  Description

  Hi dear you!
  
  We are a couple, Bernhard & Annika, who bought a house close to a beautiful lake on the countryside.
  We love to work in community, create community, do yoga, meditation, sweatlodge, dance, sauna, sail/row/swim in the lake, hang out with old and new friends.
  Enjoy beautiful nature as much as possible, take a hike, picnic, rest in the moss, hug a tree, explore a new area, pick berries and mushrooms.
  A bikeride away is a special and beautiful little lakeside village, Stjärnsund, with a community around the hostel and retreat centre Fridhem. More info below 🌟
  
  We like to invite you for a nice time, learning from and inspiring eachother. We apprechiate open and honest communication and a sweet mix of social time together and some private space too.
  If you like we can have a BBQ together on our lake view terrace in the evening sun or have a picnic together somewhere.
  Maybe visit the cultural rich town of Falun or Hedemora or a nice nature reserve.
  
  You can stay in one of our 2 cosy lake-view guesthouses where you can have privacy.
  
  The things to help us with can be to
  do some paint and garden jobs or dig out a pond together. See below for more examples. 😊
