Cozy guesthouse for family or a group of friends.
We enjoyed staying with Agnetha and Jan very much. A nice cozy cottage in a quiet and secluded location and Agnetha was very helpful if you had any questions. The sauna was a highlight.

The house is ideally situated between Kalmar and Karlskrona. If you are looking for peace and quiet and have attention to detail, this is the perfect place to be.

Sawen's guest cabin with 2 apartments.
We had a lovely stay. Ane welcomed us at her nicely decorated farm. The cabins, the kitchen and the bathroom were super clean, totally equipped and in a very good shape. And Ane and her husband are simply five star hosts that care about the wellbeing of their guests.

Lovely large villa with pool in Dovreviken, Borgholm.
We were a family of 7 adults and 2 babies spending a weekend in this amazing house. The house has all the amenities you can imagine and then some. The pictures match what the place looks like. Also, super friendly hosts who were very helpful and provided quick responses. Can highly recommend to stay here!

The lake house
A really nice cabin/house in a beautiful area of Småland. For anglers like us, it was a hit. Dinghy with electric motor can be found at the house located on the shore of an excellent fishing lake Madkroken. In addition, there is access to an alluminum canoe on the smaller but super idyllic Skärsjöarna 1 km walk from the house. The host is very accommodating. Highly recommended.
