Description

Dear friends of Sweden looking for accommodation,

Our cosy holiday home with the beautiful name "Höganäs" is located on the outskirts of the small village of Totebo about 26 km from Vimmerby and about 40 km from the beautiful coastal town of Västervik in the southern Swedish province of Småland in Kalmar Län.

For all those who want to escape the stressful everyday life for a few weeks a year to simply unwind in the land of elks, trolls and lakes, Totebo is the ideal starting point for numerous activities such as swimming, fishing, canoeing, visiting Astrid Lindgren's World, Katthult, Bullerbü and much more.

Our house with about 120m2 living space on 2 floors consists of a living room, 3,5 bedrooms for up to 8 persons (3 double beds and 2 single beds) partly with fireplaces as well as kitchen and bathroom with shower and toilet. A washing machine as well as a large freezer are in the cellar.

In the living room there is a corner couch and armchair, bookshelf as well as a SAT-TV with all the usual German TV channels.

The property with playhouse, swing, gymnastic rings, badminton net and trampoline is about 3000m2.

Adult and children's/youth bicycles are available in the house and can be shared free of charge.

We are happy to rent our house to families. Toys, books and magazines, satellite TV, CD player/radio, bicycles in various sizes and much more are available in the house.

The obligatory barbecue, which is a must here in Sweden, as well as garden furniture consisting of 1 two-seater bench, 2 chairs + table complete the inventory.

Totebo has a small railway station, which is served by the nostalgic narrow-gauge railway a few times a day in summer.

We also have a small country store in the village centre, a boules court, a football tennis court, a playground and a butcher's shop that has opened on Totebo Gård and specialises in lamb and beef from the farm and game.

Totebo's bathing lake "Nässjön" with its bathing area and jetty is only a 10-minute walk away or just under 3 minutes by bike, and in a few minutes by car you can reach the large lake Yxern, which is also great for swimming and fishing.

Free Wi-Fi is available to our guests. Furthermore, together with House Vårbacke and according to the occupancy plan, we offer the free use of our rowing boat "Luna" as well as our "sit on-top" kayak, which is located on Lake Nässjön. With a length of 4,30m the boat offers enough space for 4 adults. For an extra charge, we provide a towel and bed linen service for our guests

About 7 km from Totebo is the beautiful Virum Elk Park, where you can experience the elks up close.

So if you are interested in spending your next holiday in beautiful Småland in the footsteps of Astrid Lindgren at a "family-friendly" price, you are very welcome here.

We would be delighted to welcome you to Höganäs.

We also rent out our beautiful cottage Vårbacke in Totebo for up to 6 persons with boat and about 900 m2 garden

On our homepage under you will find a lot of additional information about house Höganäs and house Vårbacke.

Of course you can send us an enquiry about both houses directly via our homepage or you can use the contact function on this portal to send us an enquiry.

Many kind regards from Småland

Hej då och vi ses förhoppningsvis snart i Sverige
(Bye and hope to see you soon in Sweden)

Location and surroundings of object

House Höganäs is situated on the outskirts of Totebo surrounded by approx. 3000m2 of garden with numerous fruit trees and shrubs.

There are swings, a playhouse with slide, hammock, gymnastic rings as well as a badminton net and a 3.60m trampoline, so there are plenty of sporting activities for the children. Totebo is located on the south-western edge of Västerviks Kommune in Kalmar Län in the southern Swedish province of Småland. Together with the neighbouring village of Yxered, about 300 people live in this municipality.

Astrid Lindgren's birthplace Vimmerby is only about 26 km away; the coastal town of Västervik with its beautiful archipelago islands is about 40 km away. All the locations of the Astrid Lindgren films, such as Bullerbü, Katthult, Mariannelund, Astrid Lindgren's Näs (birthplace), Astrid Lindgren's gravesite and the amusement park Astrid Lindren's World are within easy reach of Totebo.

Totebo has a small railway station, which is served by the nostalgic narrow-gauge railway a few times a day during the summer. From here you can get to either Hultsfred or Västervik.

There is also a small country store in the centre of the village where you can buy all the necessities of daily life. Right next to the country store there is a boules court, a football tennis court and a playground. At the old school there is a grass pitch for playing football.

Next to the petrol station opposite Totebo Gård you will find a butcher's shop specialising in lamb and beef from the farm as well as game.

Totebos' bathing lake "Nässjön" with bathing plats and jetty is only about 400m away, so you can reach the lake in just 8 leisurely minutes on foot or in just under 2 minutes by bike. In a few minutes by car you can reach the surrounding lakes, such as the large lake Yxern, where it is also wonderful to swim and fish.

About 7 km from Totebo is the beautiful Virum Elk Park, where you can experience the elks up close.

2 weeks in Smaland

Our 2 weeks in the old wooden house in Totebo were wonderful.

We found the house and garden just as described in the text and pictures. Particularly noteworthy is the equipment of the house: in addition to all the necessary kitchen utensils, books and toys for our 2 children, and plenty of garden play equipment, we were able to use the boat and kayak that belong to the house. The location of the house is perfect for anyone wanting to visit activities in and around Vimmerby (Astrid Lindgren World, Film Village, Katthult, Astrid Lindgren's Näs). Also nearby is the moose park Virum, a caramel factory, and the town of Västervik on the Baltic Sea. There you can enjoy swimming, strolling, or attending a spectacular Speedway event.

We were thrilled.

Beautiful stay in Sweden

We had a wonderful stay at House Höganäs in Totebo in Småland. The house is very cozily furnished, and the garden provides a lot of variety for the children with a large trampoline, climbing frame, and many play options in the trees. With the house's own kayak, it's great to paddle on Lake Nässjön, and the train connection to Västervik is also perfect. Thank you very much to Andy & Katja for the nice and uncomplicated communication - we would love to come back :-) - Hi to Sweden!

Beautiful house, but fence incomplete.

Generally a house where one lives well and the landlords are very nice and helpful. The only thing that was not present was a completely fenced property. The fence was pushed in on one side towards the railway line, so that you cannot let dogs, who like to walk independently, out unsupervised, which makes it a bit uncomfortable. Although a train rarely comes, accidents could still happen if the dog runs onto the railway line at the same time. There is also wild game in the garden from time to time. That means, even with hunting-motivated dogs, one must be in the garden.

Authentic Swedish accommodation

We thoroughly enjoyed the week over Christmas with our entire family. Andy and Kaia are super friendly hosts with excellent service. The house was lovingly decorated for the holidays. In our opinion, the accommodation is typically Swedish, with all the details we have come to know during our stays in Sweden over the years. We deducted one point for the furnishings, as we could not sufficiently heat every area in the house.

Cool Swedish house

We had a great, well-equipped house in a quiet location. It invites absolute relaxation.
The large garden, with a swing and trampoline, is a paradise for children and is perfect for barbecuing. Animals also have space to play.
There is a nice bathing lake in the immediate vicinity.
Even in autumn, the individual rooms were nicely warm thanks to the fireplaces.
We would use the house again ourselves and of course recommend it further.
The homeowners are very helpful and easily reachable.
