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 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

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

Main cottage and garden view

Step outside on a July morning at Såghyttevägen 14 and you'll hear it before you see it — the absolute quiet of Mellantjärnen lake, broken only by the soft lap of water against the shore less than fifty meters from your door. The birch trees are still. The coffee is on. And somehow, even though Falun's city center is just minutes away by car, it feels like the rest of the world has agreed to leave you alone for a while. That's the particular magic of this corner of Dalarna, and this property captures it in a way that's hard to manufacture. Three separate buildings sit on a generous 7,570 square meter lot — a main house, a guest cottage with an open fireplace, and a compact little outbuilding the previous owners called the "dollhouse." It's the kind of setup that rarely comes up for sale, and when it does, it goes quickly. The main house is 36 square meters — honest, compact, and well-considered. A small entrance hall opens into the layout, with a bedroom to one side and a combined kitchen, dining, and living space that makes the most of every centimeter. The wood-burning stove at the center of that room earns its keep on cool Dalarna evenings in September, when the temperatures drop and the maples turn amber outside the large windows. Those windows matter. They frame the lake and the tree line in a way that makes the interior feel much more open than the footprint suggests — you're always aware of the water, always connected to the landscape outside. The kitchen is set up for exactly what this kind of retreat demands: a refrigerator, a hotplate, a sink. Nothing excessive. Enough to put together a proper Swedish fika spread, fry up the perch you caught that morning, or heat soup after a long ski. The guest cottage add ... click here to read more

Main house and lakeside view

Step out onto the rear deck just after seven on a July morning. The meadows stretch out in every direction, still wet with dew, and the only sound is birdsong cutting through air that smells faintly of pine and grass. This is Barkö — a quiet hamlet tucked into the Swedish countryside outside Östhammar, where summer feels unhurried and deliberately slow in the best possible way. Set on a generous 2,411 square metre plot along Barkö 121, this red-and-white Swedish country home from 1975 has spent its entire life in one family's hands. That kind of continuity shows. The garden is mature and deeply considered — not manicured to within an inch of its life, but layered: open lawn rolling into shade from established trees, with space carved out naturally for a kitchen garden if you want one, a greenhouse if you've been meaning to start one, or simply a hammock strung between two birches. The lot is large enough to feel private, small enough to manage on a weekend without it becoming a chore. Inside, 50 square metres is used sensibly. The living room anchors the house around a wood-burning stove that does serious work on cool September evenings when the nights start turning. Large windows pull the outside in — you get a long view over meadows and pastures that changes character entirely depending on the light and the season. The kitchen connects without fuss, practical and well-positioned for someone cooking for a table of six after a day out on the water. Two bedrooms, one bathroom with shower and WC, and a covered entrance veranda where your morning coffee goes cold because you keep stopping to watch whatever is happening in the garden. The sea is 3.2 kilometres away. That's a ten-minute bike ride on flat terrain, the kind ... click here to read more

Front view of the summer cottage

Six o'clock on a July morning and the only sound is a woodpecker somewhere in the pines behind the garden. You pull open the conservatory door, coffee in hand, and the cool air carries the faint smell of resin and wet grass. This is what Ekedals byväg 66 feels like before the rest of the world wakes up — and honestly, that alone is worth the price of admission. This is a proper Swedish sommarstuga, the kind that gets passed between families who actually use it. Two bedrooms, a renovated kitchen, a conservatory big enough for a long table of eight, and a flat garden that begs for a game of kubb before dinner. Fifty square metres of well-considered space that never feels tight because the ceiling in the main living room shoots all the way up to the ridge, doubling the sense of volume. The generous windows pull the treeline inside, so the forest is always in your peripheral vision whether you're cooking, reading, or just sitting still. The current owners renovated with a clear-eyed focus on practicality — not cosmetic staging. The kitchen is genuinely functional: full-size stove, fridge-freezer, proper worktop space. No fussy finishes that scuff easily, no open shelving that looks great in photos and collects dust in real life. The loft above the living area sleeps two more, which makes spontaneous visits from friends or children's cousins entirely manageable rather than logistically painful. The bathroom has a shower cabin, sink, and a separett composting toilet — a standard and well-proven setup in Swedish leisure properties where conventional sewage connection isn't available. Off the main living room, the conservatory deserves its own paragraph. This is where summer actually happens. Long breakfasts that drift into l ... click here to read more

