House-sitting in Gjølga

Needs and animals

Big garden | 1 Dog | 1 Cat

Hei!

Were leaving for a month and are looking for someone who could take care of our dog and cat.

We’re looking for someone who is tidy, enjoys small things (big things too) in life and preferably doesn’t smoke. It’s an old house that needs some getting used to.

We have a pembroke corgi Bobbi, cat Gustav, and some house plants to keep alive. Bobbi likes to sleep with humans while the cat does his own thing. Bobbi hangs around the house during the day but is always up for a hike, just grab a leash and you’re good to go. Gustav might follow you both for a bit.

Bobbi and Gustav get food twice a day, morning and evening.

Checking the mail box by the road once a week.

House

It’s an old farmhouse house in the countryside. It has a beautiful wiev of the lake, and it sits at the edge of the forest.

We warm the house with wood burning stove, so you’ll have to be operating the oven on the living room.

You’ll need a good car to drive up to the house. I have a Toyota rav4 and it works ok. But then we get snowed in cars with low suspension and without 4x4 will not make it.

We’re currently adding an extra bit to the house so there is an addition that is not finished on the inside yet.

There is a really nice living room with a wiev of the lake, two bedrooms, retro bathroom and a kitchen. We also have a wooden guesthouse and a stone guesthouse.

Our farm is called Slettvoll and it’s 10 minutes by car from the nearest store and town which is on the seaside.

It’s perfect for being in nature. Northern lights happen often if that’s what you’d like to see.

There are cross country trails nearby too.

Staying at Gosia' s house was an amazing experience for us. Unfortunatelly we couldn't meet her before our arrival but we got clear instructions and her partner Jonas was waiting for us. Next day he showed us the whole farm and how to take care about the goats. At the first moment we were worried how we can manage that but after few days we got used to it and it was quite easy. They were very friendly and cute. We and our kids also really felt in love with them :-) We took care also after corgi dog Bobbina and cat Gustav which was very independent and easy going. And Bobbina is absolutely amazing dog, very friendly, all the time she was around us. In the end of our stay we finally met Gosia and stayed a couple of days with her, Jonas and their cute baby. It was really nice time we spent with them and we were happy to get to know them and felt like old friends. Thank you for opportunity to be here and we absolutely recommend this amazing place.
