Fantastic lakeside cottage
Lovely, comfortable lakeside cottage with beautiful views. Watching the full moon reflect over the lake was very special. Well-equipped cottage and plenty of space for us. Quiet location and safe spaces for the children to play. It was possible to swim, kayak or fish at the lake. Bikes rented locally were good fun. There were also lots of things to see and do in the area. Friendly, helpful landlord who provided good information about the property. We are really looking forward to staying here again :)

Fantastic cottage by the lake
We had a wonderful week here and the cottage had everything we needed for 2 adults and 2 children. The views over the lake from the balcony were stunning at all times of day and we enjoyed the peace and quiet of the area. Relaxing on the balcony in the evening watching the sun go down was lovely. The owner was very friendly and helpful and gave us all the information we needed. The cottage was clean, comfortable and well-equipped with plenty of space for us all. Although the cottage is one of 9 the others are used only by their owners so it was very peaceful - only 2 others there. As the cottage is on a corner plot there was space outside for the children to play and the lake was easily accessible being opposite the cottage. We borrowed a kayak to paddle down the lake and find a beaver dam and we swam in the lake. The drying cabinet in the bathroom came in handy for the wet gear. The petrol station at the end of the lane sold milk, bread and basic provisions. Next to that was Camping 45 where you could book activities such as guided hikes or fishing trips. We also walked and cycled in the surrounding forest and 'stood on top of the world' at Hovfjället Nature Reserve which was just a few minutes drive away. Nearby Torsby had 3 big supermarkets, an off-licence (Systembolaget), shops, tourist office, swimming pool and an indoor cross-country ski centre. We had such a great stay in this cottage that we have booked again for summer 2018!

A wonderful place to explore Värmland
The cabin was very nice, comfortable and clean. The appliances worked perfectly but are a little out of date. The owner is extremely nice and helpful and the communication with him was perfect. He tried very hard to make us feel at home and to give us a perfect holiday. All in all the price is very good for the cabin and the surroundings are great! The view of the lake from the porch is great!

Nice practical holiday house in good landscape
The house is a appropriate accommodation for making holiday in a beautiful landscape. We have found all what we needed. Using the canoes is a very good possibility to explore the nice lakes in front of the house only some meters away. You can lift them very easy to the water. The walls in the house are renovated beautiful. To sit on the terrace is also very nice. For at maximum 6 people it could be a little bit to tight for eating and using the bath. For 4 people it fits very well. The facilities are a little bit old but in order so far. The mattresses in the beds should be renewed. Sleeping was to hard for us.

Hyggelig hytte med god beliggenhed ved søen og lige neden for Hovfjället. Madrasserne er tynde, opvaskemaskinen kan lække vand hvis den ikke fyldes korrekt og man skal tømme en beholder for kondensvand fra vandvarmeren løbende, men det er stadig værd at anbefale.

Schöne Stuga in värmländischer Natur
Ein wunderbarer Ort zum Erholen, es hat alles gepasst, es fehlte an nichts in dieser schönen einfachen Stuga. Wir haben eine sehr schöne erholsame Woche mit vielen Spaziergängen und Wanderungen verbracht. Der Kontakt zum Vermieter war bestens. Immer erreichbar. Großes Danke an Ed und Elisabeth.

Schwedenhäuschen in Värmland
Vorgefunden haben wir ein einfaches, hübsches Häuschen. Das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis ist stimmig. Die Endreinigung übernimmt jeder Mieter selbst und ich hatte den Eindruck, dass unsere Vormieter das Haus so hinterlassen haben, wie sie es selbst vorfinden wollten, ebenso haben wir es auch gemacht, also blitzsauber. In der Küche ist alles vorhanden, was man benötigt. Die Lage war für uns perfekt, ruhig, idyllisch..... Einzig die Matratzen aller Betten dürften beizeiten mal ausgetauscht werden. Wir haben dort eine herrliche Zeit verbracht.
