Program Details

We usually host one volunteer or a couple/friends at a time. You will have your own private apartment with a kitchen, bathroom, and lake access.

We work together in a relaxed and flexible way. Some days are busier due to guest arrivals and departures, while other days are very quiet.

Our goal is to create a fair exchange: a few hours of help each week in return for accommodation, breakfast ingredients, and the opportunity to experience life in Swedish Lapland.


Activities & Shift

Tasks mainly include preparing guest rooms, changing bed linen, cleaning, laundry and keeping the property tidy.

Depending on the season, there may also be small outdoor projects or maintenance tasks.

The workload is approximately 20 hours per week with 3 days off.


Rules

We prefer a minimum stay of 4 weeks.

Volunteers should be reliable, independent and comfortable living in a remote area. We appreciate open communication and a positive attitude.

Smoking is only allowed outside in a smoking area. No drugs or partys allowed.
