Mette's red guesthouse with white windows, a sun lounger and a summer garden

Åsen

The Cozy Guesthouse

A traditional red Swedish stuga at Åsen in Håltebyn, with a wood-burning fireplace, a shared pool and sauna, and room for up to six guests.

The Cozy Guesthouse is a classic Swedish countryside cottage with plenty of charm and history — the kind of place where it feels as if time has slowed down a little. Falu-red walls, white window frames, painted furniture and a crackling wood-burning fireplace create the feeling of staying with a friend rather than in a hotel.

The guesthouse sleeps up to six guests: one bedroom with a double bed, one with two single beds and a sleeping loft with a small double bed. It has a well-equipped kitchen, Wi-Fi and an outdoor barbecue area.

Guests share the seasonal pool (open 1 June – 1 September, 12:00–17:00) and the sauna on the property.

Your host is Mette, who is also the destination manager of Destination Håltebyn — someone who knows the forest paths, the lakes and the neighbours better than anyone. The Pool House next door can be booked at the same time for larger families.
