Cabin

Our picturesque Swedish holiday cottage is peacefully situated on the edge of the forest and among the lakes. You can step right into nature: go hiking in the woods, canoeing on one of the countless lakes, or take a refreshing dip in the clear water. With a bit of luck, you might even spot a moose – we already saw one from our kitchen! The cottage is located in a popular holiday area with several cottages, so you can enjoy the tranquility of nature without being completely isolated.

Very cosy cabin, surrounded by forest by a lake - great! The cabin has everything you need, it was clean and quiet. However, the steep staircase without a handrail and the beams running across the floor and ceiling require increased attention ;-)

Cozy log cabin
LikedA cozy wooden cabin equipped with all the amenities, a beautiful view of a small lake, and friendly hosts. We spent a lot of time sitting and playing outside, and slept well. The cabin was clean.
DislikedThe location offers beautiful views, but you can clearly hear traffic from the nearby road. There are other cottages a few dozen meters away, some in better condition than others. The log cabin itself is still undergoing renovations, so the quality of the finish varies but is acceptable. The stairs are steep, so be careful with children and the elderly.

LikedThe two of us stayed at this beautiful house for two nights and thoroughly enjoyed our short stay. The house is idyllically situated on the edge of the forest, with a lovely view through the trees of a small lake. Built entirely of wood, comfortably furnished, and clean—it’s just the right mix of tranquility, nature, and Swedish charm. There are a few minor things that could perhaps be improved, but that didn’t bother us at all. For us, the coziness, the special atmosphere, and the charm of the house clearly outweighed any minor issues. We’d come back anytime!

We had a lovely few days. The cottage was a bit cramped or on the small side at times, but it was fully equipped and tidy.

An OK stay, but it doesn’t quite live up to expectations
LikedThe cottage has a lovely feel to it, with a lovely spot by the garden and a view of the trees. I’ve only read positive reviews here, so I’d like to offer a few critical comments to balance things out.
DislikedThere are two bedrooms in the cottage itself. The one with the double bed was fine. However, the room with the two single beds is actually unsuitable for sleeping in. The beds are positioned against the sloping roof (there’s no photo of that either), which means you can’t lie down properly. That was the biggest let-down. What’s more, the cottage is situated quite close to the main road between Malung and Mora, and the traffic is very audible, especially on windless days. So we didn’t really have a proper ‘In the Woods’ experience there. Finally, there were lots of little things that weren’t very practical. For example, there wasn’t a hook in the bathroom to hang your towel on. Quite odd.

A very quiet, simple and peaceful place to stay, right in the heart of nature. Just sitting at the back of the cottage, with the pine forest, the evening light and the pond right before my eyes, was magical! There were two of us adults staying there and it worked out fine, but given the steep stairs, we reckoned it wouldn’t be ideal for families with young children. Or, of course, you could have stayed in the little cottage instead.

We felt very much at home in the log cabin, which is superbly equipped. The location is absolutely brilliant and the view of the forest from the veranda is simply perfect.

A good, well-appointed stuga. The loft bedroom with two single beds has a low ceiling, so I would mainly recommend it for children. Adults might find it a bit cramped.

The location is really peaceful with the luxury of waking up in the woods with a cute little pond. With a small cabin in the backyard as well. Perfect accomodation to enjoy the nature.

We felt right at home at Joep’s place straight away. It’s cosily furnished and has everything you need! During our stay, we went on lots of walks, and when the weather was bad, we were able to relax on the sofa and read. We particularly liked the location of the accommodation and the living room. We’d come back any time!

A lovely stuga and a lovely area. Unfortunately, there were a few problems with mice, resulting in mouse droppings scattered around the cottage. We booked this stuga because of the extra beds in the small cottage next door, but unfortunately it was too cold to sleep there despite having the radiator on for 1–2 days.

Very pretty cabin in the forest, well laid out. Extremely quiet spot. The children were able to enjoy a huge outdoor space and pick blueberries. As the location is out of the way, it is advisable to have a vehicle.

Nice cabin with veranda looking out on a beautiful little lake out back. Great calm stay for a necessary recharge! P.S. cottage is less suitable for tall people.

Upon arrival, we had expected a different setting. It actually gave us the feeling of being at a trailer park. The photos don’t quite match the actual experience of the location. As a cabin or hut, it’s a great place to stay with all the amenities you need. However, the close proximity to neighbors and the noise from the road meant it didn’t feel like a cabin in the woods to us. We thoroughly enjoyed the variety of birds in the wooded area behind the house.

It’s actually a nice cabin in the woods, but it has a lot of room for improvement. When we arrived, the cabin was unfortunately so dirty that we had to vacuum and wipe down the surfaces first. We were able to use the washing machine, but unfortunately there was no way to dry or hang up the laundry. When we asked about it, we were told that they would take care of it for the next guests. The cabin looks much older/more worn out than in the pictures, and some repairs are needed. We were provided with half a roll of toilet paper for two people for two nights, which was nowhere near enough. (no spare roll available)

We really enjoyed our stay there; the booking process was quick and straightforward, and Joep is very helpful. Shops are a 10-minute drive away. It was lovely; we’ll definitely be back.

What a brilliant place – far enough away from civilisation to enjoy nature, yet close enough to easily do all your shopping and so on. We had a lovely week and, although the days were short, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Even at -15, the cottage was so cosy! Joep always replied quickly and kindly – a Superhost with a brilliant cottage.

A really cosy cottage out in the woods, set in incredibly beautiful surroundings with a lake nearby and a blueberry forest right on the doorstep. It’s in a peaceful area, so it’s perfect for couples or families with children.

A delightful and cozy house with comfortable beds. Bedding and towels were provided. The kitchen was well-equipped with dishes and pots. It's worth remembering to bring some spices and salt, as these were missing. There's a lawn available where children can play. The house is located right next to a forest rich in blueberries. It's just a few hundred meters from a lake with a small pier and very pleasant water. Note that the lake gets deep quickly without a gradual entry. The location is great for nature lovers. However, it's advisable to bring some insect repellent, as midges can be bothersome in the evening. Overall, a great place for a relaxing getaway, perfect for families and those seeking a peaceful retreat in nature.

Beau chalet scandinave tout en bois, bien aménagé dans un bel environnement naturel. Hôtes attentifs et à l'écoute. L'alcôve à deux lits est un peu exiguë pour des adultes.
