Feel your shoulders slump, breathe a little deeper into your stomach and slow down completely as you step into this simple, architect-designed cottage at Vollerup Strand. With only the bare essentials, the cottage's clean lines and spartan interior design provide peace of mind and eye. The focus here is on a simple life with nature and each other.
The beautiful cottage is a so-called low impact house, designed to leave a minimal footprint on its surroundings. The cottage is mainly built in exclusive Douglas fir from Denmark. Outside, you'll be met by rough planed planks that can withstand the elements, while the fine sanded and oiled planks and flooring from Dinesen give a softer and warmer impression in the large, open living room inside. Sink into the deep armchairs, face the nature outside the large glass windows and enjoy that there is no unnecessary visual noise to disturb your view.
You can go for long walks in Vollerup Forest or at the beach, which is just a few minutes' walk from the cottage. Follow the paths and look for hedgehogs, salamanders and toads in the scrub and ponds, or spot fallow deer and hares leaping across the open areas. Vollerup Strand is also a great place to pull on a pair of waders and cast your line for a silvery sea trout. In the evenings, retire to the cottage's simple bedrooms, or sit outside and enjoy the area's minimal light pollution while you look for shooting stars in the night sky.

Our names are Line and Christoffer and together we have Helmut. Our holiday home was designed by architect Thomas Høyer and built by Line's father (who is a master carpenter) in collaboration with Line and Christoffer. The summer house is built as a low impact summer house, and we have tried to minimize our carbon footprint in all choices of materials and construction methods. For example, the cottage stands on stilts to save on the concrete foundation and protect the home the animals have created in nature on our property before we arrived.
We are both old scouts and love being in nature. The summer house is our little sanctuary where we can get some peace and quiet from the busy city life. Christoffer loves fishing, so he often goes down to the water and throws a line into the sea. We also go for walks in Vollerup Forest, where there is rich wildlife, edible mushrooms and a shelter with space for sleeping and campfires.
If we're going on a longer trip, we like to drive out to Røsnæs to the old lighthouse, where you can look all the way to Samsø and have a cup of coffee while petting a goat. We have also spent many hours at Røsnæs Harbor, where there is a modern harbor bath with public sauna and changing rooms. A little gem if you're into winter swimming and sauna fun. If we want a good lunch, we always drive to Asgers Fisk in Kalundborg and buy delicious smoked products and fish plates with remoulade.

The cottage is beautiful and is located on a plot that invites you to campfires, hide-and-seek, fun and relaxation.
Everything in the house worked well and was a good setting for a cozy family weekend.
The annex was on the damp side. Would have been nice to have some closet space in the annex / a hook or 4 to hang jackets on.
Nice jetty close by, nice sandy bottom and good benches on the beach. The area is really beautiful.
