Our houses are located directly next to the forest and right by the lake.

Here you'll find the true Swedish dream: wide open landscapes, clear air, and nature that reveals its unique beauty in every kind of weather. A place to breathe deeply, to slow down, to simply be.

Depending on the season and the mood of our chickens, you can also enjoy delicious products directly from our farm: fragrant sourdough bread, fresh eggs from our special hens, and seasonally grown vegetables. Everything is completely natural, organic, and made with love and dedication.

Our journey to Sweden

For almost 30 years we have been traveling to Sweden, this beautiful country, so peaceful, unspoiled and incredibly relaxing in its own unique way. At some point, it became clear to us that we didn't just want to be visitors, but that we wanted to live here.

So we took the plunge and moved from Germany to Sweden, to our farm in the middle of the forest. Our children rode through the woods, we started cultivating the garden, and step by step built a life for ourselves here.

Over time, our little houses by the lake have become special places for travelers who want to experience the real Sweden: peace, nature, and simply switching off.

We are Michael and Claudia, nature lovers who enjoy being personally available for our guests. We live in the forest ourselves, just a few kilometers away, and are always reachable if you need anything. We're also happy to share our best tips for this special area.

Living by the lake, eating from the garden

Wenn die Sommerabende am Sävensee langsam warm ausklingen, beginnt die Zeit der kräftskiva: Krebse, frisches Brot, kalte Getränke und lange Abende unter bunten Lampions direkt am Wasser. Unsere Ferienhäuser liegen nur wenige Schritte vom See entfernt – mit eigenem Zugang, Platz zum Baden, Angeln oder einfach zum Abschalten. Im Sommer und auch im Spätsommer haben wir noch freie Zeiten. Sichert euch euren Aufenthalt am Sävensee. #visitsweden #schwedenliebe

✨Heute Nacht ist der Himmel bunt über uns.✨ #schweden #auroraborealis

Sweden is covered in a blanket of snow ❄️ a true winter wonderland! If you want to experience the magic of a Swedish winter, we offer cozy lakeside houses at Lake Säven in Tämta. Enjoy cross-country skiing, horseback riding, peaceful winter walks through untouched forests, or a cozy winter grill at the beach… and end your day with a relaxing sauna by the lake. 🇸🇪✨ welcome ❄️🫎🇸🇪

🌿💧 Wild, powerful, peaceful, and yours to explore. Just a few kilometres from our cabins, Fluxfallet awaits, a 40-metre waterfall where the Biståsabäcken creek plunges off Fluxberget, wild in spring, frozen in winter ❄️💦 Start your adventure at Stensjön’s bathing spot and follow the 3 km marked trail through peaceful forests and stunning views over Mollabygden. At the top, you’ll find a grill spot and a perfect picnic view. 🔥 Want a quicker visit? There’s also a closer parking area near the top of the waterfall, just a few hundred metres’ walk. But be prepared: at the waterfall it can be steep and slippery, especially after rain or in winter. Take it slow, and wear good shoes! 🇸🇪✨ Thanks to Allemansrätten, Sweden’s Right of Public Access, we can all enjoy places like this. Just remember: ✔️ Stay on the marked paths ✔️ Take your litter home ✔️ Park only where allowed ✔️ Respect the landscape 📍Fluxfallet, Molla | 📏Trail: 3 km or shorter walk from upper parking | 🍂 Best in spring or after rain #Fluxfallet #VisitSweden

God Morning from Sweden 🫎☕️🌲 #schwedenhaus

Wie jedes Jahr kommen die Kinder zu Weihnachten nach Hause – ins winterliche Schweden. Zurück auf den Hof, wo wir gemeinsam die Feiertage verbringen, wo es nach Gebäck duftet, die Tage langsamer werden und der Winter alles ein bisschen kuscheliger macht! Und weil Schweden im Winter einfach etwas ganz Besonderes ist, bieten wir unsere Häuser am See nicht nur im Sommer, sondern das ganze Jahr über an. Sogar mit Sauna, und dem See direkt vor der Terrasse. Auch der Strand ist gleich rechts nebenan. Wir versprechen ganz viel Gemütlichkeit! Wenn ihr euch auch nach Winterruhe, Natur und einem echten Schwedenhaus sehnt, meldet euch, oder klickt auf den Link in unserer Bio. Wir wünschen euch „en God Jul & gott nytt år!“ Willkommen in Tämta Claudia & Michael #schwedenhaus #schwedenliebe #visitsweden

