In this charming 19th century house, once home to a skilled glass artist from Åfors glassworks, you can experience a piece of Swedish glassworks history. The historical heritage lives on in the atmosphere of the house, where each room tells its own story.
The house offers a perfect blend of history and comfort. The interior bears traces of bygone times, while meeting modern needs. The genuine feeling of a traditional Swedish home is enhanced by the well-preserved details.
The large fenced garden is surrounded by gates and adorned with beautiful fruit trees and rhododendrons. The rippling waters of the Lyckebyån river create a tranquil atmosphere, perfect for relaxing moments outdoors.
You are right in the heart of the Glass Kingdom with only 10-15 kilometers to the most famous glassworks, such as Kosta Boda. Just 350 meters away you will find a municipal swimming area, and within 1-1.5 kilometers you will find amenities such as a gas station and charging station, grocery store and restaurant. Other nearby activities: Kosta safari park 16km away, Kalmar, Öland and the Baltic Sea 55km away and Astrid Lindgren's World 105km away.

Our names are Gregor and Ylva and we are happy to share our beloved 19th century house in Åfors. When we are not here ourselves to meet our children and grandchildren, we want others to experience the charm of our house and the beautiful surroundings. We live on Gotland but have fantastic help from our neighbors with the rental.
