This is a very beautifully located, well equipped old bakers cottage, far above the ordinary, by beautiful lakes with sun all day long (facing west). The cottage tentant has, upon agreement, also access to a wood fired bath tub and an exclusive wood fired sauna, both located by the beach!
The old timbered house, previously a bakers cottage, shares the yard with the landlords house and a beautiful mill and a forge. On the old mill property there are in total a dozen buildings, which give the farm a character of genuine Dala-atmosphere in 19th century style.
This is a stay suitable for those really wanting peace and quiet, right in the midst of nature. Secluded location!