Ever tried hunting for a Christmas tree with a horse in tow? 🎄🐴 Join our family’s wonderfully chaotic trek through a snowy wonderland. We found not just one, but several ‘attitude-filled’ Christmas trees in our forest, perfect for the farmhouse in Mollaryd and our guests at house Kilstrand. Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! ❄️🌟 #ChristmasAdventure #WinterWonders #visitsweden #visitscandinavia #sweden #sweden_photolovers #christmastree #horselove

Exited for our new project/ tiny house? Hopefully it will be available soon for our nature-loving guests. Your neighbours will be the animals of the forest, our three ducks, the fishes in our little lake, some goats and sheep. And perhaps one or another chicken, depending on whether they respect their fence. #sweden #nature #tinyhouse #tinyhouseonwheels #farmlife #bauwagen #schweden #visitsweden

Another night of a spectacular and magical sky🌟 #auroraborealis #northenlights #sweden #naturephotography #alingsås #herrljunga #vårgårda #borås #tämta #vacationinsweden #visitsweden

There are many legends about the northern lights, …. The northern lights, or the aurora borealis, are most often seen in Northern Scandinavia - but the last year we have seen this beautiful phenomena a few times in our area. It’s actually more usual in our area then people think. Catching them in action takes a bit of patience and luck, as the light spectacle is a fleeting event and you also need to know when and where to get your best shot at taking in the aurora borealis. Though catching them is never guaranteed, you can check the latest conditions with 30-minute forecasts of the lights show from the Space and Weather Prediction Center which is based on real-time data. The Northern Lights are the result of collisions between gaseous particles in the Earth’s atmosphere with charged particles released from the sun’s atmosphere. Head north.. Look To The Northern Horizon ….Avoid The Full Moon…Go Somewhere Dark.. good luck 💚🌟 #aurora #autoraborealis #northenlights #north #scandistyle #scandinavianhome #vacationinsweden #cottagestyle #naturephotography #naturelovers #sweden #westsweden #alingsås

Here is a little goodbye waving post to the winter holidays. We wish all of you a happy new year! @gaberel_hoansten took the chance to greet the new year with a refreshing bath in the Sävenlake, the first of January. #sweden #winterbad #icebath #alingsås #winterholiday #visitsweden #vårgårda #winterinsweden #scandinavian #northernlights #herrljunga #schweden

Moody autumn atmosphere at the lake🍂 #sweden #autumn #visitscandinavia #swedennature #naturelovers #naturephotography #ａｅｓｔｈｅｔｉｃ

Autumn is such a lovely time of year, but too often we let the busyness of life keep up from truly enjoy it. Fall seems to go so quickly, and before you know it winter is here and the cabin fever sets in. This year, don’t let winter sneak in without enjoying all there is to love about fall. Fall offers you the chance to unwind, explore nature, and enjoy other sights and smells that only the fall season can bring. 🦔We recommend to eat dinner outdoors for the last few times, even if it means wearing a knitted sweater. Go apple picking, and bake apple pie.. there are so many ways to enjoy this lovely season. 🐌🍂📖☕️🐿🌻🦔 🍁📚 #applepie #autumn #swedennature #visitsweden #autumnvibes #fallseason #schweden #schwedenhaus #schwedenurlaub #hausamsee #tämta #borås #höst #scandistyle #scandinavian #schwedentrip #schwedenzuhause #cabinlife #cabinliving #cabininthewoods

