We had a great stay at the perfect house of Hanna and Eddie in Sjötorp. The house is really lovely, perfectly equiped and extraordinary tastefully decorated. You can follow the sun around the house and find a seat on one of the large tables... The Götakanal, the Lake with the harbor, the playing ground etc. and bike rental are within a short walking distance. Hanna and Eddie are not in Sjötorp themselves but are really caring that everything is fine and are available for questions any time. The recommendation for activities helped a lot to have a perfect stay at the Vänern in Sweden. It will not be the last time that we were there. Thanks a lot

We really enjoyed our stay in this lovely old property. The lounge/diner/kitchen is a huge space yet the way it has been zoned gives a cosy feel to the separate seating areas. Sjötorp is a perfectly nice small town and we enjoyed cycling and jogging along the Göta Canal and local hikes in the forests. The darts board on the shed door provided great entertainment and brought out Grandad’s competitive side when had a family darts competition. Had the weather been kinder we would have made more use of the outside area, but we were happy to enjoy the large indoors space.

We spent three nights at Hanna's and Eddie's Summer Residence in Sjötorp. The booking procedure was perfectly simple and extremely well arranged by Hanna. Upon arrival we were welcomed by a personal dedication and additional information from the landlords. The residence is in a perfect condition, you see the owner's attention to detail everywhere. The house offers enough place for two families. You can absolutely rely on the pictures you see on the website.

We were delighted with this property. Very friendly and helpful owners, nice quiet location just a short walk from the lake and facilities of Sjotorp (not a big town by any means but small shop, few places to eat and drink, bike hire etc.). Property is spacious, bright, comfortable, well maintained and extremely well (and generously) equipped. Plenty of outdoor seating options, depending on time of day and very good wifi (which the children were particularly happy about). We would not hesitate to recommend.

We arrived in Sjötorp after an approx. 3 hour trip by car from Stockholm Arlanda airport and stayed in Hanna's and Eddie's house for one week. Upon arrival, we were amazed by the size of the combined living-dinning-kitchen "room" which appears to be even larger than already expected from the pictures. We were also very positively impressed by the cleanliness of the house upon arrival, the comfort of the beds, the overall furnishing of the house in general and last but not least the good internet connection. All-in-all, we find that the descriptions of the house are very accurate representing the actual situation very well. Communication with Hanna was very easy and pleasant and hence it is a pleasure for us to recommend this place to others.

We spent 9 wonderfull vacation days in this spectacular summer house in Sjötorp. Once an old cinema, it is now new renovated and gives space for an extended family. We were only in pairs and enjoyed the big space only for us very much. The furniture is young, aesthetical and in a very good condition. You can everywhere notice the owner's love for industrial design. The house is very comfortable and clean. The beds are good and even suitable for people with back problems as me. There is also a big garden with nice garden furniture. The contact to the owner was very kind and obliging, always struggeling for our personal comfort. At our arrival a bottle of good redwine was already waiting for us. :-) The surrounding nature with the lake Vänern and the Göta canal is very nice and gives possibilities for rest and a lot of different activities as well. We made many trips by bicycle or car and were lucky with the weather. Our highlight was the celebration of midsommar in Sweden. We recommend this summer house for 100 %!
