Step inside on a Tuesday morning in late June, when the light in Västra Götaland does something it only does in summer — it just stays, pale gold and horizontal, filtering through the old kitchen window at six in the morning and still hanging around past ten at night. The cast-iron wood stove ticks quietly. Outside, two hectares of open farmland stretch toward a treeline of birch and spruce. Nobody is coming down this road today unless they mean to. That's Holmen 2. A hundred-year-old Swedish country house sitting on just over three hectares of its own land, about ten minutes outside the small town of Högsäter in Färgelanda municipality. It's the kind of place that takes a minute to fully compute — the scale of it, the quiet, the way the barn's dark timber bulk anchors the yard like it's been there since before memory, because it essentially has. The house itself dates to 1920 and carries its age with confidence rather than apology. Inside the living room, the original log walls have been stripped back and left exposed — not as a design statement, but because whoever did it clearly understood that this is what the house actually is underneath. Run a hand across those logs and you're touching construction from a century ago, still solid. The wood-burning stove in the corner is the social center of the room in October when the first cold front rolls in from the Norwegian plateau. It makes the space feel earned, not decorated. The kitchen runs on a wood-fired stove too, and this isn't a gimmick. In a house this age, with this setting, cooking over wood makes complete sense — it heats the room, it slows down the morning, and it produces a smell that no gas burner ever will. Two bedrooms and roughly 60 square meters of liv ... click here to read more

Step outside on a July morning and the stream is already running. You can hear it from the kitchen window — a low, steady rush that cuts through the silence before the coffee has even finished brewing. That's the rhythm of life at Gräsholma 4512, a traditional red-painted Swedish stuga sitting on over 4,400 square meters of land in Markaryds kommun, surrounded by forest and open meadow in the kind of quiet that most people only find by accident. This is southern Sweden at its most unhurried. Markaryd sits in Kronoberg County, close to the border with Skåne, roughly 50 kilometers north of Helsingborg and about 40 kilometers from Ljungby. The E4 motorway is nearby, making it far more accessible than its rural character suggests — you can be in Malmö in under 90 minutes, or catch a flight from Malmö Airport (Sturup) without an early-morning scramble. For buyers flying in from elsewhere in Europe, Copenhagen Airport is also a realistic option, roughly two hours by car. The point is: you don't have to sacrifice the world to get here. The cottage itself was built in 1922 and painted the deep Falun red that's become almost synonymous with the Swedish countryside. White window trim, a pitched roof, a garden that rolls into the tree line — it looks exactly like the image that forms in your mind when someone says "Swedish summer house." Inside, the living space runs to 44 square meters, compact but considered, with wooden floors, good natural light, and the kind of layout that pushes you outdoors rather than keeping you in. There's an additional 20 square meters of secondary space — currently used for storage — which could easily become a hobby room, a workshop, or a proper guest annexe with minimal effort. Three bedrooms sleep ... click here to read more

Early July morning in Dalarna. You pour coffee in the kitchen, push open the window, and hear nothing but birdsong and the soft creak of pine trees. Somewhere down the trail, Lake Amungen is still glassy and cool. By noon, your cousins will arrive and fill the guest cottages; by evening, someone will have caught a perch worth bragging about. This is the rhythm that Dalstuga Björnstigen 7 makes possible — a rare Swedish country property with a main cottage, four separate sleeping cabins, a boathouse share, and nearly 2,000 square meters of open land tucked into Rättviks kommun, one of Dalarna's most quietly celebrated corners. The main cottage clocks in at 57 square meters — compact, yes, but genuinely well-used space. A wide hallway leads into a shower room, and then the living room opens up around a fireplace that earns its keep on October evenings when the forest goes amber and the temperature drops fast. The family room adjoining it has built-in bunk beds, which means kids have their own territory and you don't have to negotiate sleeping arrangements at 11pm. The kitchen is practical, with real counter space — the kind of kitchen where you actually cook, not just heat things up. What makes this place exceptional, though, is the compound quality. Four additional sleeping cottages of varying sizes each have their own electricity connection, so family groups or friends can come and go with some independence. Add a storage barn, an outdoor toilet, and several outbuildings, and you have a property that handles large gatherings without anyone feeling crowded. It also connects to the main electricity grid and draws summer water through an easement arrangement with a neighboring property. The sewage system is the property's ... click here to read more

