Welcome to your dream holiday escape!

The Cottage was built in 2001 in typical Swedish Falun red and white style. It is in a small hamlet of 15 privately owned cottages spread out along the lake shore amongst the trees. Quiet and peaceful, this comfortable home from home is close to many beautiful, interesting and exciting attractions and activities.

As with everything in Sweden, environmental considerations were paramount in the construction of the cottage. It has its own well, providing clean pumped drinking water all year round for the shower, flush toliet and modern kitchen. We now have a recycling area in the garden store for glass, metal packing, plastic and paper.

The modern, comfortable lounge seats 7 and has a TV with DVD player where you can play a DVD from home or choose one from the samll library of family DVD's available. We now have some board games too.

The cottage is only 30 metres away from Stor Sjo Lake and swimming. Why not use our open canoe to explore it? Ideal for fishing with pike, perch and pike-perch to be caught. Fishing permits & boat hire available. Contact us for more information.

The raised sundeck wraps around two sides of the cottage, which with garden furniture is perfect for dining al fresco or a BBQ. Should the sun get too strong, simply wind down the awning or cool off with a dip in the lake.

With one double bedroom,a bunk bedded room and separate guests annexe with two single beds this is just wonderful for families or couples wanting a quiet or romantic retreat. The large lawned garden offers plenty of space for garden games or a gateway to explore the forest behind.

Location & area

Sweden was voted "Favourite European Country" in the Guardian, Observer & Guardian Unlimited Travel Awards 2006

What springs to mind when you think of Sweden?

Undoubtedly ABBA and IKEA will be high on the list, perhaps images of snow, elk and vast expanses of forest. All these Sweden is justly famous for but it has so much more! Did you know, for example, that just outside Stockholm lies an archipelago of 24,000 islands, many of which are completely uninhabited? Did you know that bears and wolves still roam the forests, lynx and wolverines still hunt in the mountains, or that Sweden contains Europe's largest area of wilderness? That summer temperatures can rise to the high twenties?

What kind of holidays in Sweden would you imagine having?

Sweden is a fantastic destination for wildlife and outdoor holidays throughout the year, and offers a range of activities hard to find anywhere else in Europe. What's more, it is readily accessible from the UK, an easy country to travel in, thanks to the well-developed public transport infrastructure and the fact that almost everyone speaks excellent English, plus the country has a reputation for being clean, safe and politically stable. So put away your preconceptions about Sweden and prepare to be amazed at the wealth of opportunities the country offers for a close-to-nature experience!

Amenities & services

As you walk through the front door, take your shoes off and marvel at the beautiful pine clad high ceiling with a slight lime wash finish.

You walk into the bright open plan lounge with TV & DVD, kitchen space with doors opening onto the large deck. The beautiful blue grey kithen dining area is fully equipped with oven, hob, fridge and freezer ensuring you will be able to take full advantage of the excellent continental food selection available in Sweden.

Outside the deck surrounds two sides of the cottage ensuring you can worship the sun all day long. Make the most of the long Swedish summer days. The sun rises at about 3 am and just dips below the horizon at around midnight, travelling almost full circle round the sky in the process. If you are unable to sleep just sit outside and read a book!

The master bedroom has a comfortable double bed, bed side cabinet and built in wardrobes down the length of the room.

The second bedroom has a bunk bed and again, built-in wardrobe.

There is a seperate heated guests annexe with two single beds and wardrobe.

The home is surrounded by a large lawned garden ideal for games or doorway to exploring the forest at the gardens edge.