When September rolls around, and sadness that summer is over mixes with the feeling of happiness that life can slow down just a bit - we also realise that we perhaps already have taken the last swim in the lakes for this season… we certainly have picked the last strawberry’s many many weeks ago.. the trees are heavy of fruit.. the leaves are getting colourful…and the weather moody… the air is crispy and if you are barefoot for a too long time you’ll get cold.. well.. the autumn is a fact! Let’s embrace it! #visitsweden #kantareller #autumn #aesthetic #schwedenhaus #sweden #naturelovers #adventurenthusiasts #scandinavian #skandinavienreise #borås #tämta #sjuhärad #västragötaland #schweden #herbstliebe

Are you planning your autumn-vacation? I have an idea! Come to Sweden and enjoy nature at it’s best! 🇸🇪🍂🐌🐿🦔🌻 #adventuretime #mushroomlovers #visitsweden #schwedenurlaub #sweden #swedennature #swedenfood #schwedentrip #fishing #chantarelles #autumn #ａｅｓｔｈｅｔｉｃ #aestheticnature #adventure #forestlovers #forestbathing #forestlife

We were on a chanterelle safari. The warm but humid air allows the mushrooms to grow quickly. Many hide exactly where golden birch leaves can tan them, but who seeks shall find! Later we had a big harvest in the garden. The now colder August nights invite us to dance in the mist and cause dramatic sunsets. The most delicious autumn meal is the mushrooms fried in butter, with a dash of cream and fresh herbs. Special thanks to our regular @iza_bella9990 for the harvest help today. 🐌🌲🪵🐿🍂🌲🍄🌾🪵🦔 #sweden #chantarelles #forestlovers #forestfruits #selfgrowth #visitsweden #schwedenhaus #scandinaviandesign #scandinavianhome #swedenhouse #cottagestyle #mashroomhunting #schwedenurlaub #schwedenherbst #schwedennatur #naturelovers #natureaddict #kantareller #mohairgoat #farmlife #aesthetic #cute #sunset #instagood #kantareller #odla #permaculture #permakultur #mygardenmoodboard #mistyforest #foggyforest

When the sky and water harmonize, unique atmospheres arise. Nature alone does amazing things for free. Did you spot the ducklings? They haunted small Moskitos on the lake-surface, a very nice and refreshing summersnack before supper. 🌻In the background you can spot our farm 🌱 #visitsweden #urlaubinschweden #schwedenhaus #schwedenurlaub #schwedentrip #schwedenliebe #schwedentipps #scandinavian #lakelife #naturephotography #naturelovers #naturliebe

Summertime is always very busy! We are drying herbs, berries, fruits and vegetables from the forest and the garden. We have harvestingparties almost every day, and try to make good use of all the delicious, healthy goodies. Sometimes it’s hard to take advantage of the beautiful nature because of all the projects and everyday life at the farm. To find time to relax a little more is not always that simple. But honestly we just love this eventful times and hope that our vacation guests have a relaxing summertime! #vacation #sweden #schwedenhaus #schwedenzuhause #schwedentrip #schwedenurlaub #ferienhäuser #scandinavian #scandinaviandesign #gardenlife #farmlife #farmhousestyle #naturelovers #naturephotography #visitsweden

It’s harvesting-time! We wish all of you a lovely summer! Claudia & Michael #ferienhaus #schweden #schwedenhaus #sweden

Yesterday our summer guest from house Kilstrand visited us on our farm. They helped us to put the ducklings to bed, and to pet the lamps. It was a lovely evening! Did you know that our guests can buy fresh, seasonal vegetables from our farm? Also, you can buy delicious eggs from our Hedemora hens. This landrace is said to be the most cold hardy chicken in the world. They have silky feathers and are very colourful and beautiful! They do always help us in the garden and are very social and friendly 🐓 #permaculture #gardening #visitsweden #schweden #schwedenzuhause #schwedenhaus #schwedenurlaub #vacationinsweden #hausamsee #farminglife #farming #permakultur #schwedenliebe #naturelovers #nature

