About this house rental
Nestled in the heart of the Småland countryside, with Lake Vidöstern glistening on the horizon, lies a modern functionalist gem where architecture and nature blend seamlessly. This is a place designed for the simple life, where large sliding glass doors blur the line between indoors and outdoors and open up onto a spacious wooden deck. The deck is perfect for lazy days—furnished with comfortable seating, sun umbrellas, and cooling shade sails.
Inside, the cottage is characterized by an airy functionalist style with open spaces, where the large living area flows naturally into the patio. The magnificent floor-to-ceiling windows fill the house with light and beautiful, green views, creating a striking sense of transparency toward the surroundings.
Just a stone’s throw away—more precisely, five meters from the cottage—lies the main house where the host lives. The property serves as an open, shared gathering space where the large, lush garden, the entrance area, and the bountiful greenhouse are fully shared. Here, you live side by side with the host, who moves naturally across the same grounds and in the shared courtyard. This brings a social and lively dynamic to the living space, where the patio and the garden nooks become part of the shared outdoor living area. The main house also features a lovely sauna located on the other side; this belongs to the host’s private sphere but is generously shared and open for guests to use during their stay. The host is thus always close at hand to help out or offer tips on the local area.
Scattered throughout the shared garden are little philosophical nooks with seating for a moment of reflection. In the greenhouse, you can pick sun-warmed tomatoes or simply pause to breathe in the scent of herbs, and the summer’s floral splendor invites you to pick your own bouquet for the dinner table. With Lake Vidöstern within easy reach for a swim and nature experiences, time slows down here in the countryside. This is a place where it’s best to do absolutely nothing—sit back, let your thoughts wander, and enjoy life just as it is.

10 / 10Outstanding·Aug 2026
We stayed at Leif’s house for 10 days with 2 adults and 2 children (ages 5 and 7). It was very nice, and Leif is a very pleasant host. You live on the same property as Leif, but you rarely run into him.
We also had some nice conversations. The kids really enjoyed it, too—there’s plenty to explore in the garden.
The large, west-facing terrace with the garden is absolutely lovely in the evening.
We’d love to come back.

The vacation home is really very cozy and has everything you could need for your stay. But we especially loved the terrace with its view of the beautifully landscaped garden and the lake.
