About this house rental
Beautiful house on lake Brunnsviken. The old part of this building is from 1860, and was originally built as a ticket station and café for the steam boat traffic on Brunnsviken. The house was completely renovated in 2006 and in 2011 an extension was built. There is a private small dock and a sit on top Kayak for your excursions. There are plenty of lovely spots for sitting outside in the garden or on the wooden deck.
The original building contains a living room/ kitchen with dining area and fire place. Great view overlooking the water from the dining table for 8 people. There is also a bathroom with shower and a sitting room with an additional fireplace and a comfortable sofa that folds out to a double bed. From this room the stairs lead down to the new extension. The lower level contains one master bed room, two smaller, rooms, office area, second entrance, laundry room and a bathroom of high architectural quality. There is a wooden deck along the two sides of the extension.

Truly had a wonderful stay. The property, accommodations and location is great. Christoffer was a pleasure to communicate with and was always helpful.

A lot of space for 5 persons. Well equiped, we missed nothing when it comes to cooking and in terms of entertainment. Bicycles and kajak still work, but could use a bit of maintenance. Downtown Stockholm can easily be reached by public Transport. The private lake access ist a real high light. Noise from the highway near by is not much of an issue. Traffic can be heard but ir is more of a background Sound. We enjoyed our stay.

What a wonderful place to stay, loads of room, beautiful location and fabulous host.
The house is placed right on the lake, a couple of mins walk from the airport shuttle bus stop. It’s 5 mins walk from a couple of restaurants and 10 mins from a shop that stays open until 10. It’s bright and clean and so very comfortable. Once we worked out the heating it was warm and snuggly. It is well equipped and has loads of storage and two showers.
Christoffer our lovely host even met us in the pouring rain from the bus and popped out to the shop to get us some essentials so we didn’t have to walk to the shop!
Just to reassure those of you who are worried about road noise and bedroom doors. All the downstairs bedrooms have sliding doors to close them off and are nice and private. There is a sleeping space upstairs which you need to walk through to go downstairs. The road noise you don’t really hear indoors and is only what is to be expected in a city.
I can’t recommend this property enough, I felt so comfortable and relaxed we all want to return in the summer!

Excellent property, great communication with hosts before and during our stay. The property is very clean, stylish and quirky and very comfortable for our party of 6 adults - note 2 used the bunk beds! It has everything you could possibly want including a very well equipped kitchen, laundry room and bikes! Whilst it is just off a main road once you step away from the path you are extremely well screened with trees and bushes. The road can be heard but is really a background hum and didn't bother us in the slightest. Excellent location in the edge of the lake - definitely recommend a walk or run around. Easy access to Stockholm by bus or train and super easy access to Arlanda airport with the airport bus stopping very near. Would highly recommend, thanks Christoffer and Ulrika for a great visit.

The house is beautifully decorated and we felt at home immediately. It was spacious for our family of four adults with plenty of amenities. The bus stop is right out front, 2 grocery markets within 15-20 min walk that had all we needed. The pedestrian and bike path out front is fantastic for walking or riding to appreciate the lake and the views.
The hosts were beyond gracious and were very helpful. Kristopher was fantastic at keeping us stocked with wood for the fireplace (gets a little cold in Sweden in the winter). He and his family were a treat and I would wish every host was this great! Thank you Kristopher and family for allowing us to enjoy your lovely home.

This house was perfect for our family! We loved being right on the lake and having our own dock for swimming or kayaking, and the big front and back yards for our son to play. But it's also great to be so close to the city. It was a great experience for us and we hope to come back and visit again!

This is a very LOVELY property. Complete with bicycles and kayak to use. Perfect place to rest and retreat. The highway is on one side, but honestly that didn't bother us as at all.
There is a tire swing, swing set for kids.
The house itself is perfect--large, comfortable. quaint. beautiful. I stayed with my two toddlers and my au pair. There are two bunk beds and 1 queen bed in the house.
The things I didn't like:
-took a while to get into the city. Mostly if you didn't time yourself perfectly with the bus. the bus is just a 2 min walk, but if you missed it, you have to wait another 20 mins, leaving us sometimes a full hour to get into the heart of stockholm to do things we wanted to
-the bedrooms downstairs were HOTTT. I went last week of Aug, and it was very difficult to sleep because of how how it was. The house was advertised as AC, but it's only AC upstairs. I imagine this is not a problem the rest of the year, but please be aware if you are traveling during peak summer. Several birds also had their nests on top of the master bedroom, so I was woken up by 5:30 am everyday whether I liked it or not (despite ear plugs). I personally liked this (being out in nature, etc), but you may not. Again, I think this is just during the peak summer.
Either way, we had a lovely stay. The hosts were very responsive and nice. I would highly recommend it!