Stand at the edge of the plot on a June morning and the only sounds are birdsong, the distant hum of a tractor somewhere beyond the tree line, and the soft creak of the old barn settling in the warmth. That's Ytternäs in Edsbro — a corner of Uppland that most Swedes know only as a blur of pine forest glimpsed from a car window, but those who stop here tend to stay a long time. Sparrtorpsvägen 26 is not a turnkey property. It's something more interesting than that. Two residential houses, a 1930s barn built from timber that was already old when your grandparents were young, and 3,769 square metres of open Swedish countryside — all sold as a single holding. If you've ever sketched out plans for a small family compound, a weekend retreat that could actually grow into something over the years, or a rural base in Scandinavia that gives you room to breathe and the freedom to build something on your own terms, this is worth a serious look. The second house — the one in usable condition right now — has a room and kitchen on the entry level, both warmed by a wood-burning stove, and a summer room upstairs that catches the long northern light beautifully from around May through September. It's simple. Honestly, very simple. But simplicity up here isn't a deficiency; it's the point. The bones are honest, the proportions are liveable, and a buyer with a clear vision and some patience will find it responsive to careful renovation. The interiors are a blank slate — no ornamental distractions, just space and possibility. The first house is older — likely late 19th or very early 20th century — with three rooms and a kitchen, including a traditional tiled kakelugn on the upper floor that adds real character. The roof has suffered from ... click here to read more

The fly line rolls out over the Laisälven at six in the morning and the grayling are already rising. You're standing on your own deck, coffee cooling on the railing behind you, and the only sounds are the river sliding past and a single curlew somewhere upstream. This is what ownership at Laisviken 144 actually feels like — not a concept, but a Tuesday morning in July. Sorsele sits deep in Swedish Lapland, about an hour's drive south of the Arctic Circle along the E45 — the same road locals call the "Wilderness Road" or Vildmarksvägen. It's not a place people stumble across. You come here on purpose, because you know what's here: one of the most intact river systems in all of Europe, forests that stretch unbroken for hundreds of kilometres, and a quality of silence that most of Europe has simply run out of. The property itself is a classic Swedish log cabin, hand-built in the style that has kept Lapland families warm through centuries of hard winters. Fifty square meters, one bedroom, a bright main living space with windows that face directly onto the river, and a glass-enclosed veranda that makes the outside feel like inside for roughly nine months of the year. The log walls — thick, honey-coloured, fragrant on warm days — do more than just look the part. They keep the cold out in February and the heat comfortable in the high summer light when the sun barely sets. That veranda deserves its own mention. On a mid-August evening when the light goes gold around ten o'clock and the Laisälven is mirror-flat, it becomes the best room in the house. A card game, a bottle of Riesling, friends who've driven up from Stockholm — you'll find nobody wants to go to bed. The glass panels mean you're still sitting in that same spot wh ... click here to read more

You step off the small motorboat, tie the line to your own dock, and the only sound is water lapping against the hull and a pair of oystercatchers arguing somewhere in the reeds. That's your arrival. Every time. Toharen Island, tucked inside the Gävle archipelago roughly five minutes by boat from the mainland at Sikvik, operates on its own rhythm — and after one summer here, you'll wonder how you ever unwound anywhere else. This is a genuine Swedish island holiday property: compact, honest, and surrounded by more sky and water than most people see in a year. The main cabin sits on a freehold plot of 1,340 square meters, and at 25 square meters it doesn't pretend to be anything other than what it is — a place to sleep well, eat simply, and spend the rest of your waking hours outside. One bedroom, a living room with large windows that pull the birch canopy and the water's glitter directly into the room, a kitchenette for morning coffee and late-night snacks after a long day on the water. The layout is tight but considered. Nothing wasted. What the numbers don't tell you is the feeling of those windows on a midsummer morning when the light arrives around 3am and fills the room long before you're ready to wake up. Or the way the dock planks warm up fast in June so you can sit with bare feet dangling over the water before breakfast. Summers in Gävle run warm and long — July averages hover around 20°C, and the archipelago catches enough sun to make the swimming genuinely good from late June through August. The water here isn't the glacial shock people expect. It's brackish, calm in the sheltered coves, and by July it reaches temperatures that make you want to stay in. Beyond the main house, the property gives you real flexi ... click here to read more

