Switch Online co-op not working, but only one way. Help!

So my friend started playing Stardew recently and wants to come and see my year 7 farm. I have 2 pre-built cabins on my farm which have never been used by any other players before, but for some reason when I host my farm does not show up for him to be able to enter. He created a new farm on his account and we are able to play together with no difficulties when he hosts and I join, just not the other way around. Maybe he is having trouble joining because I have 2 cabins already built? (Maybe I should demolish one so there is only one available for him to join into? Or demolish both and try rebuilding just one?) Perhaps he cannot join because my save is so late game? I'm at my wits end! Does anyone have any advice on how we can resolve this issue? We're both playing on Nintendo Switch online, I'm wondering if there's something wrong with my farm/save since we can play together on his new account but not on mine. Any help would be deeply appreciated!

(Footnote, we've done all sorts of trouble shooting but the fact we can play together just not specifically on MY save is what makes me wonder if it's something wrong with MY account and nothing else.)
