“We had a wonderful time in the home of Mette och Carsten, their house has a welcoming feeling that made our whole family feel at home right at once. The house is very nice, there is a huge panorama window and a skylight in the living room that lets in lots of light from the cosy garden and the children\'s rooms had everything our kids needed, they started playing immediately. They also enjoyed feeding the chicken and fetching the eggs, and we all loved the family\'s cuddly cats. There is a forest right behind the house with paths that are perfect for running and there is a stream nearby. Just down the street, perhaps a five minute walk, there is a supermarket. The house is situated at a convenient distance from Legoland and Lalandia, less than half an hour\'s drive. We highly recommend exchanging homes with this lovely family that we had the chance to meet in our home before we left. /Erik and Rebecca”

About our home
On a closed road in Vejle we live in a nice and calm family friendly house with direct access to the forest.
The house has a light and open plan livingroom overlooking the garden and the forest. This is where we spent most our time, reading, dining, playing or are being creative.
We have 3 children's rooms fully equipped with toys and games. The master bedroom is placed in a nice corner in the corridor next to the children's rooms (please notice there is no doors).
From the livingroom there is direct acces to our nice wooden terrace. A nice place to enjoy the sun and overlook the garden.
In our garden you will find a lot of nice flowers, herbs and vegetables that you are free to use. In the greenhouse you will also find tomatoes and cucumbers. For the children we have a playhouse and a big trampoline at ground. We also have chickens, that will provide you with fresh eggs, and two cats that will enjoy your company. We will ask you to take good care of the animals during your stay in our home.
We have done five exchanges with great succes and we are looking forward to new adventures!

Mette Skov's reviews
As a host (3)“We had a lovely holiday. The house is very nice and especially child-friendly. The garden is really nice, well appointed, especially with this trampoline at ground!! Chickens and eggs are also an attraction for children and kitchen!! The location is very central to visit Denmark: the countryside, the seaside, Aarhus, the west coast, Legoland, the region Odense ... and before flying back, we visited Copenhagen. We met the family in France, very pleasant meeting. I really recommend you exchange with this family!! Marie”
“We, a family of four from Germany, spent our two weeks summer vacation in Vejle in July/August 2018. Mette's home is very spacious and cozy, and it was a joy to stay there. You might need to know that the master bedroom doesn't have doors, but that was the only thing we had to get used to :-). Even though it was a terribly hot summer with no rain at all the garden was easy to handle, and the berries, tomatoes and zucchini made up for all the watering big time! The chickens were easy to take care of and their eggs were a real treat. Even the cats accepted us after a while :-). Within 15 minutes you'll reach a beautiful beach and Vejle is a good starting point for discovering southern Denmark. Our house was in perfect condition when we returned and Mette and her family took care of our garden as well. A very relaxed exchange, without any hassle. Highly recommended. ”
