Fantastic lakeside cottage
Lovely, comfortable lakeside cottage with beautiful views. Watching the full moon reflect over the lake was very special. Well-equipped cottage and plenty of space for us. Quiet location and safe spaces for the children to play. It was possible to swim, kayak or fish at the lake. Bikes rented locally were good fun. There were also lots of things to see and do in the area. Friendly, helpful landlord who provided good information about the property. We are really looking forward to staying here again :)

Fantastic cottage by the lake
We had a wonderful week here and the cottage had everything we needed for 2 adults and 2 children. The views over the lake from the balcony were stunning at all times of day and we enjoyed the peace and quiet of the area. Relaxing on the balcony in the evening watching the sun go down was lovely. The owner was very friendly and helpful and gave us all the information we needed. The cottage was clean, comfortable and well-equipped with plenty of space for us all. Although the cottage is one of 9 the others are used only by their owners so it was very peaceful - only 2 others there. As the cottage is on a corner plot there was space outside for the children to play and the lake was easily accessible being opposite the cottage. We borrowed a kayak to paddle down the lake and find a beaver dam and we swam in the lake. The drying cabinet in the bathroom came in handy for the wet gear. The petrol station at the end of the lane sold milk, bread and basic provisions. Next to that was Camping 45 where you could book activities such as guided hikes or fishing trips. We also walked and cycled in the surrounding forest and 'stood on top of the world' at Hovfjället Nature Reserve which was just a few minutes drive away. Nearby Torsby had 3 big supermarkets, an off-licence (Systembolaget), shops, tourist office, swimming pool and an indoor cross-country ski centre. We had such a great stay in this cottage that we have booked again for summer 2018!

Ruhe und Erholung mit Aktivitäten
Wir sind mit zwei sehr aktiven Jungs für sieben Tage nach Schweden gereist. Ziel war Erholung und Ruhe für die Eltern und Natur und Erlebnisse für die Jungs. Dies ist in dieser traumhaften Lage vorhanden. Landschaft zum Wandern, See‘n für Kanutouren und Trails für Mountainbikeing. Die Unterkunft ist ausreichend ausgestattet, jedoch ist das Inventar etwas abgenutzt (Kühlschrank, Küche) Für die andren Mieter mit fünf Hunden im Nachbarhaus kann der Vermieter nichts, dies ist für zwei Kinder jedoch sehr störend. Die drei Kanus sind super, jedoch stimmt das Verhältnis 6 Betten zu drei Schwimmwesten nicht. Ein Grill ist mit Ausstattung vorhanden und direkt am See kann man Feuer machen. Der Sprung ins kühle nass vom Privatsteg an jedem Morgen war immer ein Höhepunkt. Danke an den Vermieter für die schöne Zeit.

A wonderful place to explore Värmland
The cabin was very nice, comfortable and clean. The appliances worked perfectly but are a little out of date. The owner is extremely nice and helpful and the communication with him was perfect. He tried very hard to make us feel at home and to give us a perfect holiday. All in all the price is very good for the cabin and the surroundings are great! The view of the lake from the porch is great!

Nice practical holiday house in good landscape
The house is a appropriate accommodation for making holiday in a beautiful landscape. We have found all what we needed. Using the canoes is a very good possibility to explore the nice lakes in front of the house only some meters away. You can lift them very easy to the water. The walls in the house are renovated beautiful. To sit on the terrace is also very nice. For at maximum 6 people it could be a little bit to tight for eating and using the bath. For 4 people it fits very well. The facilities are a little bit old but in order so far. The mattresses in the beds should be renewed. Sleeping was to hard for us.

Hyggelig hytte med god beliggenhed ved søen og lige neden for Hovfjället. Madrasserne er tynde, opvaskemaskinen kan lække vand hvis den ikke fyldes korrekt og man skal tømme en beholder for kondensvand fra vandvarmeren løbende, men det er stadig værd at anbefale.

Schöne Stuga in värmländischer Natur
Ein wunderbarer Ort zum Erholen, es hat alles gepasst, es fehlte an nichts in dieser schönen einfachen Stuga. Wir haben eine sehr schöne erholsame Woche mit vielen Spaziergängen und Wanderungen verbracht. Der Kontakt zum Vermieter war bestens. Immer erreichbar. Großes Danke an Ed und Elisabeth.

Schwedenhäuschen in Värmland
Vorgefunden haben wir ein einfaches, hübsches Häuschen. Das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis ist stimmig. Die Endreinigung übernimmt jeder Mieter selbst und ich hatte den Eindruck, dass unsere Vormieter das Haus so hinterlassen haben, wie sie es selbst vorfinden wollten, ebenso haben wir es auch gemacht, also blitzsauber. In der Küche ist alles vorhanden, was man benötigt. Die Lage war für uns perfekt, ruhig, idyllisch..... Einzig die Matratzen aller Betten dürften beizeiten mal ausgetauscht werden. Wir haben dort eine herrliche Zeit verbracht.

All was good
We booked in a very short-term during the Easter holidays on Sunday and entered the house as planned on Monday. Ed replied on time and was very kind and supportive with helpful information. We had pleasant 3 days at Oresby. The house had a lot of things (TV, Playstation, fully equipped kitchen, enough beds, vacuum cleaner...). We didn’t miss a thing. Big thank you to Ed, we can recommend his house.

Rigtig fin
Fint hus, god størrelse. Der er hvad man skal bruge. Smukt og meget stille område med en fantastisk udsigt over søen. Dyner, puder, sengetøj og håndklæder medbringer man selv. Der er en dejlig brændeovn, husk bare selv at medbringe brænde. Brænde kan evt. Købes ved ICA supermarked i Torsby. Sengene er desværre MEGET ringe!!

Sehr schönes Ferienhaus am See
Wir hatten einen tollen Aufenthalt nördlich von Torsby. Lange mussten wir allerdings das Zubehör für die Boote suchen. Die Boote liegen unterhalb des Hauses direkt am See. Das Zubehör befindet sich in dem Schuppen rechts! Allerdings war das mitgemietete Ruderboot mit einem Zahlenschloss verschlossen und augenscheinlich nicht funktionstüchtig. Die Führungen für die Ruder fehlen.

schöne woche in einem schönen haus
das haus ist durch eine wenig oder kaum befahrene straße vom see mit dazugehörigem boot getrennt. das objekt war gut eingerichtet und man fand alles was man braucht. die gegend und die ruhe waren herrlich. man kann baden, angeln, wandern, schwimmen oder einfach den urlaub geniesen. wir würden das haus uneingeschränkt weiter empfehlen. in der naheliegenden tankstelle kann man für 15,00 euro eine angelkarte erwerben die dann 14 tage gültig ist. auch ist der kontakt zum vermieter nett und man bekommt eine gute anfahrtsbeschreibung. wenn wir mal wieder in der gegend sind, würden wir wieder hier buchen.

gute Unterkunft - aber Fewo-direkt klappt gar nicht
Schönes, geräumiges und gut eingerichtetes Haus, gute Lage, freundllicher Vermieter. Leider gab es mit Fewo-direkt jede Menge Probleme, konkrete Antworten kamen sehr selten oder waren oft unlogisch - und die Nachfrgen liefen immer wieder ins Leere. Das ist für einen Anbieter, der von sich die Meinung hat, zu den besten in Deutschland zu gehören, einfach unwürdig.

Das Ferienhaus macht vieles gut, lässt kaum Wünsche offen und bietet ausreichend Platz . Der tolle Ausblick auf den See und der Badesteg mit Booten lassen kaum Langweile aufkommen. Das Preis-Leistungverhältniss vom Haus passt, auch wenn nicht alles neu ist. Das gleich gilt für die Lage. Ob Wandern, Mountenbike, Angeln oder Pilze suchen, hier findet man zahlreiche Möglichkeiten. Also, da kommen wir gerne wieder.

Schönes Ferienhaus, tolle Lage
Das Ferienhaus liegt direkt an einem See, es ist nur eine Straße dazwischen, die aber kaum befahren ist. Im Haus ist alles vorhanden, was man braucht. Die Schlafzimmer sind kleiner, dafür ist ein großer Wohn- und Essbereich vorhanden. In einem Boots Schuppen am See sind Ruder und Paddel sowie Schwimmwesten für Kanu oder Ruderboot Fahrten. Wir (2 Erwachsene und 2 Kinder 5 und 15) haben uns dort sehr wohl gefühlt und gut erholt. Der Vermieter antwortet sehr schnell auf Fragen und ist sehr hilfsbereit.

Schönes Haus am Wasser
Anfang September konnten wir bei fast ausschließlich strahlendem Sonnenschein eine sehr schöne Ferienwoche in dem hübschen Ferienhaus verbringen. Das Haus war sauber, die Einrichtung sparsam, aber in Ordnung, und auch mit 6 Personen wird man dort zurechtkommen. Da Mittelschweden schon recht dünn besiedelt ist, sollte man sich auf häufiges Kochen einrichten, denn Restaurants gibt es nicht in der Nähe. Als Liebhaber der Einsamkeit waren wir zunächst überrascht, das dort 9 solcher Häuser auf einem Areal untergebracht waren. Da die anderen Häuser in der Nachsaison aber leer waren, hat das nicht gestört. Für Familien mit Kindern ist Nachbarschaft ja vielleicht auch ein Vorteil. So konnten wir viel vor dem Haus sonnen, die Kanus benutzen, Pilze suchen (die es massig gab), Lagerfeuer machen und sogar auch täglich baden (in 16-17 Grad warmem Wasser). Am meisten vermisst haben wir ein paar Liegen, die man draussen in der Sonne hätte benutzen können.
