Modern nordic island summer house close to the forest

On the small island of Orø in Isefjorden, this modern cottage is next to a forest and just a short walk from the water. Here you can put a kayak in the water and let the dogs have a dip. But if you want to get into the water yourself, Orø's only and very child-friendly beach is a short bike ride away.

The décor is Nordic, airy and modern, and every detail has been thought of. Everything is decorated with a mix of old and new furniture in a light, Nordic style. The house consists of an open plan layout with a fully equipped kitchen, living and dining area, and then there are two lovely bedrooms. The supply of hot water is limited, so some short showers must be taken here - in true island style.

There's a cosy wood-burning stove to warm up by in the living room, and you'll find more firewood - which is included - in the shed next to the house.

In the summer, you can soak up the sun on the terraces, the kids can jump on the trampoline and use the cottage's zip line in the garden, or perhaps you'll fancy making a campfire. The hilly garden is right next to a small forest and if you are lucky you might see a few deer on their walk, sometimes crossing the garden in the morning.

If you have a dog, it's more than welcome - as long as you keep it on a lead at all times for the sake of our neighbours. If you arrive at the house by car, please park in our driveway next to the house - no parking on the gravel road here. Please note that if you are coming to the island by public transport, the distance from the Holbæk ferry on Orø to the house is four kilometres, and there are no taxis on Orø. You can either walk to the cottage or try to get a lift - people are usually very helpful. The hosts are also happy to drop off one or two bikes at the harbour for you.