The first thing you notice on a summer morning at Litsnäset 130 is the sound of the Indalsälven moving past the garden — a low, steady current that replaces whatever city noise you carried here. The boathouse is twenty steps from the kitchen door. The fishing rod is already rigged. Coffee's on. This compact one-bedroom holiday home in Lit, Jämtland sits on a 1,150-square-metre riverside plot in the small community of Litsnäset, roughly ten minutes by car from the town of Lit and about forty minutes from Östersund. At 20 square metres, it's deliberately simple. That's not a limitation — it's the point. This kind of cabin demands very little of you. You spend your time outside. The main house pulls off something that bigger properties often fail at: everything is in its right place. A wood-burning stove anchors the living area, which doubles as a sleeping space with a sofa corner and bunk bed. When you light the fire on an October evening and the river mist rolls across the plot, the whole room feels genuinely warm rather than just heated. The kitchen is compact but practical, with its own separate entrance opening directly onto the garden — meaning you can carry plates straight to the terrace table without threading through the living space. Small detail. Big difference in daily use. The partly covered terrace is where most of the daylight hours happen in summer. It faces the water. The sun in Jämtland in July doesn't set until past ten, and from the terrace you watch the light go gold on the Indalsälven for what feels like hours. The property's own stretch of riverfront is directly accessible — you walk across your garden and you're at the water's edge. Swimming, fishing from the bank, pushing a kayak in. No shared ac ... click here to read more

The first morning you wake up at Norrberg 18, before you've even put the coffee on, you'll hear it — absolute silence, broken only by the low call of a wood pigeon somewhere in the birch trees out back. No traffic. No sirens. Just Hälsingland doing what it does best. This two-bedroom country home sits on a generous 8,520 square metres of land in the rural reaches of Ljusdals kommun, and it comes with the kind of breathing room that's almost impossible to find anywhere near a city at this price. The plot is big enough to disappear into — part open meadow, part woodland fringe — and the outbuildings alone are worth the trip up here to see in person. Let's talk about the house itself. Around 120 square metres spread across two floors, which gives you more flexibility than you might expect from a two-bedroom layout. Downstairs, a wide entrance hall opens into a kitchen that's actually sized for cooking — the sort of room where you can have four people chopping and nobody's in anyone's way. Off the kitchen, two additional rooms adapt easily: reading room one week, extra guest space the next, home office the week after that. The ground floor bathroom has a shower and toilet, and everything works. Upstairs, a furnished landing functions as a secondary sitting area — the kind of spot that fills up with books and card games by August — and two proper bedrooms look out over the fields and treeline. It's a quiet, uncomplicated layout that actually suits the way people use a summer house. The sale includes all furnishings and loose items currently in the property. You drive up, you put your bags down, you open the windows. That's it. No waiting on furniture deliveries from the mainland. Now, the outbuildings. There's a tradition ... click here to read more

Front view of the house and garden

Step onto the sheltered deck on an August morning and the air already smells of pine resin and salt. The Gulf of Bothnia is less than a ten-minute walk through the trees. Somewhere behind the house, a woodpecker is working its way up a spruce. This is Söråker — quiet in the very best sense, and closer to everything than you'd expect. Söråker sits in Timrå municipality, roughly 40 kilometres north of Sundsvall along Sweden's High Coast corridor. This stretch of the Norrland coastline doesn't get the same international noise as Gotland or Dalarna, but Swedes who know it guard it fiercely. The summers here are genuinely warm, the light stretches well past ten in the evening, and the sea at Klingerfjärden is calm enough for children but cold enough to make you feel alive. In the winters — quiet, snowbound, birch trees turned to white sculpture — the same roads that carry cyclists in July carry cross-country skiers in January. The rhythm shifts completely between seasons, and that's half the appeal. The house itself was built in 1980 and sits on a 1,620-square-metre lot that backs directly onto forest. Forty-six square metres of interior space sounds modest until you're inside and realize the layout wastes nothing. Two bedrooms, a living room anchored by a wood-burning stove, and a kitchen with a proper dining area. The stove is the kind of detail that matters in October, when the evenings drop fast and you want something that heats a room the old-fashioned way — not just a thermostat click, but actual fire behind glass, the smell of birch logs, a reason to stay inside a little longer. The kitchen is set up for real cooking, not just reheating, with enough storage to stock for a week without the place feeling cluttered. Ou ... click here to read more