A little spring summary 🐝🌿 #ａｅｓｔｈｅｔｉｃ #springtime #sweden #sweden_photolovers #schwedenhaus #schwedenurlaub

Correct me if I am wrong, but if I do remember right, we only had one rainy day the last month! Can you imagine? We are waking up by birdsong and sunshine almost every day, and it’s only march. Here is a little summary of last week, among others, Claudia enjoying a cinnamon bun. ☀️🌱🐝☘️🌼 #frozenlake #winterart #aesthetic #aestheticphotography #astridlindgren #sweden #visitsweden #cutecabin #cabinlife #cabininthewoods #borås #scandinavianhome #stuganvidsjön #fritidshus #schwedenhaus #schwedenliebe #swedenimages #sweden_photolovers #spring #schwedentrip #schwedenzuhause #zimtschnecken

A little recap from our winter holidays in house Kilstrand. We were so lucky being able to celebrate this Christmas together, talking about childhood memories we collected at the yellow beaches of the Säven lake 🚣🏼‍♂️🌿🐟 🎼Och där mörkgrön granskog lyser bakom den, Står den röda lilla stugan invid grinden, Som i forna dagar var mitt barndomshem 🌲 #sweden #countryliving #familytime #swedishwinter #winterwonderland #christmasholidays #countrylife #livetpålandet #simpleliving #simplelife #scandinavianstyle #scandinavianhome #farmhousestyle #visitsweden #swedenimages #sweden_images #schwedenhaus #schwedenurlaub

The sun is so strong and warming, and we have already noticed many signs of spring! There are nine lambs in the stable, the cat just gave birth to five beautiful kittens, the days are getting significantly longer, which also means that our chickens are now very diligent to lay eggs. Which entails that if you are one of our coming guests you can now order and buy fresh and tasty eggs from our farm. It does of course depend on the daily effort from the hens but they are very happy about the warmer months making an entrance. Nevertheless, the nights are still cold, and the lake is still frozen. But did I already mention that we spotted the first cranes the other day? #astridlindgren #sweden #visitsweden #cutecabin #cabinlife #cabininthewoods #borås #scandinavianhome #snow #stuganvidsjön #fritidshus #schwedenhaus #schwedenliebe #swedenimages #sweden_photolovers #winterwonderland #visitsweden #springvibes #farmlife #farmersmarket

Just breathe ❄️ Icebathing was part of our morning routine during the winter holidays in Kilstrand. Ah well, “routine” was a bit of an exaggeration, we just tried it a few times. Not very relaxing actually, but certainly refreshing. ❄️ #icebath #nodicliving #visitsweden #scandihome #scandinavianstyle #cabinlife #sweden #icebathing #swedishnature #naturelovers #isbad #winterwonderland #schweden #schwedenhaus #schwedenurlaub

Swipe for some icy art: During the holidays we had some pretty chilly days and we took walks on the lake. Isn’t it fascinating how beautiful and multifaceted frozen water can look like? Here are some closeups ❄️ Ps. Stay tuned for the ice-bathing-post 😁☃️ We wish all of you a happy new year! 🎊 #frozenlake #winterart #aesthetic #aestheticphotography #astridlindgren #sweden #visitsweden #cutecabin #cabinlife #cabininthewoods #borås #scandinavianhome #snow #stuganvidsjön #fritidshus #schwedenhaus #schwedenliebe #swedenimages #sweden_photolovers #winterwonderland #minus10degrees

