Vacation Rental Description
NEW - Freeview digital TV reception. Open Canoe available for guests use plus DVD's and board games too!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.
Being only 30 metres away from Stor Sjo Lake and swimming, drainage is provided by the modern version of a reed bed ensuring no polution enters either the lake or the water table.
The raised sundeck wraps around two sides of the cottage, which with garden furniture & BBQ is perfect for dining al-fresco. 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 and wardrobe and a travel cot this is just wonderful for families or couples wanting a quiet, romantic retreat. The large lawned garden offers plenty of space for garden games or a gateway to explore the forest behind.
The light and airy lounge has two sofas, an easy chair and TV with Freeview digital TV reception plus DVD player for playback of DVD's from home or choose one from the small library of family DVD's. There's even a radio and CD player too.

Owners Profile
Loved it so much we stayed.
Steve was lucky enough to live in the area when he was a boy. With a family of his own and now living in the UK the whole family fell in love with Stor Sjö and the Gästrickland region.
We love that the cottage is under 2 hrs drive from the airport making the whole journey so quick for us from the UK.
When we visit we have to call ahead and book a table at Whalströms Fiske Krog, 45 min drive from the cottage. It is just the best fish resuarant on the planet. All fish is caught locally and catering for a gluten free diet is easy for them too.
One of our favourite chill-out spots is Högobo Country Park, 30 min drive away. A walk round the lake and a coffee in the very old and traditional log built coffe shop is wonderful.
To pretend we're in the south of France we spend a few hours on Årsunda beach (15 min drive or an hours paddle in our canoe). It must be a mile long and golden sand but with fresh water and not the salty kind. In fact the lake the cottage is on (and this beach) is supposed to be the third warmest in Sweden. Certainly never found it cold in the summer months.
The first real experience our kids had of snow was a February in the cottage. If you want a winter wonderland but aren't the downhill skiing kind then February/March is a must
We love it and hope you will too.