Exterior view of the holiday home

You wake up to the smell of pine resin warming in the morning sun, and the only sound is a woodpecker somewhere deep in the birch forest behind the cottage. No traffic. No sirens. Just the occasional clink of a coffee cup and the creak of an old wooden floor underfoot. This is Gottröra—a pocket of rural Uppland that most people drive straight past on their way to the coast, which is precisely why the people who find it never want to leave. Set along Vängsjöbergsvägen in the quiet community of Gottröra, about 20 kilometers inland from Norrtälje, this 1968-built country home sits high on its own plot—elevated enough to catch the light early, private enough that you'll forget neighbors exist. The 3,026-square-meter grounds unfold around a sheltered courtyard framed by the main house, a guest cottage, a sauna building, and several outbuildings. From above, it looks like a small Swedish farm that got quietly left behind by the twentieth century, and that's exactly the appeal. The main house is 64 square meters of honest, unfussy living space. Two bedrooms, a kitchen with a wood-burning stove big enough to heat the whole room in February, and a sitting room anchored by a proper fireplace. The layout was designed for people who actually use their homes—not for show. On a grey November afternoon, with a pot of elk stew on the stovetop and snow pressing against the single-pane kitchen window, this house delivers exactly what it promises: warmth, quiet, and the particular contentment that comes from being genuinely off the grid from city life. Summers here are something else entirely. Viksjön lake is a 550-meter walk down through the trees—a clean, cold Swedish lake where the swimming is good and the fishing is better. Pike and ... click here to read more

Front view of the country home

Step inside on a cool June morning and you'll hear it before you see it: the low creak of hand-hewn timber walls adjusting to the day's warmth, the faint scent of linseed oil paint that has soaked into every surface for over a century. Outside, the birch trees lining Skärklacken's lane are in full leaf, and somewhere down the track, a neighbour's cowbell carries across the meadow. This is not a renovated-to-within-an-inch-of-its-life weekend escape. This is the real thing. Skärklacken has been documented since 1664, when it operated as a traditional Swedish fäbod — a seasonal mountain pasture where farming families would move their livestock each summer. By the early 1900s, 22 farms clustered here and some 250 cows grazed the surrounding meadows. When the railway pushed through the Dalälven valley, the settlement transformed quietly into a small workers' community, complete with its own shop. The timber cottages that housed those railway families are still standing. This is one of them. The building itself is a two-storey log structure, and whoever has cared for it over the decades understood the difference between maintenance and interference. The walls carry their age well. Original doors, frames, and mouldings remain in place — not as a design affectation, but because they were simply never replaced. Ceilings, walls, and woodwork have been treated with traditional linseed oil paint in the old Dalarna manner, which gives the interior that warm, slightly matte glow you see in the open-air museum at Zorngården in nearby Mora. The ground floor living area has been fitted with new Floda pine flooring, and it sits comfortably alongside the older elements without trying to upstage them. Heat comes from two tiled stoves an ... click here to read more

Exterior view of the timbered cottage

The alarm doesn't go off here. You wake up because sunlight is coming through the timber walls in long yellow strips, and somewhere outside a woodpecker is hammering away at a birch tree. That's the morning at Vibyhyttevägen 3 — unhurried, cool, and exactly why you bought a Swedish country retreat in the first place. This is a genuine 18th-century log cabin in Vidbyhyttan, a quiet hamlet within Hofors municipality in Gävleborg County, sitting on just over 5,400 square meters of private land. Forty square meters inside, but don't let that fool you — the layout is tight in the best Scandinavian sense of the word. Every corner does something useful. The living room anchors the space with an open fireplace that, come October, becomes the entire reason you're still here past the summer. It radiates more than heat. It radiates that particular Swedish cabin feeling — the one people drive hours from Stockholm to find and rarely do, because most cabins this old and this authentic simply aren't for sale anymore. The galley kitchen is compact and honest. No granite countertop fantasies here — just a well-organized workspace that makes you realize how little you actually need when you're cooking with ingredients you just picked from the garden. And there is a garden worth picking from: apple trees, heavy with fruit by late August, and raspberry bushes that genuinely threaten to take over the lawn if you give them a good summer. The grassy plot stretches out generously around the cabin, backed by mature trees that screen the property on all sides and keep the whole place feeling like your own private clearing in the forest. Sleeping arrangements are cleverly stacked. The main bedroom fits two custom-built beds, and a loft above op ... click here to read more

