    Description

    Welcome to this charming old school in the countryside in Sweden. I love animals and have two dogs and two cats who never say no to attention :)
    (There are also often ”extra” animals in need of help being cared for.)
    The house is an old schoolhouse under renovation, situated in a lovely rural setting with a dairy farm and Church next door. Beautiful Forest walks and the occasional swims in the lake not too far away. Lots of apples and berries to pick in season which I require help with to make juice and jams etc, also mushroom picking.
    I love a good barbecue in the evening and enjoy hearing about other peoples experiences.
    No children or pets other than my own unfortunately, and-preferrably no smokers.
    You should love animals and nature, be willing to help in the house and garden, do basic maintenance chores as well as help look after the animals. There’s lots to do and the internet connection is very good in the accommodation provided.
    I also travel frequently and often require House-sitters
    I am a pescatarian so there is no meat served in the house.
    I would love to hear from you !

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    Small flat fully furnished with own kitchen. Many meals will be cooked and eaten together, but not all. Large garden and free Wifi.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    Nature walks, cinema and restaurants, mini golf course in town 14 km away, amenities shop and railway station 5 km away. Swimming ponds within cycling distance. Above the ground swimming pool during summer months in my garden. Fantastic birdwatching and especially at Hornborgasjön where thousands of cranes congregate each spring to dance, as well as a rich archeological history in the area. Many churches.
    I expect everyone to clean up after themselves and to assist with daily chores. Being Pleasant to each other and the Animals is a necessity. Obviously honesty is a must.

    Not more than 2/3 volunteers at a time and not for shorter than 2 weeks to start.
    Absolutely no drugs or small children. Accomodation is on second floor with stairs.