Main house and garden view

At five in the morning in July, the sun hasn't gone down since yesterday. It hangs low and amber over the Gulf of Bothnia, throwing copper light through the birch trees at the edge of the garden, and you're already awake — not because you have to be, but because Seskarö does something to your sleep cycle. You stop fighting time up here. You start living by light instead. That's the pull of Bladviken 5. A two-bedroom country home on one of northern Sweden's quieter islands, sitting on a 1,975 square metre plot just a hundred metres from the shoreline. The water is right there — you can smell it through the kitchen window in the morning, that cold, clean salt-and-pine combination that doesn't exist anywhere further south. The house itself is 63 square metres of honest, practical Scandinavian living. Wooden walls, natural light coming in at all angles, and a floor plan that doesn't waste a centimetre. It's not enormous, but it's thoughtfully arranged — the kind of layout where you always know where everyone is, where conversations drift naturally from the kitchen to the living room without anyone having to raise their voice. Two bedrooms handle a couple or a small family comfortably. The single bathroom is functional. The kitchen is set up for actual cooking, not just reheating things — and when you're coming back from a morning on the water with fresh-caught perch or Baltic herring, that matters. What extends the property's real usefulness is everything outside the main house. Multiple outbuildings sit across the generous plot, and they're the kind of practical structures that Swedish island life actually calls for. There's room for a proper sauna setup — this is Norrbotten, after all, and a summer evening without a sau ... click here to read more

Step out onto the deck at seven in the morning, coffee in hand, and the only sounds are birdsong and the faint lap of water from Lake Fåsjön through the trees. That's the daily reality at Boviksvägen 5 — a winterized country home in Sweden's Bergslagen region that earns its keep in every season, not just the postcard ones. Nora Municipality sits about 190 kilometers west of Stockholm, deep in the forested heartland of Örebro County. People who discover this pocket of Sweden tend to stay loyal to it. The landscape is classic Swedish countryside — mixed pine and birch forest, mirror-flat lakes, red timber houses glimpsed along gravel roads — but Nora itself punches above its weight. The wooden town center is one of the best-preserved in the country, with cobbled lanes, 19th-century merchant houses, and the kind of ice cream parlor (Noras GB Glassbar, if you're asking) that generates genuine local debate about flavor rankings. It's about a 20-minute drive from the property. The house sits on Boviksvägen, a quiet road that hugs the eastern shore of Lake Fåsjön. At 68 square meters, the main building is honest about what it is: a well-planned single-story retreat where the hallway, living room, and kitchen flow into one another without fuss. Built in 1990 and kept in good condition since, it reads airy rather than small, largely because the windows are generous and positioned to pull in the surrounding green. Two bedrooms sit toward the rear — calm, properly sized rooms suited for sleeping deeply in a way that town apartments rarely allow. The bathroom is shared, which is standard for a house this size, and it works. Beyond the interiors, a glazed veranda extends the livable space into the colder shoulder months, letting yo ... click here to read more

Step off the gravel path and onto the covered porch of Rumma Ekenberg on a late July evening, and the first thing you notice is the silence. Not an uncomfortable silence — the kind that has texture. Wind moving through birch trees. A wood pigeon somewhere to the east. The faint smell of pine resin warming in the last of the day's sun. If you've been chasing that particular kind of quiet for years, you've just found it. This 19th-century Swedish torp sits in the village of Rumma, tucked into the rural heart of Östergötland — a county that Swedes themselves talk about with a certain reverence. Three bedrooms, one bathroom, 96 square metres of winterized living space, and just over 1,000 square metres of land that backs toward open fields and forest. At €87,000, it's the kind of property that makes you do the math twice. The house is old in the best possible way. Original wide-plank wooden floors run through the living room, their grain darkened and worn smooth by well over a century of use. Three windows on three different walls mean the room catches the light at almost every hour — gold in the morning from the east, bright and even through the afternoon, and that long, horizontal Scandinavian evening light that doesn't quit until past ten in summer. The open fireplace anchors the space. Come October, when the first frosts push in across the fields, you'll be very glad it's there. The kitchen was renovated in 2006, and whoever did the work had good taste. Masur birch cabinetry — a figured, almost burl-like birch that's genuinely striking up close — gives the room a quiet distinctiveness that off-the-shelf Ikea kitchens simply can't replicate. Black-and-white stone-effect flooring, decent appliances including a dishwashe ... click here to read more

