The cosy vacation home is located directly at the lake Östen, the northern end of the Dalsland canal, in the Western Swedish province of Värmland. Värmland is known for being Sweden’s natural attraction with its endless woods and 10.000 lakes. Pure relaxation awaits you surrounded by woods with a beautiful view on the lake from the terrace, as well as the sauna. Your own jetty only lies 30m away from the house. You have the option to rent a motorized fishing boat. The house Stenbäcken offers a sophisticated equipment and a spacious and covered terrace. No matter what time of the year, the house is climatized all year round: During the summer, the wooden structure of the house keeps the house naturally cool, whereas during the colder months, the floor heating and the wood-burning oven create a pleasant temperature. You have to bring your own bedlinen and towels. You can buy firewood at local dealers.

Hej! After several years as a tenant in the house, we took the opportunity and made it to "ours". Right in the first year we fell in love with this place and there was no turning back. Here we are and we are happy to share these impressions! Personally, we are not there, but there is a very nice and helpful neighborhood. Välkommen i Sverige och en trevilg semester!

Active in nature and water The surrounding nature already provides the activities for your stay. Most importantly, the combination of water, nature and the abundance of animals invites you to go fishing. The Östen and many more lakes and rivers provide rich fishing grounds with pikes (+10 kg), bass (+1,5 kg) and trout. The fishing activity is rather low in the area which results in good catches. …who wants to try something different, has also the chance to try ice fishing… The beautiful nature also provides unforgettable memories when it comes to water sport activities. Swimming, canoeing, boat rides, tubing, water ski, jet ski etc. make every sports fan happy. For the more low-key people, a relaxed day on a lonely island awaits you. Who rather wants to stay on land, can go for a hike, take the bike for a spin, look for a hidden geo cache or collect some wild berries and mushrooms. With a bit of luck, you can meet a moose or a lynx in its natural habitat. If you want to make sure to see wildlife, you can also visit a moose park or take part in a beaver safari. The nearby nature reserve Glaskogen is perfect for longer hikes.
