This accommodation is covered with S-certification for enhanced security
Stugknuten S-certification means that your landlord has chosen to provide you with as secure a transaction as possible. This accommodation must be paid for when you make your booking, but the rent is not actually paid out to your landlord until you have checked out. This extra security only applies if your booking and payment is made via Stugknuten.

Welcome to our cottage at Sjöbygget just outside Mariefred.
The main cottage consists of a kitchen, living room, toilet and shower, as well as two bedrooms. On the property there is also a small guest cottage with two beds and a toilet. Altogether there are seven beds.
The kitchen is spacious and equipped with a stove, oven, microwave, dishwasher, fridge, and freezer. The living room sofa has room for many. In the living room you’ll also find a dining area (with an extension leaf), a TV, and a fireplace.
The main cottage has a cozy covered veranda with a sofa. Just below it is a larger deck with a big dining table and a parasol. The guest cottage also has its own small deck. The property has a large lawn with room for play, and some equipment are available to borrow. In the area there is also a larger open field suitable for ball games.
About 200 meters from the cottage you’ll find a quiet, charming swimming area with a small beach, jetties, a barbecue spot, and tables. Both cottages are pet-free and non-smoking. We appreciate guests who treat our neighbors as if they were their own.
If you want to vacation with friends or family but not have them stay with you, we can recommend our neighbor who rents out their lovely cottage.
Final cleaning is mandatory and performed by an external service at a fixed cost.
Bookings are confirmed after personal contact.
