The property consists of a 7,000 sqm plot with 4 buildings on the plot: the main house, a guest house, a barn and an older guest house that is not currently in use. The main cottage, with its two floors, consists of a living room, dining room, bathroom, kitchen and bedroom #2 on the lower floor. Upstairs are bedrooms #1 and #5, where bedroom #5 is more like a common room/extra beds with a single bed and a sofa bed. There are 2 patios, a smaller one behind the house with morning sun adjoining bedroom #2, and the larger one in the front with afternoon and evening sun, perfect for barbecuing and dinner at the large dining area. In the yellow guest house behind the barn are bedrooms #3 and #4, with a dry toilet with a separate. There is also a fireplace and a bookcase filled with books. The 8 beds thus include both the beds in the main cottage and the beds in the guest cottage. The main cabin can accommodate a family of 4-5 people. >>>>>>>> Important note <<<<<<<< The main house was formerly just a cottage built in the early 1900s. Over the years, several additions have been made. There is therefore peeling paint on the walls and details, as well as marks on the floors that have been created over time. Nothing that interferes with the stay as such, but we still want to inform you that the house is not in "newly renovated condition." The house was built according to the standards of the time, which means a lower ceiling with different heights in different rooms. Since we are an accommodation that allows pets, there are signs of just that. For example, the small sofa bed upstairs has cat scratch marks. This property is simple, with older electronic equipment (i.e. washing machine/dryer, kitchen utensils, etc.). All amenities are available for year-round living, but guests should not expect a newly renovated space or appliances of the latest quality. Guest access Guests may use all the spaces in the guest house and main house as well as the property. The barn and the older red guest house are excluded from access. You live alone on the farm, with the nearest neighbor about 1 km in each direction.

It is completely safe to drink the water (sampling is done continuously), and if you experience this, our tip is to fill bottles with water and let them stand and aerate for 10-15 minutes, then put them in the fridge. This usually removes the smell. Of course, you can also buy bottled water at the grocery store in the city center and bring it to the cabin if you prefer.
