About this property

In the Footsteps of Astrid Lindgren—110 m² Vacation Home

Our beautiful Swedish holiday home is located on the outskirts of a picturesque Swedish village known to the locals as Trånshult. Come enjoy the stunning scenery here. Hike along our fantastic trails, bike along the quiet country roads and dirt paths through the endless forests, and—with a little luck—spot wild moose, lynx, badgers, wolverines, and other wildlife. It’s a pleasure to unwind on our lakes. <br>There are several moose safaris, the Kingdom of Glass, the archipelago on the Baltic Sea, day trips to Vimmerby, Oskarshamn, Västervik, Kalmar, Öland, or Gotland, Astrid Lindgren’s World, the Railway Museum, Nils Holgersson’s Adventure Park, and much more.<br>The hiking and biking trails in the forest around the house and in Högsby Municipality offer plenty of opportunities for recreation.<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>

Sandra und ihre Familie waren wunderbare Gäste, wie man sie sich als Gastgeberin nur wünschen kann. Sie haben mein Tomtehus mit viel Achtsamkeit und Wertschätzung behandelt und es in einem sehr gepflegten Zustand hinterlassen. Dafür bin ich von Herzen dankbar, denn in diesem kleinen Haus steckt sehr viel von meinem Herzblut. Es freut mich besonders, dass Sandra, ihr Mann, die drei Kinder und natürlich auch ihr Hund sich bei uns so wohlgefühlt und eine schöne gemeinsame Zeit verbracht haben. Der Kontakt mit der ganzen Familie war jederzeit ausgesprochen herzlich, freundlich und unkompliziert. Liebe Sandra, vielen Dank, dass ihr meine Gäste wart und das Tomtehus für eine Weile mit Leben, Kinderlachen und schönen Urlaubserinnerungen gefüllt habt. Ihr seid eine ganz besondere Familie und bei uns jederzeit von Herzen wieder willkommen. Ich würde mich sehr freuen, euch alle wiederzusehen!

Die Seele baumeln lassen

Wir haben 15 entspannende Tage im "Tomte-Haus" verbracht und die wunderbare, umliegende Natur sehr genossen. Die Vermieterin ist sehr nett und äußerst engagiert gewesen, stand uns gefühlt immer unverzüglich bei Fragen mit Rat und Tat zur Verfügung und hatte gute Vorschläge für die Freizeitgestaltung. In der fußläufigen Umgebung des Hauses ist ein kleiner, schöner See mit Badestelle. Zum Haus gehört ein großer Garten, der für Spiele genutzt werden kann (Fußball, Verstecken & Co.). Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen! :o)
