About the holiday home

Beautiful, well-maintained house on the fine farm Mulestad located just outside the pleasant village of Odensvi. Here you live close to the lake in scenic surroundings and at the same time have proximity to the coast.

The house has two lovely balconies with outdoor furniture. From the balcony at the house's entrance you have a view of the yard and from the more secluded one at the back you can enjoy the view of the extensive meadows. There is also a nice balcony at the front.

You have a large, bright family room with a dining area. The kitchen is fresh with modern equipment.

The beautiful curved staircase leads up to the upper floor, to the pleasant living room with sofa group.

You sleep in two bedrooms, one with two single beds that can be put together to make a double bed, the other with a single bed. The fourth bed is in the living room upstairs.

You have a fresh bathroom with toilet, sink, shower and washing machine.

The whole house is in good condition and several of the rooms have underfloor heating. The house also has a fiber connection for fast data traffic.

At Mulestad farm there are horses, sheep, chickens and a cat. In front of the house, large, nice grassy areas for play and games.

The farm is surrounded by large beautiful meadows and forests with lots of wildlife such as moose, roe deer, deer, foxes and hares. In addition, fine grounds for berries and mushrooms in the right season.

There are many beautiful lakes for swimming in the surroundings, but the nearest lake Oppsjön that you can see from the farm is not a swimming lake.

It is about 8 km to the nearest village of Odensvi and here there is a shop, a small cafe and a large, nice municipal beach with a shallow sandy beach, jetties, bathing ladder, playground and outdoor gym. You can rent a rowing boat in Lake Trehörningen, about 4.5 km away, where you can try your luck at fishing or take a relaxing rowing trip. Fine hiking trails, the Tjustleden, as well as cycle paths and a mountain bike course are available in the area (more info: vastervik.com).

Mat-torpet Solliden in Odensvi is a KRAV-certified farm with a café, farm restaurant and farm shop that is open on weekends. Between Odensvi and Blackstad is Hängesten, an awesome rock block formation that got its, to say the least, strange place from the Ice Age. Kayaks can be rented at Björkfors kayak rental

You are close to exploring the coast, where you can enjoy lovely sea bathing and a variety of lovely resorts and cities.

The slightly larger community of Gamleby by the sea is about 22 km away and here there are nice sea baths, shops, restaurants and cafes. Here is also Garpedansberget, an exciting sculpture trail with a variety of sculptures taken from local legends about goblins, nymphs, elves, fairies and dragons.

You are also close to the popular Loftahammar, which is known for its nice baths, its beautiful nature and archipelago.

A must for the younger ones is perhaps a visit to Astrid Lindgren's World in Vimmerby or Wirum's moose park where you can enjoy the moose up close.

Visit the cozy summer town of Västervik with lots of charm, city life, sights and events during the summer. Here you can find the popular Lysingsbadet with nice baths and Gränsö Castle, where you can enjoy a lovely spa day with lunch. From Västervik you can also take the ferry to the islands of Idö and Hasselö.

About the area

About Sverige

Skerries, city or skiing in Sweden?

Experience the unique Swedish skerries. Rent a canoe or kayak and paddle among the thousands of small islands with raw and naked rocks or the bigger, forest-clad islands that are easy to reach from the main land.

If you are looking for a bit more adventure then take a trip to Gothenburg with the amusement park Liseberg with fun for the entire family. Stockholm is the place to go, if you love a city with beautiful nature, lots of history, culture and beautiful, world class design. If you are looking for an active winter holiday in Sweden you will find both cross-country and alpine skiing in the Swedish mountains.

Holiday home in the Swedish nature

All of our holiday homes in Sweden are surrounded by the scenic Swedish nature. DanCenter has numerous options across Sweden from Skåne, Småland, near Stockholm and in the Swedish skerries north of Gothenburg. Sweden is a country full of oppositions and therefore also full of opportunities for a holiday suited just right for you and your family.

Do you want to experience Sweden through the eyes of the children's author Astrid Lindgren? We can offer you the classic Swedish holiday home experience. Book an authentic, cosy, small, red wooden cabin on the edges of a pine forest along a beautiful lake in open country side. Your holiday in a traditional cabin in Sweden can help you reduce stress and forget all your troubles.

