We are a couple who love to travel, and we enjoy art, music of all kinds and other cultural activities. We are quite technology savvy (atleast most of us...), and spend quite a bit of time in front of our computers. Gunda writes about food, and we love to exchange with people who share that interest. We almost always cook in the house, so we usually eat lunch out, and go home for dinner.
Sometimes we travel with our two adult children (Vemund, born 1998 and Agnete born 1996), but usually it's just the two of us who travel.

Description de notre maison d'échange
[Open for offers for 2024, all set for 2023]
The house is a well equipped former director's house in very good condition, built in 1920. The house is 400 meters from Laxsjön lake. It has belonged to Billingsfors factory, a paper mill located in Billingsfors. This causes some noise from time to time, and some days you can smell the paper production, when the wind comes from southeast.
Nevertheless, the house is very close to the forest and you can see deer, foxes and squirrels in the garden when sitting at the breakfast table. Going hiking in the woods behind the house you can also encounter moose and lynx.
The house has six bedrooms, one on the ground floor behind the kitchen, three on the second floor and two in the attic. The room on the ground floor has a single bed 80x200 cm. There are double beds in the three bedrooms upstairs, one of them 180x220cm. In one of the bedrooms there is a sink. One bathroom on each floor and a toilet/sink downstairs. The living room upstairs has a sofa that can be opened into a double bed, and an extra sofa which sleeps one. In the attic there is one double bed and one single bed in each room. One of the single beds can easily be moved out to the hall, and made double.

Description de notre quartier et ses alentours
Billingsfors is a country village located close to the lake Laxsjön. Laxsjön is perfect for rowing, fishing and bathing. The house is located in Låftmans Backe, a quiet street with friendly neighbours. The garden is spacious, and the house is surrounded by a lush forest. In the forest you can pick mushrooms and berries during summer, and you will also find fruit trees and berry bushes in the garden.
There is a local store (ICA) with a good selection of food open 9-21 all days ca. 1,5 km fra our house. Close to the shop you will also find a bankomat, a few thrift shops and two restaurants.
The surroundings are very beautiful, with several nature reserves within walking and biking distance. Ôsan nature reserve gives bathing possibilities, with a clean and cosy sand beach. Höljerudsforsarna nature reserve is a path that runs from Billingsfors to Bengtsfors, it winds past water falls and canal locks, back and forth over Dalslands canal.

Nos conseils pour des restaurants, cafés, shopping et activitiés à ne pas manquer
This part of Sweden has many antique markets and thrift shops (look for the sign "loppis", flea market). It's easy to find antiques and collector items at good prices, especially if you love scandinavian design.
Åmål, Ed and Bengtsfors are cute little towns with shopping possibilities and cultural activities. Baldersnäs is a beautiful mansion where you can take walks, watch handicraft being made and eat at the restaurant. We also recommend a visit to Dals Rostock, a beautiful little village with a toy museum, a herbal garden, an artist studio and shop plus a mini train station where kids can borrow a key and go in for free. Fengersfors is also a very nice little town, with an artist collective running shops, workshops, a restaurant and a café.
The surroundings are very beautiful, with several nature reserves within walking and biking distance. Ôsan nature reserve gives bathing possibilities, with a clean and cosy sand beach. Höljerudsforsarna nature reserve is a path that runs from Billingsfors to Bengtsfors, it winds past water falls and canal locks, back and forth over the canal Dalslands kanal. Between June 24th and August 10th there is even a channel boat that takes you down to Håverud, a great boat ride with a train that takes you back to Billingsfors. The park in front of the main Billingsfors factory mansion can be used for picknicks and beaver and deer spotting.

Ce qu'on apprécie, ce qu'on apprécie moins… Voici nos préférences et nos règles de maison.
The house is heated with geothermal heat. The kettle unit is in the basement, in the room far down and to the right. Set your desired temperature on the display.
On arrival, it will be set at 18 degrees Celcius. The temperature can also be regulated in each room by adjusting the radiators.
Waste instructions will be found in the kitchen. Note that plastic waste, paper and metal/glass must be removed from the house and taken to a local waste station before you leave.
Otherwise: Treat our house and our belongings with respect, we promise to do the same.
