Cozy guesthouse for family or a group of friends.
We enjoyed staying with Agnetha and Jan very much. A nice cozy cottage in a quiet and secluded location and Agnetha was very helpful if you had any questions. The sauna was a highlight.

Large villa close to the sea & city center on Öland
We had an amazing stay at this beautiful house! The garden was lovely, and we enjoyed the cozy seating areas both inside and out. A short walk to watch the sunset was a highlight. The host was super responsive and easy to communicate with. We also visited Solliden, just a 30-minute drive away. Perfect spot for a family getaway!

New villa with pool in a nature friendly area
Really nice house a couple of minutes by car from Köpingsvik. A big heated pool made the stay even nicer even though the weather was chilly. Everything was according to the description. If you are looking for something like this, this would be a great choice!

Newly renovated, rural – right by Ölands Alvar
Lena is a great hostess and took care of all our concerns directly. Check-in was very straightforward, the apartment was very clean and the location is good and nice and quiet. We were able to have a very good time there. Thank you, dear Lena

Nice villa with a pool
We had a fantastic 4 night stay at this villa. It has all possible amenities, and is in top condition as well as very nicely decorated. Quiet and pleasant area with large plot and lovely terrace around the pool. Angelica and Robin were quick to answer questions and generous with everything.

Villa outside Kalmar by the sea with pool.
We had a great week at the house and nothing was missing! The location is very quiet and beautifully situated by the lake!

Experience time off in a quiet and idyllic setting
It was perfect for two families, we had such a great time, and the hosts were lovely. They helped us with everything we needed. We went fishing, enjoyed the hot tub, and the house had plenty of space for all of us. It was peaceful and so relaxing to unwind on the big terrace. We’d all love to come back next year. Thank you! 😊

Cozy log cabin with fireplace, close to sandy beach.
When we urgently needed a cabin upon arrival in Sweden, because another Airbnb didn't do anyway, Ylva responded within 1 hour and very quickly we were on our way to Millegarne, where she had arranged to warm up the cabin and turn on lights until we arrived. We felt very quickly at home and enjoyed both the cabin and the beautiful nature reserve Gö right next door. We are happy to come again and highly recommend both the area and Ylva's cabin☀️
