Words from happy guests

The house was very comfortably furnished, and the view of the lake is particularly beautiful.

Christina from Germany

Stay for 2 adults and 1 child

Very tastefully decorated, beautiful garden.

Susanne from Germany

Stay for 2 adults

Our stay at Anne and Frode’s cabin was truly a dream! They are such warm and welcoming hosts, greeting us with flowers and champagne to celebrate our honeymoon. The cabin is every bit as beautiful as in the photos — nestled in the forest, with breathtaking views from every room. It offers everything you could need: a well-equipped kitchen, a kayak and boat for exploring the fjord, and an annex house with a second bedroom and a relaxing sauna. We absolutely loved our time there and can’t wait to come back!

Aisha from Austria

Stay for 2 adults

A beautiful vacation home created from a former stable building with a lovingly designed interior. All rooms are large and bright. The living area in particular has large windows with views of the surrounding area and the Schlei. The house is surrounded by a large lawn and is nestled among the fields and meadows of the region.

Sönke from Germany

Stay for 5 adults

We had a wonderful week in the middle of the Swedish wilderness. The house can be reached after a 10-minute drive along gravel roads, deeper and deeper into the forest. But you are completely alone there and the surroundings are beautiful. Wonderful! The vacation home is very comfortably furnished and equipped with the essentials. However, you have to be prepared for the fact that there is no running water here. You can filter lake water for drinking, washing up, etc. The toilet is an outhouse. A headlamp for nighttime trips to the toilet is a must-have in your luggage ;) Electricity is provided by a small solar panel. The battery lasted us even during continuous drizzly weather. However, for energy-intensive appliances such as the coffee machine or the submersible pump for the pool, you will need to switch on a gasoline-powered generator from time to time. We only used the fireplace for heating and were provided with more than enough firewood. Gas and diesel heating would also have been available. If you are looking for peace and seclusion and can do without a few luxuries, this is the place for you. It was perfect for us!

Nina from Germany

Stay for 2 adults

The vacation home offers plenty of space and comfort for a large family. Everything is lovingly furnished and well organized. The large panoramic windows offer a beautiful view of the countryside.

Regina from Germany
