    Eine sehr gemütliche Wohnung mit vielen kleinen Extras die heutzutage nicht selbstverständlich sind. Die Vermieter sind sehr freunlich. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und werden sicherlich wiederkommen, sollten wir in der Nähe sein.

    Tyckte det var en genuin myskänsla över lägenheten. Köket var härlig rustik känsla med murad vägg, vattenrör i taket från pannrummet.

Lovely quiet town with a view of boat marina and Lake Vanern. Private yard with BBQ and fire pit. Newly renovated fresh and bright basement apartment for short and long term rental. Boat parking available on property and ramp 1 minute away. Gote Canal starts only 14 km from us for easy family cycling and quaint area Sjotorp.
We are retired and have enjoyed renting properties all over the world and now is our time to share our piece of Sweden with others. We have created an environment here that we would love to stay in. We like to stay in an area for awhile and maybe you do too so we are set up with everything you need. Most times we are on sight in the house above you and we are quiet and respectul of privacy but also enjoy getting to know our guests and sharing our love of the area if that is what you like.
Area perfect for cycling and walking and lovely beach access only a few minutes walk away. 24/7 quick mart 2 mi / grocery 5 km. Restaurants *fine dining in summer / also cafe/pizza / 2 Kayaks for hire or Canoe and associated gear. We are on the Vanern Route for cyclists.
