    Description

    Dates
    We'd love company from May 23 – July 5 (week 27). Possibly through July 12, but we will be on a road trip for 1 week.

    Hi! 👋

    We are Jan, Susan, and sometimes our son Rasmus, living in the peaceful Danish countryside with 3 dogs, 1 cat, and many other friendly animals. 🐕 🐈

    🏡 We have a big house and a big piece of land (9.3 ha ≈ 23 acres), which requires a lot to maintain. Jan always has new projects on the way to make the place even nicer to live in. 🔨

    🌱 We moved here in July 2022 to create our dream home; there's never a shortage of projects or things to enjoy!

    🐾 We love animals and have many friendly pets, and they're excited to meet you!

    🐕 Everyday we walk around the grounds with our 3 dogs and 1 cat, and they all love to accompany us the whole way.

    🔍 We are looking for two responsible adults (preferably with a car) to share countryside life with us and help with general maintenance around our home.

    🌾 We'd love to have you here to help us around the countryside and enjoy the birds whistling and the fresh air.


    Things we could use a hand with -
    The activities are mostly outdoors, but largely under cover:

    🐾 Spending time with our dogs (walks, play, company)
    🔥 Helping fill up the firewood shed
    🎨 Possibly painting the house facade
    🍳 Cooking/making salads together
    🛏️ Helping tidy up when family or friends come to visit

    Who we'd love to share our home with

    ✅ Preferably a couple - we have a guest room, so you would need to share a bed
    ✅ Someone with a driver's license - and preferably your own car, but you could borrow ours
    ✅ Must be able to speak conversational English
    ✅ You should love dogs and cats - we have both!
    ✅ Responsible, mature, and proactive
    ✅ No guide included - you should feel at home and notice things to do yourself
    ✅ Enjoy both hands-on activities and peaceful downtime

    What we share with you

    🔥 Sauna every Monday & Wednesday
    🚗 Possible use of our car, but we prefer someone who has their own
    🍽️ Food minimum 3 times per day
    🛏️ Your own bedroom on the first floor, plus welcome to use our shelter
    🚿 Bathroom with shower on both the first floor and ground floor
    🌳 Surrounded by nature, yet close to charming Danish towns
    🥤 Always soda, sparkling water, beer, etc. available for you to enjoy

Trois labradors noirs sont assis sur le gravier devant une maison décorée pour l'automne, avec notamment des citrouilles, des courges et une lanterne ; un coin repas en plein air se trouve à proximité.
Un chat orange et blanc, l'air détendu, est allongé sur un canapé en cuir noir, la tête posée sur une patte, avec en arrière-plan des coussins géométriques colorés. Une ambiance chaleureuse.
Une maison blanche et chaleureuse est illuminée la nuit par des guirlandes lumineuses qui longent le toit. Des plantes en pot et du mobilier d'extérieur agrémentent la cour en gravier située devant.
