    Description

    We, Wipada and Jonas live in a croft with the forest as our neighbor. Wipada works during the day but Jonas is retired and at home most of the time. The house is made of wood and needs maintenance with painting and minor carpentry work. There is also a barn and some outbuildings that also need maintenance. If you like nature and peace, this is the place for you. You can walk in the forest, swim in nearby lakes or just enjoy the peace. 70 km from here is the beautiful city of Jönköping on Lake Vättern. In closer distance there are smaller towns and communities such as Gislaved and Värnamo. It is about 5 km to Gnosjö where we do most of our shopping. We have a car so we are happy to show you the surroundings. There is also the possibility of borrowing a car or bicycle if you want to make your own excursions. You will have your own bedroom, with space for two people, we share the kitchen and bathroom. WiFi is available although it is not the fastest.
