2-Bed Mountain Cabin with Loft & Expansive Plot in Ljungdalen, Sweden

Step outside on a July morning and the air smells like pine resin and cold saltwater. The bay below Notsand catches the early light in that particular way it only does on the High Coast — glassy, silver-pink, utterly still except for a cormorant cutting low across the surface. You're standing on Swedish granite that's been rising out of the sea for ten thousand years, still climbing a few millimetres every century, and somehow this small house from 1946 has a front-row seat to all of it. Notsand sits along one of the more quietly kept stretches of Västernorrland's coastline, roughly seven kilometres from the centre of Härnösand. The road in takes you past spruce forest and meadows that in late June fill up with lupins, then suddenly you're above the water, looking out at the archipelago islands scattered across the Bothnian Sea. The property at Notsand 130 occupies a 1,533-square-metre plot where the tree line gives way to open rock and open sky. It's genuinely rare to find this combination — a buildable private plot, mature trees at the back, and an uninterrupted water view from the living room windows — at this price point anywhere on the High Coast. Inside, the house is compact and honest. Sixty-one square metres, two bedrooms, one bathroom. Built in 1946 with the solid post-war Scandinavian sensibility that valued simplicity and durability over flourish. The main living and dining space faces the water, and the windows are generous enough that you're never not aware of the sea. On grey November afternoons the bay goes the colour of pewter and the pines creak in the wind — it's atmospheric in a way that a lot of coastal properties never quite achieve. In summer, the same room catches evening light well past nine o'c ... click here to read more

Early July morning. You push open the glazed veranda door and the birch forest breathes cool air straight into the kitchen. Somewhere across the water, a loon calls. The wood stove still holds last night's warmth. This is what mornings at Morhagsvägen 70 & 72 actually feel like — and once you've had a few of them, going back to the city gets harder every time. Sunnansjö sits in the Ludvika municipality of Dalarna, one of Sweden's most storied provinces, and this particular corner of it rewards the people who find it. The property sits in Morhagen, a small lakeshore community right on the edge of Lake Väsman — a deep, clean glacial lake that locals have been swimming, fishing, and paddling on for generations. The house itself is compact and well-kept, around 40 square metres, but the land it comes with is anything but small. Two separate cadastral plots — Sunnansjö 108:24 at 1,643 sqm and Sunnansjö 108:25 at 1,553 sqm — combine for just over 3,196 sqm of mixed lawn and natural woodland. That's a lot of Sweden to call your own. The cottage is designed with the kind of honest practicality that Scandinavian summer houses do best. Open-plan living room and kitchen keep things social — you're never marooned in a separate room while everyone else is talking. A wood-burning stove anchors the living area, and on grey October afternoons when the light drops early and the forest goes quiet, it earns its place completely. The bedroom is comfortable and private, and the bathroom comes with an eco-friendly incineration toilet — sensible for a property this size in this setting, and entirely maintenance-friendly for owners who aren't here every week. The glazed veranda is where you'll spend most of your waking hours. Facing out towa ... click here to read more

Step out onto the terrace on a July morning and the fjord is right there — silver-grey and glassy before the wind picks up, with the faint chug of a fishing boat rounding the headland. That's Kolvik at 7am in summer. By 9am, someone's already swimming off the rocks at the community beach. By noon, the smell of grilled fish drifts through the garden from three different directions. This is the rhythm of life at Kolvik 757, and it doesn't take long before you'd trade almost anything to make it yours permanently. Sitting just 150 meters from the edge of Gullmarsfjorden — one of Sweden's deepest fjords and one of the most quietly dramatic stretches of the Bohuslän coast — this two-bedroom holiday home sits on an elevated plot that gives it a view most coastal properties in this price bracket simply can't match. The fjord is always in your eyeline. Morning coffee on the terrace, afternoon reading on the balcony off the second bedroom, evening drinks as the light turns amber over the water. The position alone is worth the trip out to see it. The house itself is 73 square meters of honest, functional Swedish summer home. It's in good condition, though it carries the personality of a place lived in for decades rather than staged for photographs. The kitchen has a serving hatch that opens into the living room — a small detail that tells you everything about how this house was designed to be used: sociably, casually, with kids running between rooms and someone always half-involved in the cooking. The living room has proper space for a sofa group and a dining table, which matters when you're planning to pack the place with family in August. Sliding out from the living room, the large terrace and balcony take over as the main liv ... click here to read more

