Details
Description
We (Dutch couple) have an in central Sweden, a "värdshuset" (hostel) with fourteen rooms. Everything is built of wood. The location is on the one side on the sometimes busy road and on the other side the hostel is located directly on the river, with about 500 meters of its own riverbank. The view is magnificent.
We are trying to build a small paradise here and to eliminate the overdue maintenance. Besides that we have to manage 14 hotelrooms, a small restaurant and a big garden..
