Swap the grey skies for Swedish lakeside tranquillity. Our traditional red cottage offers the perfect escape from British weather – complete with your own motorboat, wild beaver watching, and genuine Scandinavian wilderness just a short flight from the UK.
The Perfect Swedish Retreat
Nestled on a quiet lake in Västmanland, our classic Falu red cottage delivers everything you’d expect from a Swedish countryside holiday. The iconic red exterior, traditional wooden construction, and pristine natural setting create an authentic Nordic experience that feels worlds away from everyday life.
Your Own Motorboat Adventure
The cabin includes a motorboat with both a 4-stroke engine and silent electric trolling motor. Explore the lake at your leisure – fish for pike and perch, discover hidden coves, or simply drift along the shoreline watching for wildlife. No boat licence required for these calm inland waters.
Wild Beaver Safari at Dusk
As evening falls, take the boat out with the whisper-quiet electric motor and watch wild European beavers emerge from their lodges. These fascinating creatures have made a remarkable comeback in Swedish waters, and our lake offers excellent viewing opportunities. Bring your camera – the golden hour light is spectacular.
Modern Comforts in the Wilderness
While the setting is traditional, the amenities are thoroughly modern. Air conditioning keeps you comfortable during warm summer days – a genuine luxury in Swedish accommodation. Ultra-fast 500 Mbit/s fibre broadband means you can stay connected when needed. A projector provides evening entertainment after days on the water.
Easy Connections from the UK
Stockholm Arlanda is well-served by direct flights from London, Manchester, Edinburgh, and other UK airports. From the airport, the cabin is approximately 2 hours by hire car through beautiful Swedish countryside. Self-check-in via keypad code allows flexible arrival times – perfect if your flight arrives late.
Explore the Swedish Countryside
Visit Kolarbyn Eco-Lodge (45 minutes), often called Sweden’s most primitive hotel – charcoal burner huts nestled into the forest hillside. Join a professional moose safari to spot the king of the Scandinavian forest. Discover the sandy swimming beach just 5 minutes away.
Perfect for couples or small groups of 2-4 guests seeking a genuine Swedish wilderness experience.
