As one of only three houses on Hissö island, this well-equipped cottage is located on the shore of a large, scenic plot, with a view of Kronoberg's castle ruins and the sunset over Lake Helgasjön. The location is private with meadows, broadleaf forest and impressive old pines. Whether you are on holiday or working or a student, you will find peace here and recharge your body and soul so that you have more energy for everyday tasks.
The cottage has an open floor plan and cozy interior design. The bedroom has two good box spring beds and TV with the six free channels. The kitchen with dining area has a stove, oven, microwave, dishwasher, fridge, freezer, coffee maker and kettle and all the kitchen equipment you will need. Living room with sofa bed. An extra bed can be arranged. The the wood stove may only be fired by long-term guests. The bathroom has a WC, shower and underfloor heating. A hall with washing machine, tumble dryer, drying rack. Internet via mobile broadband with 4G Wi-Fi.

During the summer months, you can fish with the rowing boat. Växjö has very beautiful cycle paths, so feel free to use the two bikes that are included. Or swim and hike on the island or to Evedal's bathing area and campsite nearby. In winter, you can go ice skating on the lake or cross-country skiing and downhill skiing nearby if there is snow.
Växjö is 15 minutes away by car. There is a bus stop 300 m from the cottage. Växjö is a fairly large city with a lot of culture such as concerts, museums, festivals. There are good restaurants and cafes, shops in the city and at Grand Samarkand. Växjö is a university city and a famous sports city with many sports facilities that you can use. The children have several fun playgrounds and activity facilities. Växjö is surrounded by a pleasant, small-scale cultural landscape in beautiful nature, so there are very good opportunities for outdoor life.
NOTE See below under "Amenities" for more tips on what you can do in the Växjö area!
Växjö is centrally located in Småland and is suitable as a starting point for day trips to the Kingdom of Glass, several moose safari parks, national parks and nature reserves, Kalmar and also Öland, which, however, is best in summer. In summer, Astrid Lindgren's World in Vimmerby is the obvious destination for families with children. I recommend a visit to some glassworks in the Glasriket all year round. Småland is world famous for its art glass and you can watch the craftsmen blow glass or try it yourself. The glassworks sell premium or second grade glassware cheaper than you can buy at home.
My husband and I wish you a warm welcome and we hope you will enjoy your stay!
