In this historic house from 1899, you can experience a unique blend of literary history and modern artistic spirit. The famous author Harry Martinsson spent his childhood here and wrote his well-known work 'Nässlorna blomma' (The Nettles Bloom), and the creative energy still lives on in every room.
Upstairs, a spacious apartment with high ceilings awaits, where natural light floods in through the windows. The rustic and urban interior has been designed with the history of the house in mind, with a focus on sustainable and non-toxic materials. Two balconies, a dining room, living room/studio, bedroom, and a charming loft create the perfect balance between comfort and inspiration.
A lush garden surrounds the house, where fruit trees and bushes create a peaceful atmosphere. Here you can enjoy quiet moments and let your creativity flow in the rural setting. Practical details such as parking spaces behind the house make your stay comfortable.
From your base in Gylsboda, you can explore the area's many attractions. The local quarry with a sauna is just a few minutes away, and cultural experiences such as Sliperiet Gylsboda, the IKEA Museum, and Wanås Sculpture Park are waiting to be discovered. The surrounding forests also offer fantastic hiking trails and beautiful lakes for nature experiences.

My name is Martin, and my partner Andrew and I found Gylsboda seven years ago. This house is my pride and joy, which I rescued shortly after we moved here. We have placed great emphasis on renovating with natural materials and preserving the character of the house. During the low season, the property serves as an artist's residence, contributing to the creative atmosphere of the village.

The finest apartment in a fantastic location in Sweden. The apartment had everything you could possibly need on vacation, and it was fantastic that you could rent a sauna while you were there.
