Description
Hi!
We are a family of four living in a beautiful little village called Gesunda, just on the mainland across from the island Sollerön. The family consists of Anna, Harjinder and Anna's two youngest children Matthew and Hannah. Part of the family are of course also our three cats and our three rabbits. We have lovely views from the property. Gesundaberget can be seen from the front of the house and lake Siljan from the back. In the summer many people walk to the top just to see the views. It is possible to walk to the top during most of the year. Also on Gesundaberget you can visit Santa in one of his many homes, Tomteland. Lake Siljan is one of the largest lakes in Sweden and is popular for swimming, fishing and boating. The whole area is known for its beauty, handicrafts and history. Nearby there are Viking graves, art museums, geological sites, craft shops, forests and more. People travel from all over the world to spend their summer holidays here.
As Anna and Harjinder both currently work in a different city they will only be home occasionally and are looking for someone who can stay for at least one month, preferably longer. We need someone who can take care of the house, garden and animals while we are away. The children (16 and 20) are still living in the house but are struggling to take care of everything themselves.
As per the children's wishes we are looking for 1-2 travellers under the the age of 30.
Please note that we are NOT accepting male travellers at the moment. Being fluent in English is a must.
Types of help and learning opportunities
Gardening
Animal Care
Help around the house
General Maintenance
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
There are many sites around here of historical and geological interest. There is also the possibility of learning about the Swedish ecosystem, wildlife and nature. Obviously you can learn about rabbits and cats. We grow some fruit and vegetables too - all organic. As we will not be home so much we will not be able to interact so much with you.
Help
We are looking for help approximately (and not more than) 3 hours per day, 5 days a week. We need help with looking after the rabbits and cats, general maintenance and housekeeping, sometimes with different types of projects. In the summer we need help with mowing the lawn and weeding and in the winter snow clearing. In the late summer and autumn help with harvesting berries, fruit and vegetables is also welcome.
As we are not home we are unable to provide any food hence less working hours.

Ophelie and Lea unfortunately had to cut their stay short due to allergies. The week they spent with us was one of the busiest for me this year so we never got a chance to get to know each other which was a shame as they seemed to be very nice people. They did all the jobs I gave them well. Had they been able to stay longer I might well have given… read more

It was fun to have Luc and his friend Ephylise staying with us. They were most helpful with harvesting potatoes and cutting the grass among other things. I only wish we had been able to communicate a bit better.

Divya is a wonderful, chatty, sociable, smart, hard working person. She is very knowledgeable about her country and has given me a better understanding about India. We had lots of fun and I feel I have made a friend for life. Both Hannah and I miss her lots and we hope to come and visit in India. She taught me to make some lovely food and helped… read more

It was lucky for me to have my first workaway experience at Anna’s “Fairy Tale House ”! The house is very comfortable and cozy. I stayed with them for a week, and they set the standards so high. Anna was very welcoming and her daughter “Hannah” is so precious. I feel it was a great start for me in 2018 with all of them! It was only because Anna… read more

Fenia was absolutely brilliant to have staying with us. We had many good conversations and I learned a lot from her. She was also a great help around the house, taking good care of the rabbits and seeing what needed doing. I hope she will come and stay with us again.

Anna welcomed me from the beginning and the work was always fair. The accommodation is very nice and cozy and the food is unbelievably good.
Many thanks for everything!

I spent four weeks at Anna and her family’s home that has a beautiful garden and wonderful nature around it with a lake, the forest and a hill with an amazing view. The working atmosphere was very relaxed and it was nice working on different projects such as painting, berry picking & freezing or taking care of the rabbits. Though, the work could… read more

It was a pleasure having Vera staying here and we miss her already. She has helped me with various tasks such as caring for my rabbits, harvesting berries, cooking some great food, cleaning and painting. We have also had some wonderful conversations mostly in Swedish as Vera speaks perfect Swedish! She is most welcome to come and stay again!

I stayed with Anna and her family for 2 weeks and I had an absolutely great experience! Anna was welcoming and friendly from the minute I arrived and always made sure to check in with me. I loved the nearby forests and lakes, both were a short walk away. I typically helped in the garden and with some light house chores, the work was never too… read more
