Description
I recently acquired an old inn with a farm and sauna. There is a large area with several buildings, a pond for swimming in summer and winter, and a nearby forest with lovely walking trails.
I have a friendly Alaskan Malamute. You will love the peace and quietness here. Relax in the forest, fish in the pond, practice permaculture gardening, or invent your own way of relaxing.
Since I enjoy all things active, I am always open to doing a variety of sports together, as well as doing different mindfulness practices.
Having just moved here, I am still deciding what the property should be used for. As this is just the beginning of this place, I would appreciate any help from locals and from the Workaway community. At the moment I cannot offer payment for this kind of help. The place is not a business, so the help for running hospitality operations is not needed, rather for helping with gardening, painting, building a fence, and other DIY projects.
To make this into a place where people want to be and return to, it needs new ideas, a fresh coat of paint, and a lot of vegetation.
