General Overview

We would love to welcome you to our home in Denmark - homeland of H.C. Andersen and the vikings! We live in a beautiful little eco village just 25 minutes by train from Copenhagen city. The village has a strong community, and you will meet and greet our friendly and helpful neighbours. We live in the historic city Roskilde - former Viking capital. We are surrounded by cherry trees, apple trees, berries and chestnut. It is paradise for children to explore safely with no cars and friendly animals to say hello to. In the village we have a farm shop with all organic vegetables, nuts, cheese, beers, wine, chocolate and much more. It is open two hours a day (not in July though). On site you will find sheep, goats, horses, rabbits - they are not ours, so you will not need to care for them. We have a cat though, that you would have to take good care of 🐈 We have a clean lake on site you can swim in, a shared playground with basket, trampoline, swings and more. We have bikes for all ages - also electric bikes to take you on a fast trip along the coast. We love everything about our home: social village life, easy access to nature, a wonderful and safe world for children to explore, fast connection to Copenhagen, short distance to Roskilde harbour and Roskilde Fjord. Come and see for yourself! Our house has room for 6 people (115 m2) and is equipped with everything a family needs. It is made of sustainable materials and has all the things to make your stay comfortable; dishwasher, coffee maker, bathtub etc. Our home is "Nordic" in style with light wooden floors and beams. We have two private gardens and several green areas that are shared with neighbours. Don’t hesitate to get in contact and let’s exchange ❤️

The Space

Our house has room for 6 people with two bedrooms and one mezzanine. Downstairs we have a kitchen and a living room in one, a bedroom and a "greenery" with a rocking chair. We also have two private gardens or terraces - one in the front of the house and one behind our house. Upstairs we have two bedrooms, one bathroom with a tub and a shower, a living room plus a mezzanine where two people can sleep. All in all we have place for 8 people to sleep in the house, if they don't mind sharing a doublebed. The house is surrounded by green areas, and though we are close to Copenhagen and Roskilde city centre, it feels like a green sanctuary with no cars.

Guest Access

We have a set of stairs, two floors + a mezzanine.

Notes

We have a cat, so be aware if you have allergies. We will provide you with a house guide if we agree to exchange.

  • Sidsel and Jacob’s house is very bright and pleasant. The atmosphere is airy and light, and you instantly feel at home! The outside is a little paradise with the large shared garden, fruit trees, children’s play area with a trampoline, rabbits, and a pétanque court… a small eco-hamlet with shared laundry facilities, a common room for large meals and celebrations. Living here has been a refreshing experience! There are beautiful bike rides to enjoy in the surrounding area. A feeling of peace and serenity. It does you good! A huge thank you to Sidsel and Jacob, who made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived and throughout our entire stay. They are very approachable people with a genuine desire to talk and share. Their enthusiasm is unwavering, and they always have a smile on their faces. We found this truly enjoyable and enriching. We hope to see you again soon!!

  • We are so grateful for our time in Sidsel’s special home. The neighborhood is beautiful and so fun to explore. Our kids were able to be independent since it is car-free and spend so much time outdoors. We loved our time with their cat Marlow. They were so generous to share their bikes with us, which made it easy to explore Roskilde’s harbor and town center and to get to the train station to access Copenhagen. Sidsel was so warm and easy to communicate with. The experience was wonderful from beginning to end.

  • Sidsel and Jakob’s home is completely magical. The photos don’t do it justice. It’s very scandi chic in its style - comfortable, light with stylish art and a killer coffee maker. The area is unlike anything we’ve experienced - the eco village is so interesting. We loved the safe community vibe, the open spaces for our children to run and play in and fruit picking from the many plum, cherry and apple trees. The house is bike distance from Roskilde Fjord, which was fantastic. We loved swimming in the Fjord, eating pastries at the chic harbour front cafes and learning about the Viking heritage at the incredible museum. The house is well placed for quick day trips into Copenhagen. We went three times during our stay - 25 mins into the city. I can’t recommend the house more. We had a very memorable holiday. Sidsel and Jakob were warm, easy to communicate with, honest and lovely people.

OPEN TO SWAPS IN 2025 We are a family of five living in Denmark in an eco-village called Munksøgård. Our children are 3, 7, and 12 years old. We have had a couple of great exchange experiences since 2023. We have many years of experience with renting out our place via other platforms. We love to travel with our children, and find that home exchange makes so much sense and adds a cultural- and a friendship - aspect to the travel that is not found in a hotel. The village that we live in is a small eco community where we each have our separate houses, but share large green areas, access to lakes, playground and 5 beautiful common houses. In the heart of the community is an old farm house where some villagers have horses. Other villagers take care of sheep, goats and rabbits - this means an easy access to experience animals without having to care for them - usually a big plus for children! We have a wonderful bright house in Denmark, Scandinavia, in Roskilde close to Copenhagen. Easy connection to both Sweden and all of the coastline in North of Zealand. Roskilde is a historical city known for vikings, the fjord, the harbour, the music festival, the 387 year old cathedral and much more. Our house has room for 6+ people and is equipped with everything a family needs. It is made of sustainable materials. We have a cat that is part of the swap :-) We are looking for simultaneous swaps, non simultaneous swaps og globe exchanges in 2025-2026.
