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.

A perfect location for a fishing holiday. Permits available locally, 100 SEK/wk (2007) or 40 SEK/day (2007), boat with motor available for 200 SEK/day or without for 100 SEK/day. Catch Pike, Perch and Pike Perch. Ask us for more details.

The Garden - Terrace, table and chairs, lake and garden. The lounge door opens directly on to the veranda, ideal for dining al fresco. There are both lighting and power here. There is even a table and chairs/loungers and a BBQ for your culinary adventures. During the day you can wind down the sun shade and enjoy views across the lake. The lawned garden is large providing plenty of space for a game of badminton or football practice.

The Master Bedroom - This relaxing room overloooks the forest at the rear of the cottage. There is plenty of storage space with one wall having a fitted wardrobe. The double bed is made up of two 2' 6" matresses and uses two sets of single bed linen. The window is fitted with an adjustable fly screen to protect you from insects during the long, hot summer nights.

The Lounge - Seating capacity for 7 people, standard 21 inch television with remote control, DVD palyer, wood burner and cd player. The living area is bright and airy having a lightly washed pine clad apex ceiling and floor and large picture windows overlooking the veranda, the garden and the lake. A place of true relaxation with comfortable sofas and chairs. The coffee table is ideal for a game of cards or watch a video or DVD from home on the TV. You can explore the local radio stations or play a CD from home too. A door opens directly onto the veranda.

The Kitchen - The beautiful, modern kitchen in grey/blue is fitted with a fridge/freezer, electric fan oven, ceramic hob, kettle, coffee machine and plenty of cooking utensils. The traditional dining table seats 6 and has veiws through the large windows over the varanda and out across the lake.