Pull up to Gunnarvattnet 5018 on a Friday evening in February, step out of the car, and the silence hits you first. Not the uncomfortable urban kind—proper, deep Nordic silence, broken only by the creak of snow-weighted pine branches and the distant buzz of a snowmobile fading somewhere toward the Norwegian border. The thermometer reads minus twelve. The cabin's heat pump has been running since you switched it on remotely from the motorway, and when you push open the door, it's warm and smells faintly of pine and the wool blankets folded on the bunk. This is why you bought the place. Valsjöbyn sits in Jämtland's far northwestern corner, in Krokoms kommun, about as far into the Swedish mountain wilderness as you can get while still reaching an ICA store within a reasonable drive. The village is small and unassuming—a cluster of red houses, a few hundred year-round residents, and a collective understanding that the real point of being here is what lies outside the front door. Gunnarvattnet, the lake that gives the address its name, is a short walk from the cabin. It's a proper fishing lake, too. Arctic char, brown trout, whitefish—the kind of stocks that take decades of clear, cold water to build. Come July, you can walk down before breakfast with a rod, and on a good morning you'll be back in time to fry something in the pan by eight. The cabin itself covers 52 square metres, which sounds compact until you're inside. The layout is honest and functional in the way that Swedish mountain cabins have always been: nothing wasted, nothing missing. The kitchen was recently renovated and is genuinely well-equipped—this isn't a weekend getaway where you're hunting for a working tin opener. You can cook a proper meal here. The li ... click here to read more

Wake up to nothing but birdsong. No traffic hum, no neighbor's lawnmower, no phone buzzing on the nightstand — because there's no signal to carry one. At Uvahult 303 in Alsterbro, Småland, mornings arrive the way they must have for centuries: through pine-filtered light, the smell of cool forest air, and the particular quiet that only truly secluded woodland can produce. This is what you came for. This single-bedroom Swedish torp — the word for the small, self-sufficient farmsteads that dot southern Sweden's countryside — sits on 1,370 square meters of private land deep in the forests of Nybro kommun. Forty square meters of living space. Two rooms. Wooden floors and tongue-and-groove walls that have absorbed generations of long summers and crackling-fire winters. It is completely off-grid: no mains electricity, no running water, no sewage connection. That's not a compromise. For the right buyer, it's the entire point. The layout is honest and practical. The living area centers on a wood-burning stove — the social and thermal heart of the cottage — around which evenings genuinely slow down. Board games, paperbacks, the low conversation of people who've had nowhere pressing to be all day. The kitchen corner handles the essentials without ceremony. The bedroom fits a double bed and storage without feeling cramped, and the second room flexes as a reading space, a guest sleeping area, or an art studio depending on the season and who's visiting. Large windows on both sides pull the forest inside, framing whatever wildlife wanders close enough to notice. Store Hindsjön is a short walk through the trees. The lake is cold, clear, and largely unfished by anyone other than locals who know it's there. Come July and August, Swedis ... click here to read more

Step outside on a Tuesday morning in July, coffee in hand, and hear absolutely nothing except a wood pigeon somewhere in the birch trees overhead and the distant lap of Lake Vänern carrying across the meadow. That's 550 meters of open Swedish countryside between you and the largest lake in the Nordic countries. That's what Ulleredsbro 56 actually feels like. This is a three-building property on Kållandsö — the wooded island in Lidköping municipality that most international buyers have never heard of, which is precisely the point. It sits in Västra Götaland, a region that Swedes themselves treat as a serious destination, and it offers something increasingly rare: a genuine country retreat with multiple usable structures, a garden that's mature enough to actually give shade, and a waterside lifestyle that doesn't come with a waterside price tag. Listed at 54,900 EUR for a leasehold arrangement (standard and well-regulated in this part of Sweden), this is one of those properties where the numbers make you look twice. The three buildings are what make this place work. The centerpiece is a brand-new Attefall house — a Swedish planning category for compact structures built without a full permit — completed in 2023. Eighteen square meters, yes, but designed with the kind of floor logic that makes every centimeter count. There's a sleeping area, and a bathroom with both a combustion toilet and a proper shower. The materials are fresh, the finish is clean, and the whole thing is built for year-round use. On a cold November weekend, it holds warmth the way a well-insulated modern build should. Then there's the original blacksmith's cottage. Thirty square meters of preserved character — low ceilings, thick walls, a fireplace in ... click here to read more
