Seclusion by the lake, close to nature, sauna – a “wilderness vacation”

Are you looking for a private boat, a canoe, a sauna, drinkable lake water, and an experience of living in and with nature? Congratulations—you’ve come to the right place.
Your vacation home is situated on the shore of the small lake Gryssen, located between the towns of Avesta and Mora in the province of Dalarna—a true piece of the Swedish “wilderness.”

Here, you stay right by the water. The main cabin features a bedroom with one bunk bed, as well as a sleeping loft with two additional beds. An outbuilding on the property contains another bunk bed, and a seventh bed is located in the entrance area of ??the wood-fired sauna.

Please note that there is no hot water or shower, and the toilet is an outdoor privy (outhouse). The owner will provide a supply of drinking water upon your arrival; however, should you prefer not to carry water containers during your excursions, the lake water is perfectly safe to drink. The cabin is secluded and undisturbed; the final stretch of the journey requires a 600-meter walk or a 300-meter row across the lake.

The cabin is equipped with a stove and a refrigerator, both powered by LPG (bottled gas). You can charge your mobile phones using a small, connected solar panel. There is also a small portable generator available for use during short periods. Lake Gryssen is not large—measuring just over 1 km from north to south and 300 meters from west to east—making it perfect for a pre-dinner row, a bit of paddling, or a fishing trip with rod and line. A session in the wood-fired sauna, followed by a dip in the lake, is a magical experience; it’s hard to imagine feeling any cleaner or more refreshed.

If you are looking to truly unwind and live immersed in nature, you are in for a fantastic week.
