Few images say “Sweden” as clearly as a red wooden cottage with white corners at the edge of a forest. The deep red paint, falu rödfärg, has been used on Swedish houses for centuries, and against green summer meadows or fresh snow it is simply beautiful.
Warmth, inside and out
A real stuga is about comfort without fuss: painted furniture, rag rugs, a crackling fire, a veranda for morning coffee and, ideally, a sauna for cold evenings. In Håltebyn you can experience exactly that at The Cozy Guesthouse at Åsen, with room for up to six guests.
