Best time ever in this cute little house!

Thank you for the amazing stay at your wonderful little house! It's been decorated and redone with so much love for details and truly felt like a home for the time we were there. We really loved the entire house with it's Swedish Charme, the garden, the porch and the little forrest right next to it. It's the ideal place to go to when you don't have a car but want to see the countryside of Sweden and still be able to get around. The connection with the bus from Arlanda airport is great and easy to use and if you download the app of the bus company (SL) you can buy tickets on there, look up connections and all of that in English ;) Rimbo is about 30 min on the bus from Norrtälje and 70 in bus and metro from Stockholm. So it's easy to make great day trips from there and be home in the evening :) The lake which is about a 10min walk away is beautiful and great for swimming and the woods around the area are great for hiking and exploring! There are a couple of supermarkets in walking distance so it's easy to do shopping even without a car. We loved to stay there and Carina and Roger were great hosts! Thank you so much!!

Klein und fein

Wir hatten wunderbare Tage, alles was wir brauchten war da. Besonders hat es uns in der Morgensonne auf der kleinen Terasse gefallen. Günstige Lage für Ausflüge in die Scheren, nach Uppsala und Stockholm (auch mit Bus möglich). Carina und Roger sind sehr freundlich und haben uns gute Tipps gegeben. Am See sind fußläufig zwei Badeplätze erreichbar. Wir können das Häuschen sehr empfehlen.

Mysigt och lugnt boende i gammal vacker stuga

Hyrde stugan med min dotter som var på läger i Rimbo. Vi fick ett fint välkomnande av värdparet och trivdes otroligt bra. Ett stort plus var att vi fick plocka och njuta av bären i trädgården. Kunde inte fått en finare lägervecka!

Rustgevend

We hebben een schitterende reis achter de rug met een verblijf in het gezellige steenmakershuisje. Alle voorzieningen waren aanwezig, supermarkt, restaurants en het meer op loopafstand. De eigenaars waren heel vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Ook het busnetwerk is er prima geregeld. Een auto is geen noodzaak om hier te verblijven.

Erholsame Tage nahe Stockholm

Ruhiges Urlaubsquartier

Wir haben es uns ausgesucht und wurden nicht enttäuscht! Wir waren tagsüber unterwegs, haben das Umland und vor allem die vielbeschriebene Hauptstadt Schwedens Stockholm besucht, wollten jedoch zum "Feierabend" weit weg von Trubel und Lärm sein. Und das konnten wir hier. Eine einfach eingerichtete Ferienwohnung ohne Luxus aber mit allem ausgestattet was wir brauchten und mit netten hilfsbereiten Quartiergebern. Wir haben gern auch das Auto stehen gelassen und das dichtgetaktete Busverkehrsnetz genutzt. Geschäfte fürdie Waren des täglichen Bedarfs sind in wenigen Minuten zu Fuß erreichbar. Vielen Dank für die freundliche Aufnahme!

Very nice comforteble and cosy house close to the Swedisch cost

The hosts Carina and Roger give us a warm welcome and show us the very nicely decorated and comfortable house. They are always available for questions or anything we might need. It is situated in a quiete area. From this little town Rimbo we are in no time in Stockholm, in Uppsala or in Norrtelje where you can make a boat trip. In a 5 minutes walk you can swim in the lake and around Rimbo you find nature, culture - rune stones from the Viking age - and lots of possibilities for walking, running, biking and enjoying the real Swedish life. We enjoyed our stay here a lot.

Herrlich! Die Leichtigkeit des schwedischen Sommers genießen ...

Hier lässt sich der Sommer in Schweden genießen: Schnuckeliges, frisch renoviertes typisch rotes schwedisches Haus mit ausreichend Platz, supernette, hilfsbereite Vermieter mit netten Gesprächen. Einkaufsmöglichkeiten im Ort, nur 5 Minuten zur nächsten Bushaltestelle und von dort geht es in überschaubarer Zeit (30 bis 75 Minuten, je nach Zielort) und kostengünstig nach Stockholm, Uppsale, Norrtälje, zum Geburtsort der Heiligen Birgitta von Schweden in Finsta, ... - wirklich sehenswerte, lohnende Ausflugsziele. Frühstück auf der Veranda, Baden im nahegelegenen See - sehr zu empfehlen! Ein Haus, das keine unserer Wünsche offen gelassen hat! Ganz lieben Dank und liebe Grüße!

About the host

Hosted by Carina or Roger

We - Carina and Roger - moved out from Stockholm to Rimbo in 2014, in a desire to have additional living space and the all-important garden. Carina is a professional translator who works from home, and Roger is now retired.

Why they chose this property

We bought this property, which is adjacent to the one we live on, when is came on the market in 2017. It seemed natural to join them together and increase the outdoor space. Accordingly, you might meet us in the garden, which you of course are free to use also.

What makes this property unique

The small cluster of houses where we live were built around 100 years ago by and for the employees at the nearby brickworks. Most of the houses are traditional Swedish wooden cottages painted red with white gables.
