Design house in nature by lake

Located in a stunning nature reserve less than 30 minutes from Stockholm’s city center, this is a Nordic midsummer night’s dream come true. Located on a hillside surrounded by trees, nearly 5km2 of privacy and a 5-minute walk to the lake. Highlights: space and privacy for both adults and kids; outdoor wood-fired hot tub and two indoor fireplaces; 5 minutes to local stores; private parking; ping pong; exercise equipment; fire pit; garden; BBQ. Luxury living in the forest! The space Outdoors The outdoor space starts with a huge terrace with plenty of lounge areas, dining, grilling and a wood-fired hot tub. The ping pong table doubles as a dining table. A spin bike and exercise equipment (weights and yoga mat) are available to use. The deck is suitable for both winter and summer with the various spaces and fireplaces. The back gardens include a fire pit campfire style. There is an apple tree growing by the house. In the surrounding forest, blueberries and mushrooms are everywhere. Beyond the fence (which keeps out wandering deer), there’s a small seating area under the trees. Indoors The interior of the home is in two main modules—the main house and a semi-attached cottage house. The main house includes a bedroom with a 140cm full bed (if two people are sleeping, it’s best for couples or younger children) and a 90cm sized sofa bed suitable for one person. You’re welcome to enjoy the book and games library—including both board games and a PS4. Across the hall is one of the bathrooms—with this one including a large bathtub and shower connected to the main water tank. The living and dining area is beautifully flooded with light all year round. The kitchen is equipped with stove, microwave, water boilers and various cooking utensils. The living area invites for lounging with friends or family with a large fireplace. Just across the deck, is a large bedroom with an en-suite bathroom. The bathroom provides laundry facilities and a walk in shower—note this shower is connected to a separate small water tank with hot water limited to around 15 minutes at full heat. You have plenty of privacy to relax or lounge in this private building with a large king bed, Nespresso machine and eco-friendly fireplace (bioethanol). Wi-if is available throughout the house. Getting here is easiest by car, but there is a bus stop at the end of the road if you prefer public transport. Guest access Guests have access to the entire home. There is a locked storage unit near the parking lot which is not part of the living space. As this is a permanent home, closet space is limited to guest specific shelves and clothing racks. In the kitchen, we clear several shelves and provide baskets for pantry items, as well as a clear fridge. The kitchen has basic amenities for your first couple of days such as tea, coffee and some spices which guests are welcome to use—but kindly requested to replace if opened/consumed. We also have a small garden with potatoes, tomatoes, berries, herbs, rhubarb and more. Depending on the season, we will give you a list of items guests are free to harvest in small amounts. If you have a green thumb and want to weed or water, let us know! Other things to note One basket of firewood is included with your stay, as well as one bottle of bioethanol for the eco bedroom fireplace. If you’d like to purchase wood specifically for use of the wood fired hot-tub, let us know. Sheets and towels are included, as well as cleaning supplies for dishes, laundry and general. We also have bicycles available to rent on request. If you are staying June-August for more than a week, we kindly ask that you water the garden if the weather is dry. Alternatively, let us know and we’ll arrange for someone to pop by to water it. If you are staying during November-March, please note there is a strong chance of snow! If you have a car, you must rent one with snow tires for safety and ease of parking. As you will have the entire property for yourselves, snow shovels, brooms and gravel are provided. We will clear the parking lot, stairs and path on the deck in advance of your visit but you may need to clear it if weather brings more snow! For holiday stays December-January, the house has some Christmas decorations and a tree on the deck! We also have hooks for stockings by the fireplace if you celebrate here.
