We are a family of four who fell in love with the Kungsberget area several years ago when seeking an escape from city life. What started as a vacation home quickly became our passion project as we discovered the incredible natural beauty and recreational opportunities in every season.
Our two children have grown up enjoying summers swimming in the lakes, autumns foraging for berries, and winters skiing at Kungsberget. We've created countless family memories here and are delighted to share this special place with our guests.
We use this home ourselves during our vacations, which means we've put extra care into making it comfortable, functional, and welcoming. We understand what makes a stay enjoyable because we've experienced it firsthand - from having proper kitchen equipment for cooking family meals to ensuring comfortable beds after a day of outdoor activities.
We take pride in maintaining our property to high standards and are constantly making improvements based on our own experiences and guest feedback. Our goal is to provide you with a genuine Swedish countryside experience in a home that feels like your own.
We're always happy to share our local knowledge and favorite spots in the area to help you make the most of your stay, whether you're interested in outdoor adventures, relaxation, or exploring local culture.
