Description
Hi
I am Katarina and I live in Swedish Lapland together with my 2 children and my partner. We live in an old manor from the 18th century. Our neighbour is the beautiful nature surrounding us.
Me and my familey is now looking for one or two enthusiastic volunteers to join us in May, June, July, August and September. 4 weeks or more would be suitable. 3 months in a row would be awesome!
The manor, where we live, is an old works manor and is placed in a beautiful and undisturbed location. There are walking trails where you can see historical reminders of the Melderstein works era. In our surroundings we also have the forest, some small mountains, the river, lakes and the sea! The closest supermarket is 15 kilometres away. We have three cities about 50 kilometres from our home.
The manor is nowadays a small venue and hotel. I am the owner, and this is my full-time business as well as my home. We have 13 rooms and are open all year for groups and parties as well as private reservations. The restaurant is open in July.
We think that you are a person that is flexible, positive, and like to have things to do. We are mainly looking for someone that can do outdoor tasks in our garden, cutting the lawn, take care of flowers and easier maintenance like painting. We need help around our private home but also our summer house and my fathers home. No experience needed.
Get in touch, we'd love to hear from you!
