The hosts have put a lot of love into the decor of this lovely cottage, which is cozy and homely with its muted pastel colors on the walls and personal touches in every room. There's a calm and informal vibe that's perfect for a relaxed summer cottage getaway with a slow pace of life. It's just a few hundred meters down to the water from here, and the cottage looks out over a peaceful meadow and on to the sea. With its undisturbed location, a pheasant, hare, buzzard or swallow is likely to pass by.

The kitchen and living room, which are open to each other, offer a particularly evocative view of the water and meadow. The intimate kitchen is beautifully decorated in natural colors and has everything you need, and the living room is cozy and calming with light wood tones. There's room to cozy up on the sofa while having a conversation with someone who's cooking in the kitchen. If you don't want to cook indoors, you can also cook delicious food on the fire or on the barbecue outside.

In the living room you'll find another cozy nook - a lovely, soft daybed filled with cushions and skins in front of the wood-burning stove, where you can snuggle up. The host's children love to sit here and look into the warm fire - and they also love the cottage's children's rooms, which are both decorated in pretty pastel colors and equipped with lovely toys. There's also the option of a travel cot for smaller children.

The bedroom, like the rest of the cottage, has a calm, relaxing vibe with the personalized decor with a touch of color here and there. The bathroom is small but functional and decorated with a common thread, adding coziness and a sense of well-being with baskets and knick-knacks. The cottage also has a small annex, which works well as an extra insulated bedroom where you can retreat for a good night's sleep, read a book in the corner or enjoy the view from your bed. The cottage feel is at the forefront here, where wicker furniture and delicate colors are spiced up with the warmth of more colorful knick-knacks.

The terrace is perfect for morning coffee overlooking the water, and the patio is sunny from midday and sheltered from the wind. Here you can lie back in the sun loungers and enjoy a peaceful moment. In the evening, it's sunny in front of the house where you can eat your dinner with a view of the peaceful fields.

If you're up for a water adventure, you can sail along the coast in the house's two-person kayak and enjoy the island from the sea. If you prefer land adventures, you can take a trip to Korshavn and around Avernak on one of the island bikes provided by the hosts. 200 meters from the house you will also find two beaches - a pebble beach with the possibility of finding fossils and a child-friendly sandy beach with a sandy bottom and shallow water.

Highlights from Allan & Line

Host since February 2022

  • It is personally decorated with a focus on homeliness and cosy corners, especially for families or couples
  • The intimacy comes as soon as you step ashore on the small island, as you can't just drive into a town
  • The cottage has a lovely secluded location right in the middle of nature with views of the sea and a meadow with birdlife and Scottish Highland cattle

Our names are Line and Allan, and together with our three children we live in Svendborg, Vindeby. I, Line, grew up on Avernakø, where my parents and several members of my family live permanently. We use our summer house a lot, both in winter and summer.

I love interior design and am always on the hunt for the right flea market finds to create the coziest, most atmospheric and functional surroundings in our two homes. Our cottage and house are mostly decorated with thrift store finds and we love old design classics in oak.

I never thought I'd have a summer house, but it has become the perfect place for our family to kick back, chill out in our sleepwear and be in nature by ourselves or with good friends and family.

Allan loves being in nature, going for walks and working in his vegetable garden, which he started with my mom and dad. He is a sailor and loves life by the water - and he helps me realize the many interior design dreams I have. The kids love the many opportunities for play in the house and in nature. They are particularly interested in detective games and building caves. It's clear that they enjoy the peace and quiet of the cottage - the youngest, like her older siblings, has fallen in love with the warmth of the wood-burning stove.

We play many games indoors and outdoors. When the weather is most conducive to indoor fun, we get out the craft boxes and make dream catchers, necklaces, etc. There are endless opportunities to play and explore nature right outside the door. The kids' favorite place to play is in the gymnastics rings on the terrace. It's especially nice to make a fire at the island's packed lunch house. Outside, we take walks by the beach and look for fossils - wick candles, hollow stones, fossilized sea urchins and amber with amber lanterns or a sharp eye.

We also meet up with other families with children at the island's multi-purpose field, where we play hockey and soccer, and the little ones cycle and run around the field. There's also a skate ramp, which they have a lot of fun with.

We enjoy going to the beach in the summer where we swim, snorkel and sail along the coast on our supboards or in the kayak. The kids love fishing for crabs at the marina. There are plenty of opportunities to catch trout along the coast if you're a skilled angler.

There are several opportunities to get food served around the island. Which we take advantage of.
