We offer you a comfortable bedroom, with a boxspring 1,80 x 2.00 m with view on our garden.
Our house is comfortable, and cosy. We have newly renovated the bathroom and toilet. On sunny days you can sit on our porch or you can sit in the garden.
We have a fast and stabil internet connection on WIFI so also for digital nomads our house is the perfect combination for helping us in the garden as working for yourself.
We'll provide three meals a day, and you can enjoy unlimited non-alcoholic drinks throughout the day.
If you'd like, you can also cook.
5 minutes from our house you will find a lake with a sandy beach where you can swim and enjoying the sun.
There is no busstop nearby sop having your own transportation is almost a must.

We shall do the work away activities together. We ourselves may also be working during other hours. We work from our home itself.
We can provide plenty of tips on things to do in the area. We are convinced that you will not be bored
Some examples:
