Holiday rentals in Stråken

We had a wonderful vacation with our family and grandparents. The children enjoyed playing outside on the trampoline, boating, fishing and even paddle boarding in the sun. For the adults enough seating in and around the house to enjoy the silence, the birds and the beautiful surroundings out of the wind and in the sun. Beautiful hiking opportunities nearby and the sauna was nice with convenient showers directly adjacent. However, it is useful to know that the second bathroom is not present in the main house. This was no problem for us. Stefan was remotely quick and very helpful and friendly in contact. Our holiday started cold, but inside it was very cozy with the soapstone wood stove for which there was enough wood available. On the lake you can fish with the boat with anchor, useful to know that fishing up to a maximum of 60 meters from the side is quite possible. We enjoyed it.

Fredrik's home was a joy! The expansive view across Lake Vänern included bird life, small boats and magnificent sunsets. We felt right at home - the kitchen was well equipped, the living area was cozy and the bedrooms were comfortable. Outdoors, we enjoyed it all - the dock and small row boat, the sauna and hot tub. Fredrik's home was private, impeccably clean, uncluttered and filled with natural light. We also discovered many tranquil, easy trails in the surrounding area that took us to other points along the lake. Some of the trails were even within walking distance of Fredrik's home. Groceries, local restaurants and a few cafés were only 15-30 minutes away by car. Coming from Annapolis, Maryland in the USA, some of the hikers we met on the trails asked why were in this part of Sweden. Our answer was easy - it's a magical area and we loved staying in Fredrik's place!

The place in Hestra was truly wonderful — calm, cozy, and beautifully located in nature. We really enjoyed our stay; it was relaxing and felt just like home. Everything was well-organized and comfortable. I’ll definitely give it a great rating and would love to come back again!

We spent almost two weeks in Alvasjö with a family of 8. The place is nothing less than magic. A lovely house, renovated just the way it should be, leaving the historic parts and gently adding modern needs. Sara and Ed were really helpful, always there when needed and very easy to contact. Excellent communication. The area is beautiful, went canoeing, rowing, fishing, mountainbiking, SUP, hiking, Sauna ob the lake, mushroom and blueberry picking. It was not „just another holiday“, it was more than what we all dreamed of when it comes to „holiday in Sweden“. Will certainly come back, a must go when you want to experience a comfortable and exciting holiday in the middle of wonderful swedish nature. Many many thanks for everything, Sara and Ed!

We were 2 families; 4 adults and 5 children who stayed in Lena & Daniels place. The house was amazing and we felt right at Home. All amentities that we needed were there and it was definitely over our expectations. We will definitely come back again. 💫💫

Read information before booking is best thing to do

We had the lovely week in the cabin, quiet surroundings with great nature, we were 4 people and 2 dogs. The dogs could run around in the enclosed garden and we could relax either on the patio behind the house, or in front of the house overlooking the field. We can't wait to come back for New Year. Stupid mosses are ready for a trip be about 5 km. walk in the woods and moss, easy with dogs.

Anas is a great host, willing to go above and beyond. Accommodation is super too.

We had a wonderful stay in this small cottage. The hosts were extremely friendly and accommodating, which made our experience even more enjoyable. The atmosphere with the warm fireplace was very relaxing, and the surroundings offered stunning opportunities for exploration and walks. We will definitely come back!
