  Description

  Renovating an old farm in an Island outside Trondheim.
  
  Our small family () offer a stay in a farm house close to the sea just on the coast of Trøndelag. Small boat, kayaks and bikes provided.
  
  Take the train to Levanger and free ferry over to the Island.
  
  We do not live on the Island, but use it as a summer house, so some of the time you will be There alone (you have neighbours).
  
  We provide food, your own room
  
  Some of the boards Are rotten so we need some help from someone that has done carpentry before.
  
  Our plan is to use the house as a holiday home. Maybe convert the barn into a space for parties and gather family and friends.
  
  We will set up wifi and have bicycles for you to get around. The island is only a few kilometres long.
