Hidden gems with island charm
Yngslandet
Sweranda’s Yngslandet is a cozy cottage by Lake Yngen, a simple and peaceful base in the Värmland countryside. Here you can enjoy swimming, fishing, and canoeing—or just let the days pass by at a gentle pace with a view of the water.
Naturbyn
Naturbyn offers lakeside accommodation where water is an integral part of your stay. Here you can stay right by the water’s edge or on a floating houseboat on Lake Eldan. You can cook over an open fire, fall asleep to the gentle lapping of the waves, and wake up to the mist slowly lifting over the lake.
Fyrhus
Stay in the charmingly renovated lighthouse keeper’s house in Kristinehamn, just a stone’s throw from Lake Vänern. Here, historical character meets modern convenience, with proximity to swimming spots, walking trails, small kiosk cafés, and the Picasso sculpture. Accommodation that suits those who want to combine the archipelago feeling with the pulse of the city – right in the middle of Sweden’s largest lake.
