Guest reviews

Why people book direct

Anna-Louise and Nick Kleinherenbrink in front of the Yellow Villa
Anna-Louise & NickYour hosts — in front of the Yellow Villa

Meet your hosts

Two people, one truck, and a kursgård.

A Dutch guy and a Swedish woman who met in Germany in 2013. After seven years in the Netherlands we longed for the north, the nature and the seasons — so together with Nick’s parents we bought Kronlund Kursgård in 2020, just as the pandemic hit.

We crossed the Danish border with everything we owned in one car and one truck, right before it closed. Since then we’ve been bringing Kronlund back to life.
