Company info

Your hosts Yelena and Mark Dwyer along with their three children Kieron, Serafim and Oscar arrived in August 2019 , where they found their new home. As outdoor people we enjoy the seasons of the year and the opportunities we find ourselves in, the mushroom and berry picking, fishing, the wildlife watching while hiking,and the great times of x-country skiing. For Kieron, Serafim and Oscar the number one in the winter time is the downhill skiing at Hudson Bay Mountain with it wide selection of runs for beginners as well as for experts. And then in the evening a hot cup of tea or hot chocolate in front of the fire place....