Godmorgon! Dessa kalla nätter…en tunn hinna av is på sjöns yta, en stor men avtagande måne och de långa mörka morgontimmarna som tar tid på sig att omvandlas till dag och färger himlen i pastellfärger… precis denna stämning skapar något slags lugn och tillit i mig. Jag delar denna bild, med förhoppning om att alla ni får en gnutta sinnesro i all julstress. Många gillar inte vintern, i mångas tycke är den tung, mörk, kall och outhärdlig. Många dagar känner jag så med.. men om man hittar dessa vackra stunder i en vintervardag.. blir längtan till sommaren mindre påtaglig. Det är ju visst rätt vackert här, alla årstider om året. Det är enbart upp till mig att se det fina i det mörka bara. Apropå, imorgon väntar vi årets mörkaste dag - får se vilka ljusglimtar vi får skåda då🕯❄️🤍 📸 @gaberel_hoansten @gabriel_hohenstein #sweden #vinter #visitsweden #scandihome #scandinavianhome #schweden #schwedenhaus #pastell

Have you ever heard of the näcken? It is an Scandinavian folklore, that the näcken was male water spirit who played enchanted songs on the violin, luring women and children to drown in lakes or streams. However, not all näckens were necessarily malevolent; many stories indicate at the very least that näcken were entirely harmless to their audience and attracted not only women and children, but men as well with their sweet songs. Stories also exist wherein the näcken agreed to live with a human who had fallen in love with him, but many of these stories ended with the näcken returning to his home, usually nearby a waterfall or lake, like in this case. On this beautiful picture you can spot @gaberel_hoansten If you are lucky you can hear him play the violin.. always when the sun is setting late summer evenings 🌙 This time he was photographing the beautiful twilight though, and the foggy surface of the lake. But he still does remind of a näcken right? #sweden #outdoorlife #swedencountryside #naturephotography #outdoorphotography #naturelovers #swedenimages #swedenvacation #swedennature #swedensummer #swedenlakelife #cabinlife #cozycabin #schwedenliebe #scandinavianstyle #schwedenhaus #schwedenurlaub #visitsweden #cutecabin #cabinlife #cabininthewoods #scandinavianhome #stuganvidsjön #fritidshus #schwedenliebe #swedenimages #sweden_photolovers #lake #westcoast #näcken #mythsandlegends #nix #nøkk

Autumn is a time to slow down, get cozy, and take a deep breath. Each season has its own charm. The fall months are a adventure for the senses.

🔔Sometimes curious guests asks us where we find all these delicious mushrooms. But here in Sweden it’s very common to never tell someone about your own little “kantarellställe”. But around our small cottages are enough mushrooms for those who are willing to make an effort. So here are some advices: 🐿Try to get away from the usual tracks. 🌲The deeper you go into the forest, the better. 🦔Get down on your knees, it’s always worth to take a close look. 🪵When you find one, you’ll usually find several more. 🌾Chanterelles are experts at hiding, you have to search underneath the moss, old tree branches and colourful leaves 🍁 #sweden #chantarelles #forestlovers #forestfruits #selfgrowth #visitsweden #schwedenhaus #scandinaviandesign #scandinavianhome #swedenhouse #cottagestyle #mashroomhunting #schwedenurlaub #schwedenherbst #schwedennatur #naturelovers #natureaddict #kantareller

The leaves are getting colourful, the days shorter and the nights colder. Although the days are still warm and sunny, the weather can now change quickly.

Vårdagjämningen🌅 Today, the night is exactly as long as the day. It’s called the “Vernal equinox” - there are two moments in the year when the Sun is exactly above the Equator and day and night are of equal length. The vernal equinox also marks the beginning of spring!

A clear sign that spring is coming. About 900 cranes have so far arrived at Hornborgasjön! And more they will become. Every spring, thousands of cranes gather here to make their spring-dance.

