Help
We're extending our house and could mostly need help with looking after our three children and maybe help prepare lunch. But depeding on your interest we could also need help with gardening, we have a greenhouse on the property growing mainly vegetables. Also painting the house and garage are on our to-do list as well as working with the brush cutter to clear the bushes around the house so if you like working with your body and machines you're welcome to help with that.

Accommodation
Depending on if my husbands company are open to guests or not we may offer two different accommodation. If the cabins are closed you are welcome to stay in one of our two cabins close to the house. The cabins have a king size bed and armchairs, with toilet and shower in a separate building next to the cabins.
If cabins are open a simpler guest room next to our house can be offered, and using toilet and shower in our house.
What else ...
There's good fishing opportunities in the lake close by and we also have a small boat possible to borrow when staying with us. If you have a car there's possible to reach Nikkaluokta and also Abisko a bit further away for hiking. The local bus also passes by towards/from Nikkaloukta once a day each way. Horseback riding with Ofelas is another opportunity just 10 mins away.
