Firewood is free to use if available, but at times run out--however, the main mini-supermarket in Stöten centre sells suitable firewood. Our firewood for use is behind the ski-prep house (within reasonable limits) for comfort and extra heating from the soap-stone stove, while not necessary because of the central and underfloor heating. Please note that the stove can get very hot, so only use a 2-3 logs at a time. It will keep its heat for several hours. (Pls do not use wood from the other storage in front of the house, it is not dry enough.) Fireplace tools to be used for, e.g., cleaning the stove are available at the right-hand side of the ski-prep house. (The tool set is kept there to avoid children from hurting themselves or the interior of the chalet with the sharp and dirty parts of the tools.)

The house has central heating (set to maintain 21 degrees Celsius) and underfloor heating in several areas. (Please do not alter these settings, thanks.) You clean the houses after your stay. This includes also to do the dishes, put the sofa bed together again, make all the beds including bedspreads and pillows, remove ashes and garbage (incl bottles and foodstuff), and make sure the premises and the ski-storage house look nice. You are responsible for clearing the parking place and the two entrances to the chalet and the one to the ski-storage house of snow. You may use the shovels in and outside the ski-storing house as well as the broom by the main entrance. (Plowing of the road to the house is of course arranged for.) Concerning ski rentals, we usually rent skis at Kaiser, located right at the centre of Stöten. If you want cheaper options, there are several but then quite some distance away. E g, if you come from the south of Sweden, you pass by Skidhuset, but that's perhaps 50 km or more away from Stöten and on slow roads. If you have a baby/small child, you may consider to rent a proper mountain sledge for going cross-country with the baby/child behind in the cosy sledge. That's pretty cool and we've done it with both our kids when they were really small. Usually Kaiser have such sleighs for rental. Getting here, is easy by car or by flight to the new Scandinavian Mountains Airport (opening date 22 December 2019), with flights from several national and international airports. *** Want to book a visit further on? *** We'll release the available dates for the summer in mid-February and for the next winter-season in mid-July. *** Some of the recent improvements in the cabin *** Apple-TV; electric egg beater; Mocca Master coffee brewer; Handheld 2-in-1 Electrolux Ergorapido vacuum cleaner; etc.