Early morning on Tjurkö, the Baltic air carries a faint smell of salt and pine resin through the bedroom window, and the only sound is a pair of oystercatchers working the shoreline 500 meters down the path. That's your morning. No traffic, no neighbors in sight, just the particular quiet that belongs to the Swedish archipelago in the hours before breakfast. Kyskens väg 8 sits at the end of a winding gravel-and-grass track on one of Blekinge's most unhurried islands, set back in a small glade with a single neighbor and a 2,650-square-meter plot that's framed on three sides by old stone walls. The kind of walls that took generations to build, stone by stone, pulled from the same granite bedrock that shapes this coastline. The land is level and open—big enough for a game of kubb at dusk, a proper kitchen garden, or a hammock strung between two old trees with a book and a thermos of coffee. The house itself was built in 1967 and still carries the honest bones of a classic Swedish sommarstuga. Original wooden floors, a functional iron stove, a kitchen that has fed a lot of families over a lot of summers. It doesn't try to be something it isn't. The 52 square meters are arranged with the kind of practical logic that Scandinavian builders understood instinctively—kitchen and dining together at around 21 square meters, generous enough for a crowded table on a rainy August afternoon, two bedrooms of 9 and 11 square meters respectively, and a bathroom with shower. Four separate exits mean kids can circuit the house without ever coming back through the kitchen, which anyone who's spent a week at a Swedish summer cottage will know is quietly essential. Out the back, a covered terrace extends the living space into something close ... click here to read more

You wake up, the morning is quiet except for the sound of birdsong filtering through the pine trees, and you walk barefoot across dewy grass to rinse off under the open-air shower while the sky above turns from pale grey to gold. That's the rhythm here at Bengtsgård 80. Not a performance of countryside living — the real thing. This 45-square-metre holiday home sits on a generous 1,500 m² leasehold plot in Bengtsgård, just outside Kristinehamn in Sweden's beloved Värmland region. At around €70,000, it's one of those properties that makes you do a double take. Lake Vänern — Europe's third-largest lake — is a short walk down the road. The Bengtsgård bathing area, with its clean sandy shore and calm swimming waters, is practically your front yard. And yet the place feels genuinely tucked away, surrounded by mature trees that screen you from the world without making you feel cut off from it. The house itself was built in 1970 and renovated in 2019, and the kitchen-living area is the real heart of it. Open-plan, bright, with large windows pulling in natural light that shifts dramatically through the seasons — it's the kind of space where Sunday mornings stretch out over long breakfasts and nowhere-to-be afternoons. The kitchen has been modernised properly: real storage, working appliances, finishes that don't feel temporary. A wood-burning fireplace anchors the living room, and on those September evenings when the air turns cool and the lake mist rolls in, it earns its place completely. One bedroom, thoughtfully arranged for genuine rest. There's also a separate utility room with an incineration toilet — a practical, low-footprint solution that's standard in Swedish off-grid holiday properties and entirely in keeping with t ... click here to read more

You wake up before anyone else in the house. The sun is already high — it's July, and this far north of the Arctic Circle, it barely dips below the horizon. You pull on a fleece, step outside onto the lot, and walk the forty-odd meters down to the edge of Lake Kusträsket. The water is glass. A pike rolls near the reeds. You have nowhere to be. That's the reality of owning a place at Kusträsk 34. This 60-square-meter timber holiday home sits on a generous 2,190 square meter plot in the Boden municipality of Norrbotten County, built in 2007 from solid log construction that keeps the interior cool in summer and retainable-warm through the brutally cold Swedish winters. Two bedrooms, one bathroom, a separate hygiene cottage with a traditional sauna, and fiber-optic broadband that runs fast enough to handle a video call or a Netflix evening when the weather turns. It's the kind of property that covers every real need without overcomplicating anything. The open-plan living and dining area is the social core of the cabin. Wide windows face the forest and the lake — not a curated view through a narrow frame, but a proper wide look at the spruce canopy and the water beyond. The natural pine interior does something good to the light in here; everything takes on a warm amber tone by late afternoon. Cook, eat, play cards at the table, watch the weather roll in across the lake. The kitchen is set up for proper cooking, not just reheating — and after a morning out on the water pulling in perch, that matters. Local anglers smoke their catch over alder wood, a tradition worth learning quickly. The sauna is the detail that separates a Swedish cabin from every other rural property in Europe. This one sits in its own separate structure ... click here to read more

