  Description

  We are a small family in the countryside with an empty but fully equipped guest house and always have a lot to do. We're either making firewood or building a sauna, terrace or something else out of wood. We also have to look after the animals (currently chickens and geese).

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  We live in the countryside of northern Sweden with all its beautiful but also challenging aspects. We ourselves come from Germany, but have already been able to integrate well into the community here in northern Sweden.
  We are happy to show guests local traditions and the “secret” places that you won't find in the tourist guides.

  Help

  We can manage without help, but it's simply better with it. It's mostly light or medium-difficulty work on our own property.
  We often build things out of wood. Current and upcoming projects are: Building our own sauna, replacing windows, building a new terrace, insulating and cladding the façade. And of course we make firewood throughout the summer.

  Accommodation

  We have a fully equipped guest house for a maximum of six people, including a bathroom with shower, kitchen and wood-burning stove. We live on the same property in another house.
  
  We cook within the family and guests are welcome to join us for meals. We only eat breakfast as a family on school days - but who wants to get up that early? ;-)

  What else ...

  It's 16 kilometers to the next... everything... so it's good to have a car. If necessary, we can also pick you up from the airport or train station and take you into town.