Step outside on a January morning and the cross-country ski trail is right there — literally at the edge of the property. No driving to a trailhead, no fighting for parking at the ski center. You clip into your skis, push off into the blue-white silence of Jämtland's hill country, and the day belongs entirely to you. That's the daily reality at Fingerörtstigen 6 in Klövsjö/Storhogna, and it's the kind of thing that's almost impossible to put a price on. This is a well-kept, 67-square-meter holiday house on a generous 1,506-square-meter plot in one of central Sweden's most beloved mountain communities. Built in 2001, it sits in Bergs municipality — part of the greater Härjedalen-Jämtland high-country corridor that Swedes and an increasingly international crowd have quietly treasured for decades. The house is in good condition and genuinely move-in ready, which matters when you're buying from abroad and can't spend your first season knee-deep in renovation dust. The layout is compact but genuinely clever. Two bedrooms, one bathroom, and a living room that manages to feel like the center of gravity rather than an afterthought. Large windows pull the outside in — snow-draped spruce trees in winter, a green hillside haze in July, the burnt orange of birch leaves come late September. The kitchen is fully equipped and connects naturally to the dining area, so whoever's cooking doesn't get exiled from the conversation. For a family of four or a group of close friends, this works. Really works. Outside, the plot is what sets this property apart from the tighter holiday cabins that dominate this market. 1,506 square meters is room to breathe. There's space for a proper summer table and chairs with enough distance from the neigh ... click here to read more

Step outside on a September morning and the air hits you — sharp, clean, carrying the faint scent of pine resin and something faintly mineral from the Vindel River less than a kilometre away. The birches are turning. A pair of cranes cuts across a sky that seems impossibly wide up here. This is Sorsele, deep in Swedish Lapland, and life at Stridsmark 133 moves at a pace that most people have forgotten is possible. The house itself was built in 1949, and it carries that era's sensibility honestly — solid, no-nonsense, built to handle winters that dip well below minus twenty without complaint. The main structure covers 84 square metres with an additional 24 square metres of secondary space, useful for storing skis, fishing rods, canoes, or whatever gear your version of Lapland life requires. The plot runs to 1,400 square metres, which out here doesn't feel like a garden so much as a small piece of the Swedish wilderness you actually own. Inside, large windows make the most of the light — and in July, when the sun barely sets, that matters enormously. The rooms are well-proportioned and functional, the kind of space that invites people to actually use it rather than just admire it. The kitchen is set up for real cooking: think elk stew simmering after a day out, or lingonberry jam made from berries picked on your own land. The single bedroom is quiet. Properly quiet. The bathroom is maintained and fully operational. Everything here is in good condition and ready to use from day one. The 1,400 square metre plot deserves its own paragraph. Part of it is lawn, part wild, and there's room to expand a kitchen garden, add a wood-fired hot tub, or simply leave it as the deer corridor it already seems to be. Evenings on the plot ... click here to read more

Step outside on a September morning and the air already carries that particular Swedish sharpness — pine resin, damp grass, the faint mineral smell of river water drifting up from Andersboviken bay. From the wooden deck off the kitchen at Nystrand 102, you can watch mist lift off the Dalälven in slow ribbons while your coffee goes from steaming to warm. This is not a postcard. This is a Tuesday. Built in the 1700s and carefully updated without losing its bones, this two-bedroom year-round holiday home sits on a quiet stretch of Hällnäset in Tärnsjö, Heby kommun — roughly two hours north of Stockholm, close enough for a Friday afternoon getaway but far enough that you actually exhale when you arrive. At 54 square metres, the house is compact and deliberate. Nothing wasted. Every room earns its space. Inside, large windows in the living room pull in the landscape like a painting you never get tired of. The light changes with the seasons — the flat silver of February, the almost violent green of June, the amber that sweeps through in October and makes even an ordinary afternoon feel cinematic. The kitchen is genuinely usable: room for a full dining table, proper counter space, and the kind of layout where multiple people can cook without getting in each other's way. The bathroom has a modern shower cabin and an incineration toilet — a practical, odour-free solution that is completely standard in Swedish countryside properties and requires no septic system maintenance. Water comes from a drilled well. Fibre internet is already connected. You can run a video call, stream a film, or work a full remote day without compromise. The plot covers about 2,855 square metres. That is a meaningful amount of land — space for a proper ... click here to read more

