Skomagerhytten is a small, cozy, rustic house with a unique location right at the start of a forest and a lake. The lake belongs to Gråsten Castle, which is located on the other side of the lake, and the view from the little house over the lake is fantastic. Here you can stay in the cobbler's old workshop - a charming annex lovingly and rustically renovated with respect for the unique history and soul of the house.
The house itself is full of authentic charm with exposed bricks and old beams in the ceilings, and the floors and ceilings are original and crooked with old Flensburg bricks and solid oak planks. It's authentic and a little primitive with the old details and the bed and living room openly connected in the space that was once the shoemaker's old workshop.
In addition to the bed area with the fairytale bed in the living room, where a curtain can be drawn between the rooms, the cobbler's hut's 56 square meters offers another bedroom with three beds. There's also room for a baby bed.
Here you can enjoy primitive luxury with details like a charming SMEG fridge in the rustic but new and modern kitchen. The cabin has a private entrance and your own little enclosed backyard where you can enjoy the scent of the rose bushes on the terrace with café set and barbecue.
On one side of Skomagerhytten you have direct access to the Gråsten forests with some of Southern Jutland's best hiking trails and cycling routes, and on the other side is the cozy square with small shops, restaurants and Den Gamle Kro. Within a five-minute walk you can reach the beautiful marina, the royal kitchen garden and Gråsten Castle, where you can watch the Royal Life Guard march past in the summer. Alnor Strandpark is 900 meters away with a blue beach flag and child-friendly sandy beach, and Sønderborg can be reached in 10 minutes by car, and the Gendarmstien trail runs right past the beautiful grounds.
There is free parking and two adult bikes you can borrow for free.
It's an old house and the floors are chilly in the fall, winter and early spring - so it's nice to bring slippers or warm wool socks for the coldest days.

The rustic soul and charm of the old shoemaker's workshop
The fine interior design with old elegant furniture that gives the house a great atmosphere
My name is Johan Frederik and I live in Aarhus. I have a holiday home in Gråsten, and Skomagerhytten here is an annex on the same plot as the main house, which I use on weekends.
In 2021, I took over the small house and renovated it. It started with me wanting to make a single room for hikers, as I love hiking in the Gråsten forests and on the Gendarmstien trail - but it took off, and now Skomagerhytten is a wonderful place to enjoy both summer and winter.
I dreamed of a house close to nature and a place where you can be alone, and I enjoy that the plot is close to hiking trails, lake, sea and forests. There is also a small cozy town center a few hundred meters away, so it's a great place no matter what you like. You're always welcome to email, text or call me and I'll do my best to help.

A very cozy house, with charm and character. Everything you need is available, quiet yet central location. We felt very comfortable.
