Skälsmara Vacation Rentals

"Two factors made our stay at this house so memorable: 1) The house sits on the beautiful island of Stegesund (no cars, only a small dirt road) that overlooks gorgeous water just outside of the town of Vaxholm. The July sun bathes the house in warm light all day long. You get the benefit of feeling away from the city while only being a 5 minute ferry/boat ride away from Vaxholm. Very peaceful! 2)Anders, the host, was amazing to work with. From the booking process through to helping us organize...

"We were a family group of 10 and had plenty to do and plenty of space on the property. The game room, 2 pools, and, of course, the lake kept everyone busy. Numerous restaurants and grocery stores are nearby. The host, Johan, is amazing and very helpful. All in all, a 10 out of 10 property!"

"Small cute cottage with everything you need. Close to bathing and rowbost on beautiful little lake. Lovely Swedish forest with flowers all around."

"Overall the property was good. Would have been better if there had been light weight doonas and bath mats. Host was very nice and helpful."

"Th cabin itself is adorable. Nice location, but not too close to the water. Some amenities do not function as well as may be assumed. For example, the door to the sauna does not fully close from the inside. Overall the sauna is very below average. Also, the shower often does not have hot water. This is something to look out for. On the other hand, the fireplace is amazing. The kitchen has everything you could ask for. The terrace is also beautiful - we had a lovely time drinking coffee out there...

"Therese's home was so warm and welcoming. She was there at the house to meet us when we arrived and was responsive throughout our visit. The house was perfect for our family of 5. Each child got to have their own room with wonderful living space for us to hang out together in. The public transportation system was terrific (once we got it figured out). The bus is a short walk away from the house and allowed us to get to wherever we needed in Stockholm. (We bought the unlimited 7-day SL Access...

"Lovely location beautiful views from the cottage and on a clear day or night it's breathtaking You'll need a car as it's a bit remote but that's part of its charm"