The alarm doesn't wake you here. What does is the sound of water lapping 150 meters from your bedroom window, and the particular quiet of a Swedish morning before the rest of the world catches up. That's life at Nällsta 12, a two-bedroom cottage sitting on a generous 1,425 square meter plot in Stallarholmen, one of those unhurried lakeside communities along Lake Mälaren that Swedes tend to keep to themselves. Lake Mälaren is not a small lake. It stretches roughly 120 kilometers west of Stockholm, and on a clear July afternoon from your wooden deck, the water holds a kind of flat silver light that makes you want to pour a second coffee and stay put. This is Sweden's third-largest lake, dotted with islands, historic manor houses, and the kind of fishing that calls for an early start and a thermos. Your boat berth comes with the property — direct access to all of it. You can motor out to a quiet inlet by nine in the morning and not see another soul. The cottage itself, built in 1970, sits in good condition and is ready to move in and use as-is. At 51 square meters, the main house is compact and honest about what it is: a proper Swedish sommarstuga, a summer cottage built for the season that Swedes genuinely live for. The living room opens through to a spacious timber deck — the kind of outdoor space that becomes the real living room from May through September. Large windows pull daylight deep into the interior, and the mature trees on the plot cast the kind of dappled afternoon shade that no architect can actually design. Two bedrooms handle a small family or a rotating cast of weekend guests comfortably. The kitchen is functional and practical, the shower room and separate WC (fitted with a Separett composting toilet, wh ... click here to read more

Step outside on a July morning and the air smells like pine resin and wet grass. The only sounds are a woodpecker working through a birch somewhere in the tree line, and the faint creak of the terrace boards under your feet as you carry your coffee out to watch the mist burn off the fields. This is Skånstorp Höjden 123. It's not a postcard version of Swedish countryside life — it's the real thing. Set on a private road in Hällestad, within Finspångs kommun in the heart of Östergötland, this two-bedroom country cottage sits on a 787 square meter plot where the garden ends and the forest begins almost without you noticing. The transition is that gradual. Mature plantings, raised vegetable beds, flower borders in full bloom through summer — the current owners have spent years shaping a garden that feels intentional without feeling formal. There's a greenhouse for starting seedlings in April when the ground is still cold, and an outdoor shower tucked to one side for rinsing off after a swim. The swim, by the way, is at Stigstorpsgölen — a quiet lake just 1.4 kilometers down the track. No beach bars, no paddleboard rental kiosks. Just clear water, dragonflies, and the occasional family of ducks. In August, the surrounding forest floor fills with chanterelles. Locals who know where to look come back with bags full. Lingonberries follow in September, and the forest takes on that particular amber-and-rust quality that makes Östergötland feel almost theatrical in autumn. At 70 square meters, the cottage doesn't try to be more than it is. Three adaptable rooms, a kitchen and dining area that flow into the main living space, and large windows that bring the outside in rather than shutting it out. The wood-burning stove is the he ... click here to read more

The wood-burning stove is already crackling when you pull off your boots. Outside, the spruce trees are loaded with fresh snow, the thermometer reads minus twelve, and you genuinely don't care—because the sauna is heating up, there's elk stew on the 2020-renovated kitchen stove, and the snowmobile trails start practically at the garden gate. This is what owning a cabin in Fjällbyn actually feels like. Sitting at Fjällbyn 147 in Föllinge, deep in Jämtland's Krokom municipality, this two-bedroom cabin with a loft and a separate sauna building is one of those properties that works hard in every season. Sixty square metres of living space sounds compact until you step inside and realise how the open-plan layout, generous ceiling height, and connecting loft make the place feel considerably larger. The large windows pull the surrounding forest right into the room, so the view changes daily—bare birch branches in October, a solid white blanket by December, and by late June, a rolling green that goes on forever. Seven hundred metres separates the front door from Åkersjön lake. Walk it in under ten minutes on a summer morning and you're at the water's edge before the mist has fully lifted. Åkersjön is one of those Jämtland lakes that feels genuinely wild—good Arctic char fishing, calm paddling water, and a shoreline where you can swim without another person in sight. Locals drive up from Östersund specifically for the pike fishing in early autumn. In winter, the lake freezes hard and becomes part of the snowmobile network that links Fjällbyn to the broader Jämtland trail system, hundreds of kilometres of marked routes that connect to Strömsund, Åre, and beyond. Speaking of Åre—Sweden's most celebrated mountain resort sits with ... click here to read more

