We live in a modern house, built in 2006, in a quiet, child-friendly neighbourhood. Our family consists of Gabi (born 1975), Sanna (2004), Nilas (2005), Noris (2008) and our two cats Smilla and Sindri. They must be looked after, but it won’t take you much time to feed them. They are very independent. They are fond of children.

Our house on the outskirts of Arbon has two levels. On the ground floor there are the well-equipped kitchen, a bathroom with toilet and shower, one bedroom with a double bed, living room, dining table and a large terrace. We especially love the light of the sun beaming in as we enjoy our meals. We have a free view to the mountain Säntis and the Prealps. We also have a piano in the living room which guests are welcome to play, but no TV. There is wifi available. We’ve got a car park for two cars.
On the second floor there are three children’s rooms, one with a single bed, two with double beds, a little office and a little terrace. There is also a little room with a sofa bed for 1-2 persons and a full bathroom. We also have three extra mattresses for more persons.
In the cellar there is a game room for children with a table football, lots of playmobil and lego and duplo and other kinds of toys. We have a washing machine and a drier. A third room is for handicrafts.
Our sunny and peaceful garden is 670m2 with a fire place, goals for football, a net to play badminton, we’ve the games Kubb and Möllky to play outside, a vegetable garden and lovely fruit trees where you can harvest as much as you want. We also have a covered shed. There's a sandbox and a playground in our direct neighborhood. Our neighbours are friendly and helpful.
We have enough bicycles (for 5 adults, 1 junior bike, 1 children bike, 1 bmx) to start a bicycle tour along the Lake Constance, to the forest or the city. We think it’s a wonderful place to relax. We also have roller blades in different sizes and scooters.

There are two possibilities to swim in the summer: The “Schwimmbad” with several pools directly by the lake and the „Strandbad“ in a quiet area where you can rent canoes, kayaks and SUPs. Beach volley, sailing, surfing, shipping and fishing are also very popular in Arbon. We also have museums, a library, churches, many cafés and restaurants, boutiques and a lot of playgrounds. In summer there are festivals such as Slow up, several music festival as Summerdays, cultural events, concerts etc. A zoo, the Walter Zoo, is in Gossau, it takes 25min to get there by car and a amusement park “Connyland” in Lipperswil. Golf courses and tennis, badminton or squash courts are close to Arbon as well.

Also in wintertime you can go skiing or sledging in the Toggenburg, canton of Graubünden or different ski areas in Austria, to reach in 45-60min. You can do ice sports in Romanshorn and St. Gallen.
