An Unexpectedly Perfect Homestay
Our first homestay experience and it absolutely nailed it.
The hosts felt like long-lost local relatives from the moment we arrived. The hostess welcomed us with freshly harvested organic corn, and the warmth never stopped there. They even took us along to a family gathering at a relative’s home for a full lamb hot pot feast, where we came as guests and left as family.
The location sits at the end of a quiet street, facing a sprawling blueberry farm. What first felt a little raw and remote quickly revealed itself as pure charm, thanks to the complete absence of traffic and the total stillness that surrounds it. The whole area has an untouched quality to it, with unspoiled landscapes, fresh air, and a pace of life that feels beautifully removed from the modern world. A lovely lakeside park is just a short walk away, and the nearby farmers’ market overflows with local produce, rare vegetables, and street snacks you won’t find anywhere else.
The homestay itself doubles as a quiet art gallery, as the host and his son are artists whose works cover every wall beautifully.
Highly recommend. Come open-minded, leave with memories.
