There are various seating areas on different levels around the house, as well as a private fire pit, a grill and a hammock. Indoors and outdoors – Swedish nature is always right there around you. Chanterelles are often found right in front of the house between July and October. Hiking trails through beautiful Scandinavian forest – full of mushrooms and blueberries in the summer – start from the house. A rowboat on the idyllic lake can be used on request. ___________________ LIVING AND SLEEPING Even from the bed, there is a wonderful view of the lake and the surrounding nature, and those who want can let the sun's rays wake them up on their faces. The modern kitchen is fully equipped with a dishwasher, oven with microwave function, induction stove and fridge/freezer, among other things, and is ready for relaxing cooking experiences after a day in nature. Everything you need to make coffee and tea is provided, and both coffee and tea are free to use. The bathroom has a sauna with a view of the open landscape, underfloor heating and a walk-in rain shower. The house has Wi-Fi and a stereo sound system to also enhance the living experience with sound. Bed linens, towels and firewood are included. ___________________ THE OUTDOOR AREA The outdoor area features a spacious wooden veranda that offers the best option for each time of day: in the morning, facing east for breakfast; during the day, facing the lake, where you can watch the sunset in the evenings in summer. In addition, there is a small lookout rock of its own with seating and a fire pit, as well as hammocks between the surrounding trees. A Weber grill is provided. ___________________ THE REGION The area offers an infinite number of exciting excursion destinations: Located right on the border between Bohuslän and Dalsland, what is perhaps the best of Swedish nature is close by: the breathtaking west coast with its fjords, thousands of islands and picturesque coastal towns (Bohuslän), and the deep forest and lake landscape of Dalsland. Dozens of nature reserves are nearby, and both lovers of the coast and lovers of forests and lakes can enjoy everything they could wish for on a vacation. Famous coastal towns in Bohuslän, such as Smögen, Fjällbacka, Hunnebostrand, Lysekil and Grebbestad, can be reached in about 40-50 minutes. It takes 60-80 minutes to get to the well-known towns of Bengtsfors, Billingsfors, Ed and Dals Långed, which are located in the heart of Dalsland, as well as the famous Dalsland Canal. ___________________ ACTIVITIES ----- Special information for winter ---- The accommodation is located at a slightly higher elevation and thus in an area where there is often snow in winter. This makes it possible to engage in typical winter activities: Cross-country skiing: About 10 minutes away from the property, there is a network of cross-country ski trails that can be used for free in winter when there is snow. One of the loops is illuminated. The trails run through beautiful Swedish winter forests! Snowshoeing: We rent out snowshoes that you can use to explore the forests on foot. Ice skating: The lake in front of the house is very often frozen in winter and can be walked on after checking the thickness of the ice. Then you can go ice skating here (or even ice fishing!) Ice bathing: At the lake, residents often keep an ice hole clear for ice swimming right by the dock. Of course, our guests can also use it. ------------------------------- Swimming: In the lake in front of the house: a few minutes' walk At the beach (salt water): about 15 min. by car Hiking, mushrooms and berries: From the front door. Other well-known hiking trails are nearby (e.g. Bohusleden, about 10 min. by car). Fishing: For salmon in the excellent Örekilälven River, about 12 minutes by car For sea trout and mackerel, 15 min. or more by car For pike, perch and pike-perch in various lakes in the area Paddle out: Canoeing, kayaking: In various lakes, from 12 min. away by car Sea kayaking: In the fjord, from 15 min. by car; on the open archipelago coast, from 35 min. by car All those who love peace and quiet, nature lovers, hikers, cross-country skiers, anglers, paddlers, climbers and mushroom pickers will get their money's worth here. And also those who like things a bit more sophisticated: Oslo and Gothenburg are about 2 and 1 hour's drive away, respectively. Shops and the train station can be reached in about 10 minutes by car. A transfer to the train station can be arranged by appointment. ___________________ EXTRAS 2 sea kayaks and 1 Canadian canoe can be rented on site at a reasonable price, along with a roof rack – hundreds of miles of coastline and dozens of lakes are waiting to be explored! The landlords are nearby and are always available for questions and excursion tips when needed, and they prepare breakfast on request. ___________________ If you have any questions of any kind, please just write to us. We are very quick to respond. Guest access The immediate surroundings of the guest house, including hammock and fireplace, are exclusively available to you. The nearby forest with many small hiking trails can be freely explored thanks to the Swedish right of public access. The lake including bathing area and jetty is accessible. Other things to note Our property is located in a quiet and peaceful environment, far from the everyday noises of the city. We ourselves live on the extensive property with our children and a charming group of chickens (who are happy to share their eggs!). Our own house is located some distance from the guest house, and outside, you can occasionally experience the charming but always understated backdrop of Swedish family life in the countryside :) In winter: Please ensure that the car has winter tires for your arrival and departure (rental cars are rented with them as standard). Except in a few cases, the road is usually very easy to drive on.
