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.

When the deer comes for breakfast

We had a great time here at House Höganäs in Totebo. The children loved going out on the lake with the rowboat. We could let off steam on the large trampoline and the pirate ship playhouse while also relaxing under the beautiful apple trees. The location was simply perfect for spending two days in the Astrid Lindgren World. Also ideal for many other excursions!

We gladly recommend the accommodation.

Beautiful vacation in Smaland

The house is very well equipped and very clean. Many kitchen utensils and appliances, many bicycles, comfortable beds. However, no dishwasher. Very nice garden. Totebo is a nice little village. Close to the forest and a beautiful lake. Dogs were also allowed on a leash at the nice bathing area. We had a lot of fun with the boat and the kayak, even though the shortcut to the boat was not easy to find. We found the nearby moose park great and also the ride on the historic train to Västervik.
Contact with the landlord was always very nice and helpful.

Feeling good in Sweden

We were very lucky to spend 12 beautiful nights with our family and friends in the neighboring holiday apartments. With a total of 7 children, it was never boring – the large garden was simply perfect for playing, romping, and relaxing. The barbecue evenings will stay in our memory for a long time.

For the kids, the large DVD selection, the consoles, and the numerous games and puzzles in the house were a highlight during bad weather. With mostly beautiful weather, the easily accessible lake was dreamy, and thanks to the great swimming tips from the landlord, we discovered some wonderful spots by the sea. All the excursions were a highlight: the moose safari was an unforgettable experience, and Astrid Lindgren World delighted not only the children. Västervik also pleased us very much – a beautiful city. Especially the café with the fantastic cinnamon rolls captivated us – we went there three times! Thanks for the recommendation to Andy.

As a crowning conclusion, we were even able to observe a deer in the garden on the last evening. A very special moment that perfectly rounded off our vacation.

Thank you very much for the hospitality and this beautiful holiday home. We felt completely at ease and are taking many unforgettable memories home with us. A small drawback in the equipment due to the missing dishwasher. That would still be a great addition to the holiday home. Otherwise, everything was perfect.

Information on all important topics can be found on the pinned sheets on the refrigerator. Otherwise, Andy also always responded very quickly to questions.

Answer from Mr. A. Winkler:

Vielen Dank für euer ehrliches Feedback. Bezüglich der "fehlenden Spühlmaschine" so möchten wir jedoch kurz darauf hinweisen, dass wir weder hier im Portal noch auf unserer Homepage die Verfügbarkeit einer Spühlmaschine erwähnen, da es aus Platzgründen leider nicht möglich ist, diese in unser derzeit vorhandenes Küchenlayout zu integrieren. Ansonsten bedanken wir uns bei euch für die gute Bewertung und dass ihr unser Haus Höganäs ausgewählt habt.

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!
