Gather the family and head to Kildekrogen in Hornbæk, where this traditional black-painted cottage is surrounded by large birch trees. Here you can surrender to the slow pace of cottage life and stroll barefoot down to the fine sandy beach 150 meters away. Not far away, Hornbæk's city life and Russia's rugged landscape await.
With its white-painted board walls, small paned windows and exposed beams, the cottage offers a real shot of cottage idyll. Here, the day stretches effortlessly before you, and you can read books, cook good food or play board games around the long table while the wood-burning stove warms and there's no TV or Playstation to steal your time.
The kitchen room with designer kitchen and long table, wood-burning stove and reading corner is the heart of the house. From here you can open one entire glass wall to the south-facing wooden terrace, where on sunny days the sun shines all day. Sit down in a garden chair with a cup of coffee or a glass of wine, look at the greenery and let your mind wander. If it rains, you can find shelter under the covered terrace where the vines wrap around you.
In the large garden, there's plenty of space to challenge the family peace with a soccer match or all kinds of garden games. You can also grab your sea kayak and each other and head for the shallow beach a short distance away. Prepare dinner in the outdoor kitchen and end the evening with roasted marshmallows around the fire.

Highlights from Jesper
Host since November 2022
Walk the 150 meters down to the beach, where you can jump into the Baltic Sea, lounge on the fine sand or go sea kayaking
Enjoy slow afternoons with charcoal on the grill, wine by the glass and soccer games in the garden
Walk through the forest to the heather hills and dunes of Russia, where the Tegner Museum is like a bunker dropped from the sky
My name is Jesper Bernt and I'm a screenwriter and author living in Vesterbro in Copenhagen. For more than ten years I have had my summer house in Kildekrogen in Hornbæk. I have renovated and expanded the house myself and decorated it the way I like it; simple, laidback and personal with a modern touch. I love being here with my friends and family and my two children, Betty, 10, and Leo, 13, or alone to write.
It's 150 meters to the beach, which is one of Zealand's absolute best and a little hidden gem compared to the larger "Copenhagen beach" in Hornbæk town. It has the finest sand and shallow water, so the children can splash around, and beautiful views, including over to Kullen in Sweden. I love being here, and because the cottage is so close by, on a hot summer day you can be down there 2, 3 or 4 times in one day.
If you go the opposite way inland, there is the coolest walk up through the forest to the area of Russia and Tegners Museum. If you go a little further, you can visit the biodynamic farm Thorshøjgaard and take a tour or buy the most delicious things from their fields or free-range animals. It's a luxury to bring home fresh vegetables and meat for the grill. On windless days, I love to take the house's sea kayak, which has room for both my children and me, and row into Hornbæk to buy ice cream and walk around the harbor.
Me and my kids and our guests enjoy the large garden, which is lush, with a sunny, south-facing terrace and many old trees and a large lawn with plenty of space for bonfires and ball games of all kinds.
