General Overview
Architectural villa next to fields and forest and yet only 15 minutes from the Centre of Copenhagen (the capital of Denmark)
The Space
We offer a large and beautiful house, awarded for its streamlined 60ies architectural style. The house has one master bedroom, and three separate bedrooms, as well as two bathrooms. We have a dining room, and a large living room with an open fireplace and a grand piano. Furthermore, kitchen and washing room. All the rooms have glace from floor to roof so you almost feel like being outside in the large garden all the time.
We have a shared tennis court at the end of our road that you are welcome to use.
Guest Access
We have 3 beds - one is a double bed where you can easily sleep two (the parents room) and then we have two 1,5 persons beds where you can also sleep two persons (best if you like each other..:)) + a supplementary madras to put on the floor.
Notes
We have done many very successful house exchanges (on homeforexhange webpage) in France, England, California and Praque respectively and are now looking forward to try once again :) Home exchange has become our absolute favorite way of travelling!
We have 3-5 hens which needs fresh water and food every second day in return for fresh eggs every day:) If you want to travel away from the house overnights my parents can easily look after the hens.
We are looking forward to share our house with you and would be very happy to help you pass a wonderful vacation at our place. My parents who live close by will be happy to assist you in any way. They speak both French, English and German - as do we (albeit our German is not impressing:))

Neighbourhood
We live in a green suburb just outside Copenhagen city - on the motorway it is less than 15 minutes by car (or bus) to the city. Our house borders fields with horses and the forest, and 5 minutes away is Dyrehaven, a UNESCO forest with a small hunting castle in the middle. 10 minutes away is Øresund, the Sund between Denmark and Sweden, and when you drive up the coast the really good beaches start 40 minutes away. Shops are close by too and the city of Lyngby - our town - is cosy with lots of cafees and shops as well as an old church.
Getting to my home
Public transport is in close reach of the house - 7 minutes walk to the bus that takes you to Copenhagen in less than 20 minutes.
Nearest airport
Copenhagen airport is 20 minutes from the city centre with the metro and then 20 minutes with the bus from the city center to our house.
Getting Around
There is a bus 6-7 minutes away that take you quickly to Copenhagen. The train is in Lyngby centre, 15 minutes by foot.

We loved our exchange with thus lovely family. The home was even more beautiful than the photos, very comfortable and clean. Such a unique beautiful house. It is in a perfect location to explore copenhagen and the surrounding towns and villages. Thank you for an amazing stay.
We had the pleasure of having Marie-Louise and her family with some friends stay at our cabin for a week in July ‘26.
It was a pleasure throughout the whole exchange. Communication was smooth and easy, and we found the place in immaculate condition when we returned a day or two after they had left.
They even left some very nice gifts, which were much appreciated!
They are absolutely welcome back and we look forward to coming to Copenhagen at some point in the future - preferably to meet up!
Marie-Louise and her family took great care of our home and also looked after our beloved family pet. They are most welcome at our home if they ever wanted to come back.
Feedback for Ingvill·Non-Simultaneous exchange·9 nights
We passed the most wonderful week in Ingvill's house. The cabin is perfectly situated at the end of the road with a beautiful view over the valley and is everything you could dream of: so cosy and stylish at the same time with ample of space and all the amenities you need including games and books. We have spent many hours on the terrace enjoying the view and the sun; we have fished and swimmed in the nearby ponds and we have done a lot of great walks - within a maximum driving distance of 2 hours there are so many spectacular hikes and places to see that you will probably never finish! And then of course we watched the VM and rowed with all the people of Ål:) Fantastic!
The communication with Ingvill has been perfect from beginning to end and everything was so well planned and prepared for us.
Thank you so much, Ingvill and family for this wonderful stay - we very much hope to welcome you one day in Denmark:)

Thank you so much Sharleen, David and children for a wonderful exchange! We had a great time - your house was so nice and clean, and with easy access into the amazingly beautiful Lake District with great walks and cosy pubs. And all in the accompany of your lovely and very well behaved dog :) We were so happy to take care of her and to have her with us everywhere and seriously miss her!
Also thank you very much for all the good communication both before and under our stay including lovely pictures - it made everything very easy. And thanks not least for taking so very well care of our house including garden and chickens!
We can warmly recommend exchanges with this lovely family:)

Sharleen and David and their lovely children were fantastic guests in our house. They took so very well care of everything - including looking after the chicken:) - and had even mowed our big lawn before leaving so we could dream of nothing more! Can warmly recommend:)

We have done a lot of very successful home-exchanges already and are open for all offers within Europe. We prefer not to fly so therefore overseas exchanges are very limited for us.
People Like Us is the world's most trusted home exchange community. We believe in sharing, trust, generosity, respect, communication, equality, cooperation, honesty, hospitality, friendship, flexibility and adventure. We take pride in our homes and we care about the environment in which we live: our village, city, country and our planet. We care about the ethos of home exchange and we do it because we love the experience and the friendships that it generates.
