Lovely cottage in fantastic surroundings! We wanted for nothing :)

Maria from Denmark

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

We had a wonderful time in this very modern and well-maintained house. The amenities left nothing to be desired. There were four of us, but even for a family with three children, everyone had their own room and plenty of space. The outdoor area is also beautifully landscaped and blends in wonderfully with the surrounding countryside. We were there in the summer and the short walk to the lake is easy to manage. There are a few houses in the neighborhood and a small vegetable garden right next door where you can buy seasonal produce. If you are looking for a relaxing stay with lots of nature and peace and quiet, this is the place for you!