This is a very nice and comfortable holiday house, next to a lake and next to a highway. If you want to visit Stockholm all the time and stay in the house, you will not experience problems with the highway noise. If you see the pictures of the garden and the lake view, you imagine yourself sitting there peaceful and relaxed. But in reality the noise of the highway is there all the time, quite loudly. If someone is in the garden and you try to communicate, you have to shout. If you want to read a book in the garden, you can listen to music on your Headphones. It took me four days to get used to the noise and when I left after a week it was not a nuisance anymore.
The information on Homeaway is not up to date. The house is comfortable, but the number of bedrooms is not accurate. There is one masterbedroom. There is one room with two bunk beds. Then there is a room with a sofa that could have two persons, but you have to walk to this room if you want to go from the living room to the bedrooms.
On the pictures there is a small boat, but the peddels for this boat we could not find. There is however a kayak, that is functioning and could be used to explore the lake Brunnsviken.
The location is great if you want to visit Stockholm. The public transport system is great in Stockholm, and within 30 minutes you stand in central Stockholm.
Stockholm is a beautiful city and I would love to come back.

I would highly recommend a stay at this beautiful lakeside home in Stockholm. It a gorgeous home with all of the amenities one could hope for. The owners were responsive and kind and the location was absolutely perfect for access to the city and to nature walks. What a perfect getaway. Our family could not have been happier.

We (family with 3 teenagers) had a great stay here. The house is quirky, clean and very well equipped. Lots of space. A couple of minor issues were quickly sorted by the owners. Despite being beside a busy road intersection, you cannot hear it at all in the house & are hardly aware of it in the garden. The garden is beautiful, leading down to the lake - we could kayak from here. Lovely in the early morning! Lots of swimming places around the lake, easily walked to on the footpath. Central Stockholm is very easy to get to, there’s a bus stop literally outside the house or the metro is only a 15 minute walk away (with a well stocked supermarket right beside it). Stockholm itself is, of course, a beautiful city, with lots to see & do. We would happily stay here again if we ever came back to Stockholm.

We had a great long weekend in the nice house in Hagaparken right by the water.
Super beautiful garden and very nice modern house with everything you could possibly need. We were mostly outdoors in the sun and grilled every lunch and dinner. By night we sat by the fire in the garden fire place.
We strongly recommend this accommodation!
Thank you Ulrika and Christoffer for letting us staying in your beautiful house!
Best regards / Jessica with the gang

I just left a few days ago this dream home and I already want to go back, it is a peaceful and quiet place, with a privileged location with lovely views toward the lake.
Lovely and cozy home, taking care of the small details, everything you need you have it, the kitchen is really well equipped, bedrooms, bathrooms, wifi, washer/dryer and a lot of life on the outside of the house, there was a barbecue with everything you need including bag of charcoal, the table in the garden where we had breakfast, the boat was a fun experience getting around the lake.
I had no car, and I had no need for it, there is a bus stop right in front, in 15 minutes you are in the city center, Ulrika and Christoffer were lovely and resolved all my doubts: how to locate basic services in the area, supermarkets, cafes and different ways to get to the city center from the house, I really recommend this place to anyone who wants to spend a few peaceful days in this beautiful city .

This is a great place, and we would recommend it highly to any couple or small family looking to spend time in Stockholm.
Our family (two adults and two-year old twin boys) spent two weeks here in June 2012, and we loved it. The home is spacious and tastefully decorated with lots of original art. The home is fully stocked with any amenity you might possibly need, including kitchen appliances, wireless, audio-visual equipment, washer/dryer, and so forth. It has two bedrooms, one master bedroom and a smaller bedroom for the owners' young daughter. If you have younger children, like we do, the second bedroom and adjoining play room are a life-saver. Our boys could sleep separately, but they also had a place to go to to read books and play with toys. A great yard, too.
Obviously, one of the most appealing aspects of this property is the location. It's located on the shore of Brunnsviken, which is hands down one of the most delightful places in Stockholm to be. Although the home is out of the city center, it is a short walk or bus ride to the T-Bana, which will take you pretty much anywhere. The convenience of public transportation links cannot be over-emphasized. The bus stop going the direction of the Bergshamra Centrum T-Bana station is literally right outside the front gate of the house, while the bus stop that drops you off from the T-Bana station is 100 yards away. The most direct bus comes every half an hour, so as long as you plan your trip with this in mind, it's a piece of cake -- 4 stops in 5 minutes, and you're there. Then, it's a 10 or 15 minute subway ride wherever you want to go on the red line. Mind you, we were often doing this multiple times a day with two-year old twins and a stroller, and we thought it was easy. I can only imagine how much easier it would have been without young children.
In addition to public transport, there is a Konsum grocery store at the Bergshamra T-Bana station, so getting groceries is easy. There is also a Hemsjop located a short walk away in the other direction. One of the best things about the house, at least for us, was Brunnsviken. This lake has some of the best running in Stockholm. It's a 7.5 mile loop around the lakeshore, which is beautiful and free of people. It's also a beautiful path to walk, since it goes through Hagaparken (the royal municipal park) and is populated with cute cafes.
Also, the owners, Ulrika and Cristoffer, are down to earth and extremely helpful.