Early on a Saturday morning in late August, you step outside with a coffee and the air smells of pine resin and wet grass. The fruit trees at the far end of the garden are heavy with apples. Nobody else is awake yet. That's the kind of quiet that Sunnersbol 72 delivers — not the forced stillness of a spa weekend, but the genuine, unhurried pace of Swedish countryside life. Sitting in Uppsala kommun, roughly halfway between the university city of Uppsala and the small market town of Alunda, this 1976-built country home sits on a plot of nearly 3,000 square meters — almost three-quarters of an acre — that gives you room to breathe in a way that most European second homes simply can't match at this price point. At 149,500 SEK, this is one of the more accessible entry points into Swedish rural property ownership you'll find, and the combination of move-in condition, outbuildings with genuine conversion potential, and that sweeping plot makes it worth a very serious look. The house itself is compact and honest — 50 square meters of classic Swedish timber construction, painted in the kind of deep, earthy tones you see on farmhouses all across Uppland. Wooden floors run through the main rooms, the kitchen is functional and well-maintained, and large windows pull in light from multiple angles throughout the day. In a building this size, light matters enormously, and whoever designed this one got that right. The flexible internal layout — three to four rooms plus kitchen — means a couple can spread out comfortably, or a small family can make it work through the summer months with the bedrooms and living space reconfigured to suit. What makes this property genuinely interesting, though, is what sits outside the main house. Ther ... click here to read more

Early July on Vätö, and the light never quite leaves the sky. By nine in the evening it's still pale gold through the birch trees, and from the south-facing deck at Svartträskvägen 19 you can hear absolutely nothing except the occasional woodpecker working through the pines. That specific silence — no traffic, no neighbors' televisions, no city hum — is what people drive two hours north from Stockholm to find. This is it. Vätö is one of those places that Stockholmers tend to keep quietly to themselves. Technically an island in the northern Stockholm archipelago within Norrtälje municipality, it's connected by road so you arrive without any ferry anxiety, yet the moment you cross onto the island the pace genuinely shifts. The air smells different — pine resin and lake water — and the roads narrow into single tracks flanked by wildflowers that locals pick for their midsommar wreaths every June. The Sörgården area where this property sits is among the quieter pockets of the island, which is saying something. The house itself was built in 1977 and sits on a 2,323 square metre plot that's been left largely natural — mature trees, mossy ground cover, that particular Swedish woodland character you can't manufacture. It's not manicured and it's better for it. The lot gives you genuine privacy, room for a kitchen garden if you want one, and space to add a sauna cabin down the line (many neighbours have done exactly that). At 55 square metres the house is compact but considered: an open kitchen and living area that work together rather than against each other, two bedrooms, one bathroom with shower and toilet, and a wood-burning stove that transforms the entire place on a cool September evening when the archipelago light turns a ... click here to read more

Exterior view of the holiday home

Picture this: it's six in the morning, the mist is still sitting low over Lake Immen, and you're walking barefoot across cool wooden floors to put the kettle on the range cooker. The kitchen smells faintly of yesterday's wood smoke. Outside the west-facing veranda, a blackbird is going absolutely wild in the currant bushes. This is what a Tuesday looks like here — and that's before the weekend even starts. Immen Sörgården 563 is a 1939-built Swedish country home on the edge of Karlskoga municipality, sitting on just under 2,000 square meters of established garden with direct trail access to Lake Immen's swimming spots. It's the kind of place that takes roughly four minutes to make you forget you ever owned a laptop. The house itself runs to about 70 square meters across three main rooms, a kitchen, and a small additional bedroom that was originally used as a storage nook — which tells you something useful about the bones of the place. Swedish farmhouses from the 1930s were built to last, and this one has been kept in good condition without losing what makes it worth keeping. The wooden floors throughout are the real thing, not a renovation gesture, and the kitchen's white-waxed boards give the whole room a clean, light quality even on grey autumn days. The wood-burning stove in the kitchen is fully functional and very much in use — not a decorative relic. When the temperature drops in October, it earns its place. There's also a range cooker for proper cooking, and the kitchen layout is generous enough for a table, which matters enormously if you've ever tried to host six people in a cramped holiday kitchen. The living spaces carry that particular Swedish quality of being simultaneously unfussy and deeply comfortable. ... click here to read more

