Renovated 1911 Archipelago Cottage

Welcome to our newly renovated cottage in the northern Stockholm archipelago. Here you’ll stay cozy and surrounded by nature, with meadows and forest right outside the door — and within cycling distance of swimming spots and a small kiosk in Köpmanholm. The house is especially well suited for a couple or a small family looking for a simple, warm and charming archipelago base.

You’ll have two large decks (morning sun to the east, evening sun to the west), a lush garden with a trampoline, and plenty of beautiful walking trails both through the forest and along the water.

THE HOUSE

The cottage is practical, bright and cozy, with large windows. The kitchen is fully equipped, and it’s easy to carry your meals out to either deck for outdoor dining.

Up in the loft (with full standing height) there is one 180 cm double bed and one 90 cm single bed.

In the guest room there’s a sofa bed that folds out into a 160 cm bed. The room has large windows and direct access to the back veranda — perfect if someone wants to sneak out with a morning coffee before the rest of the house wakes up.

OUTDOOR AREAS & GARDEN

West-facing deck (back): evening sun, dinners, long conversations, and that feeling that the day never really has to end.
East-facing deck (front): perfect for breakfast — morning coffee and a sunny start to the day.

The garden is lush and family-friendly, with a large trampoline. If you feel like moving, there are lovely walking trails through the forest and along the water.

THE AREA

From the cottage it’s about a 10-minute bike ride to Köpmanholm. There you’ll find a kiosk, a small beach, and a jetty with a swim ladder. This is also where the archipelago boats stop — taking you to Stockholm or further out into the archipelago for day trips.

We have two older bicycles you’re welcome to borrow during your stay (they’re a bit wobbly, but they roll just fine).