Six o'clock on a July morning and the light here is already gold. You push open the kitchen window and catch the faint salt-and-pine smell drifting up from the water at Räfsnäs, just five minutes down the track on foot. The coffee is on. Somewhere across the garden, a wood pigeon is doing what wood pigeons do. This is Bokenäs — and if you've never spent a summer on this stretch of the Bohuslän coast, you're in for a genuine revelation. Hjalmars väg 5 sits on a southwest-facing plot in the Eriksberg neighborhood, a quietly sought-after pocket of Uddevalla municipality where most houses go dark from September to May and come magnificently alive in June. The property dates from the 1930s and carries that era's unhurried sensibility: proper rooms with real proportions, large windows that pull the garden indoors, and the kind of robust timber construction that has laughed off nine decades of Swedish winters without drama. Three bedrooms, two living rooms, one bathroom — 76 square meters of main house that feels bigger than the number suggests, partly because of those windows and partly because the layout was designed for actual living, not a floor-plan brochure. The garden is the heart of everything. Southwest aspect means sun from late morning until the evenings go rose-pink around ten o'clock in high summer. There's room for a long table under the trees, a hammock, a patch for growing tomatoes that never quite ripen but you keep trying anyway, and enough grass for children to run themselves properly tired. The guest cottage — a simple, functional annex on the same plot — handles the overflow when friends arrive, which they will, repeatedly, once word gets out you have this place. The share in the local community associat ... click here to read more

The first thing you notice on a summer morning here is the silence — then, slowly, the birdsong fills it. Standing on the front deck of this 89-square-metre house in Norra Rörvik, coffee in hand, the only interruption is the occasional creak of a boat rope from the jetty at the bottom of the path. That jetty is a two-minute walk away. This is the kind of detail that changes how you spend your summers. Set on an elevated 2,010-square-metre plot at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac on Höjdviksvägen, the house sits above its neighbours just enough to offer a sweep of the surrounding landscape without sacrificing the sense of being tucked into the trees. The elevated position isn't just about views — it means genuine privacy, the sort that's hard to find anywhere near the Stockholm archipelago without spending twice as much. The interior is honest and well thought out. The open-plan living room and kitchen work together naturally — large windows pull the outside in, and on a clear day the light bounces around the room from mid-morning well into the evening. It's a space that works for a rainy October evening with board games and candles just as well as it does for a noisy midsummer dinner. The kitchen is properly equipped, not a weekend afterthought, and the dining area has room to seat a full table of guests without anyone bumping elbows. Three bedrooms cover the practical range: one genuine double room, and two smaller rooms that flex depending on who's visiting — kids, grandparents, a friend who always stays "just one night" and ends up staying three. One bathroom with a shower and a separett eco-toilet keeps things functional and low-maintenance, which matters when you're not living here full-time. And then there's the sa ... click here to read more

You wake up on a Saturday morning in July, coffee in hand, and step out onto the covered veranda. The air smells of cut grass and pine. Somewhere down the lane, a neighbour is dragging a kayak toward the water. The sea is 850 metres away. You could be there in ten minutes — or you could sit right here, do absolutely nothing, and count that as a perfect morning too. That's the particular pleasure of this two-bedroom holiday home at Björnösund södra 2G in Norrtälje. It's not trying to impress you. It just quietly delivers everything that makes a Swedish summer house worth having. The property sits on a generous 2,032-square-metre plot that feels like it belongs to another era — mature fruit trees, thick hedging that keeps the outside world outside, wide lawns that are made for barefoot afternoons and long Midsummer evenings. The main house comes in at 77 square metres, which sounds modest until you're actually in it and realise the open-plan kitchen and living room have been arranged in a way that makes the space work harder than its footprint suggests. There's a dining area, a proper sofa corner, and a fireplace that becomes the gravitational centre of the room the moment October rolls in and the archipelago wind picks up. A set of doors leads straight off the living room onto the veranda — covered, so you can eat outside even when the weather is being difficult, which in this part of Sweden it occasionally is. Two bedrooms in the main house, a full bathroom with shower, and then the real surprise: a large family room that can be split into one or two additional sleeping spaces depending on how many people you've invited for the weekend. And you will invite people. That's the thing about a place like this — the layout ... click here to read more

