Creative guests from Australia via the UK. Left the house super clean, left us creative gifts but most importantly left us a bag of Haribo wine gums. It doesn’t get any better than that.

Just got a booking from France. Seems this year we have global reach.🌍🌲🔥🌊

Finally managed to put up the bird boxes we’ve been repairing. Let’s see if we get some tenants. Might be too late in the season, but keeping fingers crossed for some avian action! 🪶🪺🐦‍⬛

Coffee break. Beautiful Danish spring day today. Doing some general tidying up, discovering some interesting burrowing under the deck, spotting spring flowers, and removing pine cones from the gutters. Always working. Thankful for the opportunity to be here on a day like this . 🌲🔥🌊

Squirrel ate my boots! We’ve been clearing the shed and getting the house ready for guests. Went to fetch my trusty duck boots, bought in New Jersey over 20 years ago.

I thought they felt a bit heavy. Discovered one of our woodland friends has not only enjoyed snacking on the interior but also that they are ideal storage receptacles for acorns.

If you would like to visit and help track down the culprit, just let us know. 🐿️ 🌲🔥🌊

Today, Denmark has a new king. H.M. Queen Margrethe II abdicates and leaves the throne to her son, HRH Crown Prince Frederik. It’s a big day for Denmark. 🇩🇰

The Royal family’s hunting lodge at Trend Skov is just across the road from the summerhouse. It’s hidden deep in the woods and provides an escape from a busy public life. The lodge has been the royal family’s private residence since the time of Christian X. It’s a simple, low, angular log house built by Frederik IX and Queen Ingrid with funds they received as a public gift on the occasion of their wedding on 24 May 1935.

They purchased the hunting lodge and part of the 431-hectare forest. It’s just a few kilometres from Bjørnsholm Bay, on the Limfjord, from where the Trend River winds into the North Jutland countryside. Frederik IX often used the house in connection with hunting and as a refuge for the family during the holidays.

If you visit us at the summerhouse, you might see a royal deer wandering through our woods or, if you are lucky, a royal family member on the way to the beach at Trend. 👑🌲🔥🌊

Always love adding new books to the bookshelf. This summer there’s a new inside plus a couple of paperbacks from (not for the vegetarians who follow us). Weather has been all over the place this week but today it is outstanding. 🌲🔥🌊

Leaf print from last weekend. We’ve been cleaning the deck. It can get slippery in the winter with so many trees around the house. The cleaning machine has done it’s work. All good now. Just in time for guests this week and some spring weather. ☀️🌲🔥🌊

Hello. We’ve been hibernating. Both on social and in real life.

It’s been cold, dark and wet, but now the days are getting longer, and the weather is getting warm… er except this week, we encountered some late winter snow. ❄️

We’re tidying up for spring. Guests booked in for Easter and early June through in Denmark. If you are interested in booking the house, you can find out more through the link in bio.
We would love to see you! 🌲🔥🌊

Interesting article in Finans on the hockey stick growth plans of Landfolk. Alongside the lovely photo of the founders, there's also, further down the page, a beautiful shot of The Danish Summerhouse, taken by Kit Ulrichsen Bøhnke, Director of photography at Landfolk.

We're looking forward to welcoming more guests who discover the house through the platform.

Rosemary. We try and keep some growing around the house. It’s top of our list of herbs for use on the fire or bbq. Managing to keep this plant alive in an old watering can that burst when the water we left in it froze last winter. ❄️🌲🔥🌊

The fire edit:🔥 We've just upgraded our fireplace cooking gear to include a new cast iron ft6 Petromax Dutch Oven with flat feet. It's big enough to cook your favourite chilli for about 4-8 people, and you can use the lid as a frying pan or shallow dish - pan-fried Løgstør mussels, anyone?
The new addition sits alongside our fire bridge and frying pans. With enamel mugs and jugs from Falcon Enamelware and the brilliantly named "Perkomax" percolator supplying tea and coffee, we think we have you set up for a successful cookout. 🍳Also, there are some excellent books in the house for some outdoor cooking recipe inspiration.📚

Come and visit; we would love to see what you can create.🌲🔥🌊

Deck sweep. Change over day. Fortunate to have wonderful people to stay who respect the house and make it easy to prepare for new guests. Visitors from the Netherlands arrived today; they’re leaving on the 6th. The week after is free if you are interested. 😀🌲🔥🌊

Earlier this year, a large format package dropped on the deck at the house. We discovered through The Stack podcast from Monocle, hosted by the wonderful . Large format, beautiful photographs, and for the German readers amongst you, some illuminating text. They’re on the dresser in the downstairs bedroom if you’re interested. One for the cold water kite surfers who come to visit nearby Trend beach. 🏄🌊🌲🔥

Guest ready. If the good weather continues the sun loungers will be out soon. It’s the time of the year for the short walk to the beach for a morning swim. 🌊🔥🌲☀️

The local squirrels provided this afternoon’s entertainment.
We mostly see the red/brown varieties around the house, but very occasionally, you might get lucky and see a black one.

After a quick bit of research, it seems black and red squirrels are the same species, but the red coat genes are stronger than the black coat genes. Once the red colour becomes dominant in an area, the black-coated squirrels can disappear over relatively few generations.

Enough squirrel info for today...

Rain this morning. At the house to prepare for the annual workday on our road. It's Kristi himmelfartsdag (Ascension Day, Festo Ascencio or Ascencio Domini) tomorrow, and a national holiday in Denmark.
The neighbours meet up, have some coffee, a few morning rolls and a little snaps to get the ball rolling. Then we fix the road, cut down some overhanging branches, tidy up the grass verges. Then lunch.
We're hosting this year. Hoping for a long table on the deck, but with the changeable weather, it's probably going to be 15 inside.
Let's see.
