Attractive House in St.Andreasberg, Harz, Germany.
Our vacation home is built around 1800 and completely renovated by us. It's cosy and comfortable at the same time. It is situated in a street at the borders of a small town called Sankt Andreasberg. The name of the house is Das Alte Haus, named so by the former owners, the Alte family that lived there for 70 years.
From the rooms at the front you look over the beautiful little town, from the windows of the living room you see our huge garden and the mountains behind it. For more pictures see our website http://www.altehaus.nl.
Sankt Andreasberg is a little town in the Harz, a beautiful National Park right in the middel of Germany. The town is on a 600 - 900 meter altitude and has a history of mining. After the mines closed, people came to Sankt Andreasberg because of the fresh air. Right now it's the ultimate place for an active holiday: there are lots of opportunities for hiking, mountainbiking and skiing. If you like cultural things you are at the right place too: lots of beautiful towns around, like Goslar. Sankt Andreasberg itself has steep streets and colorful houses, the shops and restaurants you need and really nice and welcoming people.
We are Renske (47) and Jouko (48), a married couple with three children (all boys, 13, 11 and 9 years old). We both have our own company, Renske works in the field of public relations/marketing and Jouko is a consultant, coach and interim manager. We also have an adorable red cat, who likes to stay at home while we are travelling.
We've done about 12 exchanges so far, in the USA, France, Germany, Danemark and Italy. We've done a couple exchanges through the Intervac-website and all the others through another exchange-website. We really love this special way of travelling! By the way: our first home is in The Netherlands, just outside Amsterdam. Combining a stay in both houses could be possible too. LET OP: wij zijn Nederlands, dit is ons vakantiehuis en wij wonen in Nederland. Daarom ruilen wij niet met huizen in Nederland, op de Waddeneilanden na.

About Our Family
We are Renske (53) and Jouko (54), a married couple with three children. Our main home is in The Netherlands, close to Amsterdam.
We both have our own company, Renske does projectmanagement for non-profit organisations and Jouko works on interim basis as a director on highschools.
Our oldest son Ole (19) is studying Mechanical engineering in Delft and Philosophy in Leiden. Our middel son Lude (17) is in his 6th and final year at highschool and our youngest son Josse (15) is in his 4th year.
We all like the outdoors, sports and water. With a visit to a big city once in a while for some cultural enrichment. We love staying in our second home in the Harz mountains in Germany, alternated with exchanges to see more of the world. We like making people happy with a stay in one of our houses: happy guests, happy hosts!
