    Description

    I sometimes travel and need help with gardening and house sitting. There is one more person living in my house, but he is sometimes going on vacation at the same time as me.

    This is a lovely place for relaxing in nature, but still not far away from Tønsberg town. I will update this page whenever I have possibility to host someone.

    The house is from 1866, timber. It is situated in the country side with a forest behind the house. Tønsberg is the oldest town in Norway with a lot of history if you are interested in that. There are good art- and cultural museums here, nice festivals in the summer, and possibilities for swimming and water sports in the fjord.
