The huge and well maintained garden is the highlight of the property. There is a small motorboat, a small rowing boat and several kanoes available. We enjoyed fishing and looking for beavers.
The house itself is light and fully equipped, but some parts a bit outdated (for example upstairs shower).
The cat is very friendly.
There were some issues with the waterpump, communication was friendly and accurate.
Because the high price expectation of the house was a bit higher, but we still had a good time.

Eine gute Zeit
Nina und Bosse sind tolle Gastgeber. Sie vertrauten uns ihr Hab und Gut an und wir konnten zehn tolle Tage in Schweden genießen. Die Ausflüge mit dem Motorboot und der schwimmenden Insel auf den See waren das absolute Highlight. Das urige Haus, das liebevoll hergerichtete Anwesen, Märta, die freundliche Katze, der Obst und Gemüsegarten und die vielen Möglichkeiten unter alten Bäumen zu entspannen werden uns in lebhafter Erinnerung bleiben.
Die Vermieter war sehr Freundlich und haben uns perfekt in alles eingewiesen.
Das Haus sowie das Grundstück sind Riesig und in einem Sehr guten rustikalen Zustand !
Wir waren mit unserer Familie dort und haben sehr viel Spaß gehabt.
Der See direkt vor der Haustür mit dem kleinen Motorboot ( Absolutes Highlight der Kinder ) waren einfach wunderschön.
Uns war nie Langweilig da wir mit unseren Kindern jeden Tag was unternehmen konnten direkt am Haus.
Wer ein paar Tage entschleunigen möchte und mit den Kindern Zeit ohne TV und Internet einfach am Wasser und in der Natur verbringen möchte ist hier am
Absolut richtigen Ort !
Vielen Dank !
We have spent a great week in Nina's and Bosses house with our kids in August 21. Nina and Bosse are truly wonderful hosts: communication was perfect and they have been very supportive throughout our stay. Their home is beautiful and so well taken care of. Many places to play for the kids and a great view on the lake. We have been out fishing several times and caught pike and perch. We can only recommend this charming space!

Lovely and charming Family. Perfect Guests. Very good communication. They really took care of our home and left it in a perfect condition. Naturally we welcome them back again!
This house in southern Dalarna is a really lovely one! Although located in a quite rural area there is much to see and experience in the closer surroundings. We stayed there during Christmas and New Year and went two times to Romme Alpin for skiing. Great for children and totally friendly owners! All thumbs up.

Sweet familly with young children that spent Christmas time and New Year at our home. Everiyhing was perfekt when we returned att home. Nice guests wellcome again.!
A beautiful house in a huge garden with private beach
We spend a wonderful week in Nina’s and Bosses house. We had a very warm welcome, the communication with them was very easy and we were welcomed with a bottle of sparkling wine and some ice-cream. Nina and Bosse made us feel at home immediately. Our kids were all the time outside on the trampoline or on the private beach with surf boards, canoes and lots of toys. I couldn’t get enough of the beautiful view on the lake and enjoyed many beautiful sunsets. We also went fishing and caught some smaller fish. We also went to the cable park and public swimming lake, which we also liked a lot. The riding school close-by was unfortunately closed for holidays. We also visited Stockholm, which is an 2 hour drive away.

Charming "sparkling" familly! you are so wellcome again ;)
Wir haben mit unseren zwei Teenagern zwei wunderschöne Wochen in diesem Haus verbracht. Das Haus bietet jeden Komfort und es ist liebevoll eingerichtet, in traumhafter Lage direkt am See. Der Blick auf den See ist wunderschön, besonders bei Sonnenuntergang. Die Gartenlandschaft ist außergewöhnlich groß und hat eine private Badestelle, die mit Sand angefüllt ist. Mit den vielen Badespielequipments hatten die Kids immer reichlich Spaß, vor allem mit stand-up-paddling. Wir haben uns jeden Tag das Kanu geschnappt und haben die Zeit auf dem See genossen. Draußen kann man übrigens unter vielen Essplätzen wählen. Das Haus ist so groß, dass man sich auch als Familie nicht beengt fühlt. Die Besitzer sind sehr nett.
Erholung pur! Dieser Urlaub hat unsere Erwartungen mehr als übertroffen.

Calme et couché de soleil somptueux
Grande maison chaleureuse, parfaite pour une famille avec enfants. Les propriétaires aux petits soins nous ont permis d'utiliser canoë, etc pour profiter au maximum de cette semaine idyllique.

Une belle famille avec infants qui ont bien su s'adapter et jouir de notre maison, jardin, lac, potager, etc.. ont savouré la tranquillité et au mème temps ont su trouver des points d’intérêt et visite dans les entourages et notre région Dalarna.
Nous avons apprécié leur respect pour notre propreté, tant la maison comme le jardin et la plage. Bienvenus de nouveau quand vous voudrais!
