  Description

  We live at a small horse farm close to lake Mälaren, just one hour from Stockholm. The closest city is called Enköping. Our family of four, two adults (Bernhard and me, Anna) and two sweet kids Edmund aged 7 and Celeste 5, are sharing this magical place on earth with two cats, eight chickens and five horses. We have a newly renovated guest house, with a bedroom, living room, kitchen and bathroom for you to live in. Besides, we have a summer yoga studio and four small hide outs located in one of the horse fields. This is a place for you to come home, home to be yourself. A place for enjoying the countryside of Sweden with swims in the lake, biking along beautiful small roads, trailing in the forest and listening to what the horses and nature can teach you. If you are interested in meditation, personal development or getting in contact with nature, this is the place to be. We would love to share our place and get to know some new people!

To show you around in the neighborhood and to make sure that you really will experience the Swedish countryside would be an honor.

  Aide

  We need help with taking care of the garden and the land around us, both exisiting gardens, but also see if we could find new places for plants to thrive, painting and smaller building projects. Weeding and trimming grass and bushes is a recurring theme. But also maintaining the facilities, such as mopping the wooden floor in the yoga studio. There is a need to give the fences around the horses field some love. We have some fences that needs to be repainted. We are looking for someone to stay for about two weeks at a time.
