Pure relaxation
We have rented many holiday homes and traveled to many corners of Scandinavia, but this holiday home definitely belongs in our top 10. It has everything you need for a relaxing vacation. On one hand, the location in the middle of Dalsland, where you have many forests and mountains for hiking, but also a lot of water. For example, at the private swimming dock within walking distance from the holiday home. But even so, the house and the spacious property offer a lot. A fully equipped kitchen with everything you need, comfortable beds, options for grilling and dining outdoors, and the kids also had a play area to romp around. We will definitely visit Birgit and her little holiday home (which is not small at all) again at the next opportunity and are happy to recommend it.

A small gem in the west of Sweden
If you are looking for peace away from tourist centers, this little red house with an extremely friendly hostess is the right place! Dalsland is a beautiful region that invites both hikers and cyclists to enjoy a wonderful swim in one of the many lakes.

"Our little house"
Dear Birgit, we want to thank you once again for allowing us to spend 14 days in the little red holiday house. We were able to see and experience a lot. The weather was also favorable. The beautiful country is always worth a visit, especially for those like us who seek nature and peace. We wish you and your children all the best. Many greetings from the Kruegers.

Very beautiful holiday
We had a very nice holiday all around. The property is incredibly large. Our little one could run around the entire property. The trampoline was the absolute highlight for her.
We have never had accommodation with such a well-equipped kitchen. Everything the heart desires was there
You should definitely rent the boat and take a tour
This accommodation is highly recommended