Who else is longing for spring now? 🌼🌞 📸 @michael_hohenstein Location: House Kilstrand, Tämta #summer #spring #season #sunnysweden #cabininthewoods #swedenvibes #scandinavianhome #scandinaviandesign #landscapephotography #landscape #sjuhärad #westcoast #borås #tämta #sunnyday #swedenhouse #lake #outdoorlife #naturelovers #naturehouse #scandinaviancabin #cabinlife #housewithaview

Summertime in Sweden. It’s ten o’clock pm. If you listen closely you can hear the birds singing. It was a stunning night in the end of May. We took a little Picnic with us, and watched the colors of night taking over the sky 🍓 #exploremore #naturelovers #outdooraddict #summervibes #pinksky #sunset #canoe #outdoorlife #summermemories #adventure #sweden_photolovers #swedennature @outdoorsjuharad @swedenimages @westsweden #nightphotography #eveningsky #latenight #traveltheworld #latenightswim #lakelife #cabinlife #cabininthewoods

This winter is very cold, and many lakes are frozen. Some popular activity’s here in Sweden are Ice-fishing, cross-country skiing, ice bathing, skating or ice driving! Driving on ice is risky business, but also very funny and teaching. ❄️🚙💨❄️ Just remember, ice is never totally safe, and be aware of the safety advices and rules. #icedriving #swedishnature #swedishwinter #winteractivities #swedenimages #car #ford #visitsweden #swedennature #schweden #winterwonderland #winterschnee #adrenaline #zugefrorenersee #travelsweden #schwedenliebe #naturelovers #adventure #outdoorlife #driftcar #cabininthewoods

Who is it that wanders the countryside on a snowy peaceful night in winter? It is the Tomten, a kindly whitebearded troll who whispers the promise of spring to all the animals in the farmyard. 🌲🪵❄️ - Astrid Lindgren / The Tomten #sweden #visitsweden #nature #snow #snowlandscape #wildlife #mountains #winterwonderland #scandinavia #astridlindgren #tomte #cabinlife @visitsweden #cabininthewoods #vacation #adventure #forestlovers #forestlandscape #wald #schwedenliebe #sälenfjällen

✨❄️Daily routine during the Christmas holidays: First of all, make a fire and coffee ☕️ Start the day slowly and calm.. realise it’s already noon and begin preparing the brunch 🥞 take a walk before it gets dark outside.. and of course bake cookies in the evening. #holiday #swedenhome #swedenholiday #cabinlife #cozyhome #cozyvibes #cozycottage #swedennature #christmas #christmasholidays #fritidshus #houseinthewoods #swedishnature #swedenwestcoast #visitsweden #westsweden #coffee #fireplace #fireplacecooking #cookies #ferienhaus #schwedenliebe #jul #weihnachten #bakinglove #familytime #reels

Santa Lucia's Day is celebrated on December 13th in Sweden. 💫✨ 🕯This lovely Lucia is presented by @rebeckabartholdsson “Natten går stor och stum nu hörs dess vingar i alla tysta rum sus som av vingar. Se, på vår tröskel står vitklädd med ljus i hår Sankta Lucia, Sankta Lucia.” ✨ The Lucia tradition is as integral to Swedish culture as are midsummer and crayfish parties. The tradition is about 400 years old. #visitsweden #sweden #outdoorlife #outdoorphotography #naturelovers #swedenimages #swedenvacation #swedennature #cabinlife #cozycabin #schwedenliebe #scandinaviandesign #scandinavianstyle #schwedenhaus #lucia #luciatåg

Today we celebrate Lucia in Sweden – The Lucia tradition is as integral to Swedish culture as are midsummer and crayfish parties. The tradition is about 400 years old. Traditional dishes are gingerbread biscuits and an S-shaped saffron bun called a “Lussekatt” – a treat almost as classic as the cinnamon bun. To drink, you’ll sip little cups of “glögg” (mulled wine), served with almonds and raisins. Coffee was served traditionally and it’s still an option.

Welcome to the real Sweden

Our houses are located directly next to the forest and right by the lake.

Here you'll find the true Swedish dream: wide open landscapes, clear air, and nature that reveals its unique beauty in every kind of weather. A place to breathe deeply, to slow down, to simply be.

Depending on the season and the mood of our chickens, you can also enjoy delicious products directly from our farm: fragrant sourdough bread, fresh eggs from our special hens, and seasonally grown vegetables. Everything is completely natural, organic, and made with love and dedication.

Living by the lake, eating from the garden
