The classic black-painted cottage from 1975 is the gathering place for the family. It is the setting for shared experiences, for relaxation, and here you'll find everything you need for a summer cottage trip. In the lovely kitchen-dining room, there is room for peace and quiet in front of the wood-burning stove, and at the dining table, family game nights can unfold. This is also the place to enjoy a nice dinner, and even though you're inside, nature comes all the way in through the large windows facing the garden. You won't find a TV here, but the turntable, board games and high-speed fiber internet will keep you entertained. It has also been decorated and renovated with respect and love for the soul of the house.
The cottage can accommodate a family of 5 people, who can spread out on the few but good square meters. All the bedrooms have good beds, comfortable duvets and are decorated in bright colors. The house's annex is decorated with a lovely beach house feel, and here you can open the doors and enjoy the garden directly from bed.
The garden has plenty of cozy corners where you can always find shelter, sun and shade. The garden is not large, but you can explore the water holes between the trees along the paths every day. The wildlife is abundant and the tranquillity of the forest reaches all the way up to the terrace. Here you can sit until the late hours of the night under the shelter of the canopy, grill on the gas barbecue and warm yourself under the patio heater. If you prefer an open fire, you'll find the fire pit well placed in the shelter, with pots, pans and a grill grate for whatever you fancy.
Under the large oak tree is the beautiful hot tub with stargazing on clear, dark evenings. Here you'll find almost no light pollution - and the garden is secluded from the neighbors, so privacy is complete.

We are Rikke and Morten, and together we have four adult children. Rikke works as a youth counselor and family therapist in Skanderborg, and I am a firefighter at Thule Air Base in North Greenland. Our holiday home purchase was our first shared base, it was here that we had our first creative working communities and actually also where our children got to know each other properly. :-)
We both love living here on the edge of the forest, in the old plantation in Illeris, Vesthimmerland. We are fundamentally concerned that changes in and around the house, and on the grounds, should be in harmony with nature and the original expression.
Having an old cottage together means a lot to us. The place gives us plenty of opportunities to live out creative ideas, renovate, play in the garden, enjoy the beach and life at the harbor, go for walks in the woods, cook on the fire, barbecue all year round, swim (all year round), relax together, alone, or with family and friends.
We have established a small herb garden with potatoes, herbs and rhubarb, which our guests can also use.
Our style is cozy, calm and relaxed. The look and feel of a room means a lot to both of us, which is why we strive in every respect to make a room, a corner, inside or out, a pleasant place to be.
We love to cook together, play LP records, play games, make bonfires, work in the garden, fire up the hot tub, enjoy evenings with wine on the terrace .... and so much more.
The surrounding area offers plenty of opportunities. We love to take a trip to the Lovns peninsula or watch the sunset from the beach by the fjord. There are great opportunities for fantastic hiking and cycling in the beautiful old plantations. Fishing in the local put and take, SUP and kayaking in the fjord are also an option.
On the beach a few 100 meters from us, there is a jetty, a dinghy for free use, and crab fishing gear.
If you're hungry, we're happy to eat at Lene's at the golf club. At the ferry landing we often visit Det Lille Røgeri, which sells freshly caught fish, mussels and smoked products from the shop, take-away and café.
Local stalls in town offer fresh vegetables, eggs, firewood, flowers and flea markets.
It's also always a pleasure to play a game of golf at Hvalpsund Golf Club or have a lovely summer lunch at Næsbydale Badehotel, or visit the Glenholm vineyard, which also offers daily events.
Hvalpsund is not far from the islands of Mors, Livø, and Fur.
Pack your bag and get going. We would love to lend our house to you. ❤️

We spent four fantastic days in this charming holiday home in Illeris. From the moment we arrived, we immediately felt at home. The house is super cozy, tastefully decorated, and exudes warmth and character.
The hot tub under the large oak tree was an absolute favorite—stargazing in complete privacy, surrounded by peace and nature, was magical. The evening by the fire pit, roasting marshmallows and enjoying the silence of the forest, was also a highlight of our stay.
Everything in and around the house has been decorated with love and attention to detail. The kitchen is well equipped, the beds are comfortable, and the garden offers plenty of cozy corners to relax. We enjoyed the games, the record player, and the lack of a TV—it really brought us closer together.
A place to unwind, enjoy nature, and make beautiful memories together. We will definitely be back!
