  Description

  We are a Swedish/German family of 5.
  My husband, our 3 girls age 4, 8 and 12 and me with 3 cats, 2 dogs and 2 horses.
  We live on a little farm in the beautiful North of Sweden close to Kiruna and we always have a million ongoing projects around the horses, buildings and the kitchen garden.
  
  Please check the calendar if you are interested. In the green marked periods you can live in your own guest house on the property. In the yellow marked periods we can only provide a place to put your camper van.
