Description
We are a family of four: Jenny 37, Jon 40, Dylan 6 and Bonnie 3. We live in a house we built ourselves next to a lake in the forest 30 min drive from Gothenburg. When we built the house we had a lot of workawayers who helped us with everything from building, painting, cooking and gardening. Once we completed the house we deleted our profile but now we feel that we miss both the company and the extra hands so here we go again!

You will stay in our guesthouse. There’s a kitchen, toilet, a canoe and sup boards for you to borrow. There’s no shower but you can use one in the main house.
We will provide 3 meals a day. You may choose to eat in the guesthouse or we will cook and eat together outside or in the main house.

There’s not so good transfer but you can borrow a bicycle to get to the buss station if you want to go and explore Gothenburg. Around the house there’s plenty of nice hiking trail and you can use the canoe to explore the lake.

Hej! Thank you so much for the best summer week in Sweden! It was a special time that I have never experienced before that I could live a good life by the lake. I didn't understand the Swedish language, but just looking at the children's expressions made me feel alive and happy. I was happy to explore the garden… read more