Step outside on a September morning and the air smells like pine resin and cold water. The birches have just turned gold, and from the southwest-facing windows of this solid little house in Matsdal, the light hits the tree line at an angle that makes everything look almost unreally vivid. This is Västerbotten, deep in Swedish Lapland, and once you've had a few days here, the idea of leaving feels genuinely inconvenient. The property sits at Matsdal 115, a quiet village address just outside Dikanäs in the Vilhelmina municipality. It's a 60-square-meter country home in genuinely good condition — two bedrooms, one bathroom, a wood-burning stove, and a fireplace that you'll use from October through April. The rooms are generous for the footprint. Scandinavian country homes from this era were built to be practical, not theatrical, and that's exactly what you get: well-proportioned spaces, natural light from multiple aspects, and an interior that's warm without trying too hard. The kitchen works. The living area is big enough for a proper family gathering. Nothing here needs to be torn out and started over. What really sets this place apart, though, is everything surrounding the house itself. The lot runs to 2.2 hectares — 22,000 square meters of mixed forest and open ground that's entirely yours. No shared access, no overlooking neighbors. The treeline wraps around the property in a way that creates natural enclosure without making it feel closed off. You're in the village, but the village gives you space. The wood-fired sauna is 15 square meters and positioned right beside a mountain brook. That detail matters more than it might sound. After a day on the snowmobile trails — which connect directly to the extensive Dikanäs ... click here to read more

Step outside on a July morning and the air smells of warm pine resin and cut grass. The apple trees are heavy. A woodpecker is working somewhere deeper in the trees, and the only traffic you'll hear all day is the distant hum of a tractor on the municipal road half a kilometer away. This is Eriksbacken 5 — a genuine Swedish stuga on a 2,752-square-meter plot in Finnerödja, Laxå, and it feels exactly like what the word "escape" is supposed to mean. The cottage itself sits comfortably at 75 square meters — not sprawling, but well-proportioned. Two bedrooms, a tiled bathroom with underfloor heating, a kitchen that handles everything from a quick fika to a full midsommar spread, and a living room generous enough that a family of four won't be climbing over each other on rainy afternoons. The bathroom was renovated in 2012 and includes both a washing machine and tumble dryer, which matters more than you'd think when you're planning to stay for three weeks in August rather than a weekend. The whole place has been adapted for accessibility too, with ramps and wider clearances — a thoughtful detail that opens the property up to grandparents, guests with mobility needs, or just anyone who's tired of holiday homes that weren't designed with real people in mind. The large south-facing wooden deck is the property's social center from May through September. On a clear summer's day, sunlight sits on this side of the house for roughly ten hours. That's not marketing language — that's the reward for the orientation of this plot. You'll develop opinions about which chair gets the best afternoon light. Beyond the main cottage, there's a separate guest cottage and a 20-square-meter storage building. The guest cottage changes how you thi ... click here to read more

The first thing you notice on a July morning at Odensåker 20 is the light. Swedish summer light, low and golden even at seven a.m., sliding through the birch canopy and landing on the wooden deck where yesterday's coffee cup still sits. Then the smell — warm pine resin, damp moss, water nearby. You don't have to see Lake Glan from here to know it's close. Fifty meters through the trees, its presence is something you feel before you arrive at the shoreline. This is a small property in the best possible sense. Thirty-five square meters of main living space on a generous 1,000 square meter plot in Norrköping Municipality, about an hour and a half south of Stockholm by road. Two separate buildings. One kitchen, one full shower bathroom, one bedroom with built-in storage — and more space to breathe than most city apartments three times this size. For anyone hunting a genuine Swedish countryside retreat, a vacation home in Östergötland, or a low-maintenance second home in Scandinavia, this is the kind of place that ends the search. The main cottage is built for the way Swedes actually spend summer: half inside, half out. The kitchen-dining area is compact but functional, and the living room gets afternoon sun that makes reading there feel like a small ceremony. The enclosed veranda is the real workhorse of this building — a glass-fronted space that stretches the usable season from a cold April into October, long past when the open deck would have you reaching for a fleece. On rainy days it fills with the sound of drops on the roof glass, and on clear evenings it holds warmth well into the night. It's where guests drift after dinner and where you'll find yourself lingering longer than you planned. The second building adds a ... click here to read more
