Historic lakeside villa with sauna, kayaks, close to ski resorts

Refurbished historic house in the idyllic Swedish lake district. Secluded but well-connected, with private access to the lake. Perfect for large family getaways, groups of friends, and peaceful romantic breaks immersed in nature.

In summer, you can sauna, barbecue and eat outdoors, swim, kayak, hike, forage, fish, and cycle. Use our 9 kayaks, rowing boat, and lifevests.

In winter, ski at family-friendly local resorts Säfsen and Romme, and get cosy in the sauna or by the fire.