Early July, seven in the morning. You slide open the door to the south-facing terrace with a mug of coffee, and the only sound is wind moving through mature birch trees at the edge of your 844-square-meter garden. In ten minutes, you can be standing barefoot on the sandy beach at Årsta Havsbad's bathing area, watching kayakers cut across the water toward the outer archipelago. This is not a fantasy—it's a Tuesday. Sitting on Arkitektvägen in Haninge municipality, about 30 kilometers south of Stockholm's center, this 1952-built single-storey house with basement is exactly the kind of find that locals talk about quietly among themselves. Small, honest, and genuinely good—43 square meters of considered living space that makes you rethink how much room you actually need when the outdoors is this close. The layout keeps things simple, which is part of the appeal. An open-plan kitchen and living area forms the core of the home, anchored by a fireplace that earns its keep from September through April, when the Swedish coast takes on a different, sharper beauty. On October evenings, with the fire going and rain tapping the large windows, this room feels properly sheltered and warm—the kind of atmosphere you can't manufacture in a new-build. The two bedrooms are well-proportioned and quiet. The tiled bathroom is clean and functional, with a shower. Below the main floor, a basement handles laundry and storage, freeing up the living areas to feel uncluttered. Then there's the separate guest cottage—a friggebod of around 15 square meters sitting beside the main house. Guests get their own space. Or you reclaim it as a writing room, a studio, somewhere to work remotely during those long Swedish summer days when the light refuses t ... click here to read more

Picture this: it's six in the morning in early July, the Swedish sun is already up and flooding the birch trees outside your kitchen window with that particular pale gold light you only get this far north. You pull on a sweater, step out through the covered terrace, and walk 300 meters down to the stone beach at Edsviken for a swim before anyone else in the neighborhood has stirred. That's not a fantasy — that's Tuesday in Grovstanäs. This two-bedroom year-round house at Edsviksvägen 35 sits on a genuinely generous 2,004 square meters of Swedish bedrock and forest. The plot feels less like a garden and more like a piece of the archipelago landscape that happened to come with a house on it. Exposed granite outcrops push through the ground, tall pines creak when the wind picks up off the water, and a stretch of well-tended lawn closer to the house gives children room to run and adults somewhere to set up the grill on a long summer evening. The storage shed handles the practical overflow — kayak paddles, snow boots, fishing rods — so the house itself can stay uncluttered. Inside, the 67 square meters are arranged sensibly and without wasted space. The kitchen, dining area, and living room flow into each other in a single open space, which means that whoever's cooking isn't excluded from the conversation happening three meters away. The large windows in the living room do real work here: they pull in light from the surrounding trees and, depending on the season, frame snow-covered spruce or the vivid green of new birch leaves. The covered terrace off the living room extends that indoor-outdoor feeling and means you're not chased inside the moment a cloud passes over — in the Swedish archipelago, that resilience matters. Th ... click here to read more

Early on a Saturday morning in July, the smell of pine resin drifts through the open bedroom window. Somewhere down the slope, a loon calls out across Lake Roxen. You pull on a sweater, walk barefoot across the wooden floor to the kitchen—renovated just a few years ago—and put the kettle on while the Contura stove still holds the warmth from last night. This is not a fantasy. This is a regular Saturday at Lövviksvägen 6 in Göten, a quiet pocket of Östergötland that most international buyers have never heard of, but probably should. The house sits on 2,203 square meters of land—a genuinely large plot for this part of Sweden—and the grounds feel more like a forest garden than a managed lawn. Moss-covered boulders push up through the grass. Mature trees create a canopy thick enough to give real shade in August. There are rock formations scattered across the property that look like they've been there since the last ice age, because they have. It has a wildness to it that you simply can't manufacture, and it takes exactly zero effort to maintain because nature has already decided what this place looks like. Built in 1978, the main house has been kept in genuinely good shape. The kitchen was redone in 2020—proper appliances, good storage, clean lines—and connects openly to the living room in a way that makes the 58 square meters feel more generous than the number suggests. The Contura wood-burning stove anchors the room. Light a fire on a cool September evening and the whole space shifts into something much warmer and more intimate. Off the living room, an insulated conservatory pushes the usable season in both directions: you're sitting out there comfortably in April when it's still too cold to be outside, and again in Octo ... click here to read more

