Great stay

We've been here the second time already and it was really great again! The house is nice and cosy and the lake is breathtaking (and cold 😊). We will return a third time for sure!

Schönes Häuschen in ruhiger Lage

Wir ( 2 Erwachsene und 2 Jungs 13 und 10 Jahre ) haben 1 Woche in diesem schönen und gemütlichen Haus verbracht. Die Ruhe und Lage sind unbeschreiblich. Man hat das ganze Grundstück um das Haus für sich alleine. Das Haus ist mit allem ausgestattet was man benötigt. Die Kommunikation mit Thomas war ohne Probleme und er hat innerhalb von Minuten geantwortet. Wir können diese Unterkunft uneingeschränkt empfehlen.

Sehr schön eingerichtetes Haus in idyllischer Lage

Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und die Zeit in dem sehr schön eingerichteten und gemütlichen alten Bahnwärterhäuschen sehr genossen. Die Lage ist sehr idyllisch und Toms Tipps zu Unternehmungen in der Umgebung waren sehr hilfreich.

Der perfekte Ort für Romantiker

Der Ort hat so viel Schönes zu bieten. Das Häuschen ist einfach und geschmackvoll eingerichtet und besitzt einen wunderschönen Aussenbereich mit einer gemütlichen Feuerstelle. Leider haben wir eine regnerische und kalte Woche erlebt, so dass wir Vieles nicht nutzen konnten. Immerhin ein Grund, wieder zu kommen.

Top!

Wir fanden ein sehr gepflegtes Objekt vor, das Häuschen geräumiger als wir anhand der Fotos vermutet hatten. Sehr sauber und stilvoll eingerichtet, uns fehlte es an nichts. Die Vermieter, Tom und Anja sind sehr freundliche, liebe Menschen. Mit direktem Blick zum Waldrand konnten wir Rehe und Hasen beobachten. Den wilden Elch haben wir leider verpasst, im Wald beim Blaubärensammeln jedoch seine Spuren entdeckt. Ganz in der Nähe gibt es einen Elchpark wo wir ihnen dann aber ganz nah kommen und sie sogar füttern konnten. Wir waren viel am See angeln und baden. Hierzu geht es wenige Kilometer durch den urigen Wald. Eine gute Fahrradentfernung aber auch dank gepflegter Waldwege sicher und bequem mit dem Auto zu erreichen. Den viel näher gelegenen Fluss haben wir nicht beangelt, obwohl das ebenso möglich gewesen wäre. Wir bedanken uns für einen wundervollen Schwedenurlaub und kommen gerne mal wieder bei Tom und Anja in Småland vorbei! Elisa, Stefan, Maia, Tom

Wunderbar in allen Belangen!

Ein wunderschönes, kleines Ferienhaus mit allem, was man braucht. Uns fehlte es an nichts. Besonders reizvoll für mich als Angler: die Nähe zum Fluss. Wenn ich mehr als 5 Sterne geben könnte, würde ich die an Tom Anja als Vermieter vergeben. Die beiden sind ein Glückslos. Vielen Dank für alles! :)
