The Blue House in Björboholm close to boat & bath

The Blue House Vacation home for 4 persons in the annex av an old mission church built in 1926, located in Björboholm at the large Lake Mjörn, in close vicinity to Gotheborg and Alingsås.

Björboholm and the large Lake Mjörn

At the turn of the 18th/19th cent. Björboholm was a popular watering and summer vacation spot for the well-to-do population of Göteborg. A train brought the people from Göteborg to Björboholm (30 km), who wanted to spend the summer months in the Swedish country site. Björboholm is located next to the large Lake Mjörn. It is the 17th largest lake in Sweden and has a length of 20 km. Old Björboholm lies partly on a romantic Peninsula. The view from the look-out point is breathtaking. There are 3 little islands, namely the Island of Love, of Faith and of Hope. The visitor can, with his/hers own boat, check out the small and large islands. Björboholm has its own hidden bathing bay. One is almost always alone there, especially on a summer morning. A paradisical place for swimming!

The Blue House
Björboholm has many beautiful, stately wooden homes dating back to the turn of the cent. and to the twenties. In the center there also existed a mission church, built in 1926, which was active until the eighties. In the mid eighties it was converted into a home. Until 2006 we have been the owners of this unusual home, called the `blue house`by the people of Björboholm. Our living room was once the loction for festivities like weddings, confirmations, Sunday religious service, christening ceremonies and many holidays. The dining area was once the place of the altar.

Our guests have the attached rectory and the little guard room at their disposal with private entrance, separate garden and parking. The ground floor offers a cozy eat-in kitchen with entry to the garden and a living room with a wood-burning fireplace. The upper floor has 2 bedrooms and a large bathroom. The are also dishwasher, washing machine, dryer and heat. 64 qm are just right for 4 people.

Additional attraction:
In good weather one can barbeque freshly caught fish. Please note: we have also a small motorboat! (rental is available after reservation). The old train rails were turned into a bike path, moving along the lake, offering lovely views onto the water. We recommend to take with you your own bicycles. After 4 km one has reached Gråbo, one can purchase at the local supermarket just about everything, even fresh fish in its own little fish hut. The bike path ends in Göteborg (30 km). In of rain, (which is a frequent occurrence in this region), there are wonderful Swedish activities to make up for it: berry and mushroom gathering in the Björboholm forest. This forest begins ca 200 meters behind the house. The collected treasures make a great meal. In addition we find in the area many small fishing and bathing lakes. Swedes like to fish during rain. An alternative to spendig a rainy day in a rainy forest is to catch a bus to and visit the metropolis of Göteborg. The busstop is in front of the house, practically and reaches Göteborg`s main station in ca 50 minutes. In good weather there are numerous opportunities for an excursion. We recommend highly a trip to the west coast or a boat ride to Göteborg`s Islands.

Wir haben hier eine tolle Zeit verbringen dürfen! Richtig viel Platz für eine Familie, sehr gemütlich und typisch schwedisch eingerichtet. Waschen, Trocknen, Spülmaschine, alles ist vorhanden. Die Gastgeber sind sehr nett und haben viele Tipps für die Region abseits der üblichen Reiseführer. Wir konnten tolle Wanderungen machen, sind in vielen Seen geschwommen, und für Regentage ist Göteborg nicht weit weg. Wir kommen gerne wieder! Liebe Grüße aus dem Ruhrgebiet --------------------------------- We had a great time here! Plenty of space for a family, very cozy and typically Swedish furnishings. Washing, drying, dishwasher, everything is available. The hosts are very friendly and have lots of tips for the region that go beyond the usual travel guides. We were able to go on great hikes, swam in many lakes, and Gothenburg is not far away for rainy days. We would love to come back! Best regards from the Ruhr area in Germany

Wir waren sehr glücklich darüber, wieder einmal in dem einzigartigen und so liebe- und stilvoll eingerichteten „Blauen Haus“ unsere Ferientage zu verbringen... Schon die Vorfreude darauf brachte uns in Urlaubsstimmung: zwei Wochen "echt" in Schweden zu leben. Wie schön war es, dort anzukommen und diese herrliche Atmosphäre zu genießen… Wir haben uns wieder total wohl gefühlt und wunderschöne Tage mit unseren Kindern und Enkeln verbracht. Was für ein Glück, dass es nach Göteborg, wo eine unserer Töchter mit ihrer Familie wohnt, nur 4o Minuten dauert! So hatten wir alles, was man zur Erholung braucht: Familientreffen mit Besuch aus und nach Göteborg, Ruhe, Musizieren, Seen zum Schwimmen, Wälder zum Pilze sammeln, Radwege zur Entspannung, Ausflüge an die unglaublich schöne Schärenküste... Und die Gastgeber Sybille und Magnus sind so herzlich, aufmerksam, unkompliziert und großzügig ! Vielen Dank liebe Sybille und Magnus! Gerne kommen wir wieder! Ulrike und Klaus, Veronika und Paula

Wir waren letzten Sommer zum ersten Mal in diesem wunderbaren Ferienhaus und hätten uns nicht wohler fühlen können! Alles hier ist super gemütlich und liebevoll eingerichtet. Es mangelt an NICHTS. Die Küche z.B. ist besser eingerichtet, als meine eigene. Man kann sich also perfekt selbst versorgen. Es ist himmlisch ruhig (- wir kommen aus Berlin). Die Umgebung ist wunderschön, man kann endlos wandern und viele kleine Seen erkunden. Karten dafür liegen bereit, im Wohnzimmerregal, ebenso wie Spiele und Bücher. Aber Sybille und Magnus sind auch superlieb beim Empfehlen der besten Wege, so wie sie überhaupt super hilfsbereit und absolut zuverlässig (schon in aller Kommunikation davor, Wegbeschreibung usw.) sind !! Wir haben uns zu jeder Zeit bestens durchgelotst und willkommen gefühlt! <3 Wir können dieses Häuschen nur 100%-ig empfehlen!

Wenn man, wie wir, freiwillig zum dritten Mal in einem Haus Urlaub macht, nachdem wir in den Jahren dazwischen zu Kurzbesuchen da waren, muss da schon etwas besonders sein! Wir lieben die wundervolle Atmosphäre bei und mit Euch und genießen jedes Mal jede Stunde im Haus, in der Gegend, mit Euch und allen Freunden sehr. Deshalb freuen wir uns auf das nächste Wiedersehen und können nur jedem Euer wunderbares Ferienhaus wärmstens empfehlen!
