  Descripción

  We are a couple that have built a small family homestead on wild land in the beautiful rural Estonia.
  So far, we are three years here and have built our beautiful cabin home, 3 stables, a well house, poly tunnel and greenhouse, chicken coop (chicken mansion) and a safe run for when we’re not home, an outhouse composting toilet, workstations, some outbuildings and animal field shelters, fenced areas of pasture and gardens. Built a small veg garden and areas for growing food, a fire pit to cook and share food and spend time around playing the guitar and enjoying a small fire. Wood storage and chopping station and areas of flower beds and bushes.
  We have some rescued animals and wish to continue building our homestead, to grow more food and flowers, become more self sufficient, to live more natural and more in tune with Mother Nature and the seasons.
  To enable us to rescue more animals and of course, to share our beautiful place, our land and woodlands with like minded people.
  
  Whilst building our cabin, we lived in our self converted camper van and now we wish to offer this as accommodation for someone, or an other couple, wishing to share some of our journey with us.
  To enjoy the nature and rural life here with us and help us to continue to grow.
  Skills exchange, accommodations and access to our home grown goods and fruits will be provided.
  We speak Estonian and English.

  You are free to access the majority of our property and will have you own space to relax and kick back. There is also a place for you to park a vehicle if you have your own.
  We like to have our privacy on an evening and so there is a small area that would be out of bounds.

  We have a wifi connection that can be used for online workers that wish to work on thier own projects during hours/days off. This is accessible in and around our cabin, so can be used with prior arrangements or if you are happy to seat yourself in the outdoor sitting area and can connect from there, that’s no problem either. We have requested from our provider a booster element for our router and will install that once it arrives. This should increase the area that the wifi can be accessed from.

  Podría aceptar mascotas

  Cats and smaller caged pets are very welcome. We also welcome well behaved dogs but they must stay in thier own area. It’s is absolutely essential they are obedient and friendly around other animals for the safety of our resident animals and themselves. Owners must clean up after them.
