About this house rental
The Banvaktstuga anno 1905 is a lovingly renovated former railway cottage located in Fliseryd, Småland. The house was regularly modernised and today offers a cosy retreat with authentic Swedish charm, a covered veranda, wooden interiors and a quiet, natural setting. Perfect for couples, small families and anyone seeking tranquillity and a true Småland atmosphere.
The cottage sits on a 1,800 square metre natural plot with mature trees. The former railway line is barely visible today, creating a peaceful, secluded environment. Behind the house flows the Emån – here a calm section of the river, shaped by a small weir, giving the surroundings a serene, almost fairytale-like atmosphere. A rowing boat at the private jetty invites you to enjoy short, relaxing trips on the water.
