A warm welcome to our beautiful house called “number eleven”. It is a house which is very typical for the time era when it was originally constructed. It is a picturesque 19th century home with one part of the house being built way back in the 18th century. The house was completely refurbished in 2016 and you will feel the history of the house but with all the modern attributes.
The house is located in the small village of Fryggestorp, located 4 kilometers outside of Linneryd, in the middle of the beautiful Småland countryside. The closest major city is Växjö which is only 30 minutes away and you will have to spend 20 min in the car to reach the towns of Tingsryd or Lessebo.
The house has two floors, four rooms, a large modern kitchen, and two restrooms both of them with showers and an amazing living room with a view. If you are lucky you will be able to spot wild animals and even moose from your lounge chair.
Your closest neighbour will be the forest and the open meadows and we live “close by” (by Småland means), only 200 metres away from you. We are here to secure that your stay will be a great experience.
You will be able to befriend the highland cattle cows and other animals nearby to your house. It is only 700 metres to the closest lake and you will also be able to borrow a boat, if you want a plastic boat instead, it is available for rent at a nearby campsite.
If you would like to take a swim we recommend the swimming area that is just three kilometres from the house.