Go on a luxury holiday in Sweden

As a contrast to the idyllic cabin in Sweden you can also book a lovely, big holiday home. DanCenter offers different luxury holiday homes with room for the entire family. In Sweden we have big holiday homes fitting the entire family or groups up to 20 people. These include houses with swimming pool and whirlpool that you can enjoy both during summer or winter. Take a dip and cool off with your family on holiday in Sweden and the sun shines from a clear sky. You can also enjoy the warm water and a glass of champagne in the outdoor whirlpool on a cold winter's night. Or during the autumn break when the children splash in the pool and you enjoy the beautiful views of the colourful leaves falling from the trees.

Sweden is water, water and water

Sweden has been admitted to UNESCO's list of world heritage for its unique coastline. Middle and north of Sweden have countless rivers, lakes and streams criss-crossing the country. Sometimes you get the feeling that the country is swimming with only forests and fields acting as links between rivers and lakes. This is particular noticeable for the middle part of Sweden where the ice age left plain tracks. Thousands of lakes fill the gorges created when the ice retracted to the North.

At the exact place where the river Mälaren with fresh water meets the salt water from the Baltic you will find Stockholm spread across 14 islands and islets. But there is more: The Stockholm skerries just a few minutes sailing from the capital is comprised by a total of 24.000 islands and islets.

The Siljan lake is located in the middle part of Sweden called Dalarna. The lake and the surrounding towns are regarded as the historical centre of the country. From here, Sweden gradually becomes more raw and deserted. In Norrland, the only sound you hear in the enormous forests is from the roaring rivers.

For centuries, the rivers have been used for transporting logs to the coast. And where the rivers flow into the ocean is where the first settlements were founded several thousands of years ago. Höga Kusten in the north-eastern Sweden is permitted on UNESCO's list of world heritage for its unique coastline.

Sweden is a hit with the active family

Sweden has countless activities for children, young people and old people. It all starts when you book a holiday home or a cottage in Sweden, so the entire family has a god basis. Afterwards you have lots of room for social intercourse, fun and games as well as instructive activities for the entire family. The Swedish mountains provide plenty of opportunities for skiing during the winter. Sweden has lots of family-minded ski resorts. If you have booked a holiday home near the cities Stockholm, Malmø and Gothenburg, you will find plenty of activities. Bring your family to the zoos, amusement parks, museums and more.

Experience Sweden's mighty forests

Sweden has beautiful forests from north to south. To the south, in Skåne and Småland, where DanCenter can offer you a big selection of holiday homes and cabins, you will find the hardwood forests. This area is also known for its moose-safaris, a unique nature experience. Such an experience is a guarantee for talks when you return to the holiday home or cabin. Småland is also perfect for bike rides, horseback riding, canoeing and fishing.

If you have booked a holiday home in the middle or northern part of Sweden, you will find the landscape dominated by deep valleys, plateaus and vast fir and pine forests. Here you can bring your family berry and mushroom picking, enjoying the beautiful flowers in the spring or the may different colours of the leaves in the autumn. Take a refreshing dip in the forest lake and catch a fish for dinner. While the children play in these beautiful settings, mum and dad can prepare the freshly-caught fish in the open-concept kitchen and the grandparents can relax with a glass of wine on the sofa. If you have plans of going to Sweden, book a holiday home with DanCenter Holiday Rentals.

Midsummer in Sweden

The midsummer party in Sweden is truly unique. To many it is a symbol of the lightness, the light and the life force symbolic of the Nordic summer. Midsummer in Sweden is the biggest celebration of solstice in Scandinavia.

When the most Swedish of Swedish parties approach, the whole country is exited. Midsummer is traditionally a feast celebrated with family and friends, but if you are a tourist you are welcome to join the festivities. It is celebrated all over the country - by the coast, in the skerries, by idyllic lakes, in the mountains or one of the islands. All is good, as long as there is plenty of pristine and diverse nature around.
