Description of the home we are offering for exchange
WE ALREADY FOUND A HOUSE FOR THIS SUMMER (2016).
Nice house, perfect for families, garden with terrace, 15min to Lake of Constance by bike (10min. by car).
The house has on the ground floor an open kitchen and a large living / dining area. The small hall includes a guest toilet. From the living room you enter the terrace (south side), where you can have breakfast and your afternoon coffee or tea from spring to autumn.
Upstairs we have a bedroom (two mattresses, 2x1m wide) with Anstellbett, a guest room with another bed (1,60m french bed), a children's bedroom (with a cot), a bathroom with shower, bath and baby bath, two washbasins and a toilet. There is also a small study upstairs.
In contrast / basement there is the boiler room with a washing machine.
If necessary, you can also use the guest room with 1.40 m french bed and a small bathroom (toilet and shower).
In autumn / winter the house can be heated in addition to the heating with a cozy wood stove

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
Our neighbors are very gentle and helpful. Many of them have children. There are also a Waldorf school and a Waldorf kindergarten in the neighbourhood. We live at the edge of our village, you just have to cross the street for walking or cycling through the apple orchards, through small woods. You can visit a Demeter farm with a small petting zoo. It takes you 15-20 minutes by bike to the public bathing beach Bodman (Bodensee), or to the promenade Ludwigshafen (Bodensee). Wahlwies has a railway station, so you can visit Radolfzell (10min) or Konstanz (30min) without using the car. Our village is perfect for children, you don’t have to worry about them playing outside. There is a Dorfladen (Cornershop) incl. bakery five minutes from our house. The next larger stores are about 3km away. In addition to our garden with terrace we rent a larger garden opposite the house, where we’re trying to cultivate some vegetables. By bike and on foot (but also by car) Wahlwies is perfectly situated.

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
It takes you just a few minutes by car to reach different little towns or villages at the lake of Constance (Bodman, Ludwigshafen, 5min., Überlingen 15, Radolfzell 10, Konstanz 30). Even by bike there are many nice places to visit. If you want to visit larger towns (Stuttgart, Munich), you can go there by train or by car. You can reach the mountains in 1-2 hrs for Skiing / Snowboarding.

Our home exchange - here are our Preferences and House Rules
It is important to us that there is no smoking in our house. Our cat should be treated friendly. She wants to be feeded twice a day. In summertime it would be great if the plants are watered. And, of course, we wish our house clean and tidy when coming home.
