About this villa rental

Refurbished historic house in the idyllic Swedish lake district. Secluded but well-connected, with private access to the lake. Perfect for large family getaways, groups of friends, and peaceful romantic breaks immersed in nature.

In summer, you can sauna, barbecue and eat outdoors, swim, kayak, hike, forage, fish, and cycle. Use our 9 kayaks, rowing boat, and lifevests.

In winter, ski at family-friendly local resorts Säfsen and Romme, and get cosy in the sauna or by the fire.
About the property: This historic building once housed seven families of charcoal makers, hence its name, the charcoal barracks (Kolakasern). It is modernised, and has a sauna, 9 kayaks, 1 rowing boat, wood-burning stove, balcony, and beautiful view of the lake. Plenty of windows make the space bright and airy throughout. The house offers privacy, with no neighbours visible. Activities are easy to access, and the nearest shop and petrol station is in Sunnansjö, a 10 minute drive.

The house is split into three flats, which each have their own bathroom. Two of them have a full kitchen.

The upstairs flat sleeps up to 9 people. It has a large dining area where around 18 people can sit together, a large balcony, smart TV, wood-burning stove, kitchen, living room, four bedrooms and a bathroom. Toys and games are available for children to enjoy.

The larger downstairs flat sleeps 8, plus 1 infant. It has a deck area, smart TV, kitchen, living room, two bedrooms, a crib, and bathroom.

The smaller downstairs flat sleeps 4. It has two bedrooms and a bathroom.
Guest access: You can access the whole house except for locked storage areas. At your own risk, you can use the sauna, kayaks, rowing boat, lifejackets and garden games. Other things to note:
We don't charge a cleaning fee. Instead, we kindly ask that you clean and tidy at the end of your stay - see the house manual for details. Please recycle - see the house manual. No electric car charging is available. Do not attempt to plug charging cables into the house, it will cause a power cut and is a fire hazard.

The house is very spacious and the place is really lovely with a big garden and just a short walk to the lake. The house had all the amenities so you don't have to bring anything. Our family really enjoyed staying there.
10 / 10Outstanding·Aug 2021
We stayed in the house for a week in August with our family (9 adults, 6 children and 1 baby in total) and enjoyed it a lot. The house is beautiful and spacious, great lake view, nice beds and well-equiped kitchen. The communication with the owner was smooth. One minor downside was that there are only 2 showers. We would definately recommend it to other large groups.
