General overview
We would love to welcome you to our house in Skødstrup 15 km from Aarhus, the second largest Danish city. It is a safe and quiet neighborhood by the fields, close to unspoiled forrest and wonderful beaches few minutes away, water activities (SUP, kayak, windsurfing etc), numerous cultural attractions (opera house, theater, festivals, museums (Aros with the "rainbow", Moesgaard etc), old city of Aarhus, historic monuments), high end/Michelin cuisine, and not to mention the great pastries, breweries, wineries and much more. The city has great shopping, also second hand stores. There is fantastic tracking, biking trails among the best in the world. It is also close to the large attraction Lego Land and Lego House.
Denmark is a relatively small country but has so much to offer and great diversity and many who visit Aarhus, adore this city and see it as a true gem.
It is also a great base to visit other areas of Denmark like the popular Samsø or Skagen (where the two oceans meet) and the list goes on :)
We will gladly provide you with suggestions according to your preferences.

In the back you can cook a meal at the luxurious bonfire, that provides great privacy, and a place shielded from the wind, where you can relax with a good book. It is truly a wonderful spot.

We are a family of 4. My husband Kasper and I and our 2 sons: Villads (11 years old), Lukas (8 years old) .
I am a psychiatric nurse and Kasper is a CFO.
We are looking forward to great experiences. We have exchanged multiple times in Denmark and several times through PLU. All have been very positive experiences. We love the authentic feel it gives to be in a home and getting to know the people we exhange with and provide them with tips and ideas as well as get great recommendations from the hosts. We are both nonsmokers and will take great care of your home and handle things with respect as it was our own and leave it clean and tidy. We have a dog, but we will not bring her on vacation as someone will take care of her while we travel.
If you wish, you can read our reviews on airbnb as well. https://www.airbnb.dk/rooms/54315633?guests=1&adults=1&s=67&unique_share_id=a60b92a4-8795-44c8-a896-e17105194f17
Although for now, we are most keen on using this exhange platform, as it feels mere personal and is so giving.
"Open to most destiantions, mostly looking for south Europe for the summer of 2025, we are also flexible at other times during school vacations, at Christmas, in Oktober and February. Maybe a boathouse or surprise us :)
An Exchange or we can offer a globe"