Step out onto the wide wooden deck on a Tuesday morning in July, coffee in hand, and the only sound you'll hear is the wind moving through the birch trees and, faintly, someone's rowboat bumping against the dock down at the harbor. That's the pace of life at Vinbärsvägen 26 in Kaggebo — and once you've felt it, a regular city weekend feels like a poor substitute. This two-bedroom holiday home sits on one of the most generous plots in the Kaggebo holiday area: 2,339 square meters of mixed garden and natural woodland, carved out between mature trees that have been growing here since long before the house was built in 1978. Most neighbors are working with a fraction of that space. Here, you have room to breathe — a proper lawn for the kids to tear across, a corner for a kitchen garden, shade in the afternoon when the sun has been doing its thing since five in the morning. The house itself is 62 square meters of well-kept, practical space. Two bedrooms, one bathroom, and an open-plan kitchen and living room that makes the most of every square foot. The large windows and glass door at the rear don't just bring in light — they frame the deck and the garden beyond like a living painting that changes all day as the angle of the sun shifts. The layout is honest and efficient. No wasted corridors, no awkward rooms. The kitchen feeds directly into the dining and sitting area, which feeds directly out onto the deck. It works. That deck deserves a proper mention. It runs the full length of the house, partly covered so you get options — eat lunch in the shade, move the chairs into the sun for the afternoon, stay out in the evening under the covered section when the temperature drops. In Sweden's brief, intense summer, a deck like t ... click here to read more

The first thing you notice on a summer morning at Smultronvägen 6 is the silence — the kind that only exists when forest meets water. Step outside with your coffee and the pines behind the garden are still, the air carrying a faint salt edge from the Baltic inlet just 500 meters down the track. This is Kaggebo, a small, quietly beloved holiday area in Valdemarsvik municipality, and this three-bedroom house with its own guest cottage sits right in the middle of what Swedes come here every July to find. The main house was built in 1978 and spans 77 square meters — not a sprawling estate, but intelligently planned for how people actually live on holiday. Three bedrooms handle a family comfortably, and one of them is large enough for a proper double bed rather than the cramped singles you find in older Swedish sommarstuga. The living room opens generously toward the kitchen, which matters when someone's making smörgås and wants to be part of the conversation rather than exiled to another room. Off the kitchen there's a flexible extension — some families use it as a dining area, others have turned it into a fourth sleeping space when cousins arrive unannounced. Both approaches work. The glass-enclosed conservatory might be the most-used room in the house. Jutting out from the living area, it catches afternoon light long after the main rooms go shady. On rainy August days — and there will be rainy August days in Östergötland — this is where everyone ends up with board games and leftover kanelbullar from the local bakery van that makes its rounds through Kaggebo on weekends. A storage room directly off the conservatory handles the practical side: laundry connections, outdoor gear, the general accumulation of a family that spe ... click here to read more

Six o'clock on a July morning. The air coming through the bedroom window carries pine resin and cold lake water, and somewhere across the meadow a woodpecker is already at work. You pull on a sweater, step off the patio, and walk barefoot through the grass toward Lake Viken — ninety seconds, maybe less — while the rest of the house sleeps. This is not a scene from a magazine. This is the daily rhythm at Åsen Klippnäset 90, and it's available right now for a fraction of what comparable waterside properties cost anywhere else in Scandinavia. Set in the Halna district of Töreboda municipality in Sweden's Västra Götaland region, this three-bedroom holiday home sits on a 973-square-metre plot at the end of a quiet lane with mature forest on two sides and open water within easy walking distance. It's the kind of place that regulars come back to summer after summer, the kind of place their kids will spend the rest of their lives trying to recreate for their own children. The main house covers 61 square metres and is organised across four rooms, which sounds compact until you actually stand inside it. The layout is tight but logical — nothing is wasted. A kitchen that functions exactly as a summer kitchen should, set up for large batches of crayfish and pots of coffee going simultaneously, with a serving window that opens directly toward the patio so whoever's cooking doesn't have to miss the conversation. The living room anchors everything with a fireplace that gets serious use from April through September, because Swedish summer evenings have a way of turning cool just as the mood turns good. Three bedrooms sleep the full crew comfortably, and when the overflow arrives — cousins, old friends, whoever shows up on Midsommar E ... click here to read more
