We live in a quiet area surrounded with beautiful nature just minutes from city life with culture, activities and shopping. Enjoy long evenings with daylight. In summer time the sun set at 11 pm and rises agin at 4 am. Our home is a nice and clean two story house (2500 sq Ft/240 sq m) with basement, a large garden, modern full equipped kitchen, large open dining and living room.
In the garden we have a trampoline and sometimes a heatet pool and a small jacuzzi (if the weather is warm enough). Use the Weber grill to have a nice barbecue.
We are living just 10 minutes by car/15 minutes by bus from city centre of beautiful Jönköping. A town with 120.000 people and a familiar atmosphere but offers a wide range of shopping and culture. You are close to nature if you like to go hiking, fishing, canoeing, horse riding, visit a moose park etc. Go on a day trip and explore the archipelago of Gothenburg , visit Scandinavias largest amusement park Liseberg, zoo, the waterpark Skara Sommarland or visit the kingdom of crystal - glas works.
If you like to play golf there are 5 golf courses in the area. Three within 5 min and two within 30 min. Sand Golf Club is an inland links course where the highest quality and availability is a key priority. A unique 18 hole course with a combination of the best of high dunes, sandy waste areas and deep bunkers. At winter you can choose between three different ski centers within 40 minutes by car. One smaller ski center is located in Jönköping.
If you want to eat good food with high quality, Jönköping has plenty of restaurants to offer. Lots of shopping. The opportunities in Jönköping to go for a swim is always close by. When it's getting colder and the day's getting shorter it's always nice to go inside for a swim in the warm pools. There are three indoor centers for swimming, working out, spa sections with warmer pools and saunas for the late evenings. Jönköping is surrounded of nice lakes if you would like to have a nice day at the beach or is skate in the winter.

“"The experience in Susanne's house has been fantastic and very successful. The location is perfect to visit many places and Sweden is beautiful country to discover. Susanne has been always very helpful and the house fabulous. We really thank her help and recommend everyone to visit it. Thanks a lot Susanne"”
“We enjoyed having a peaceful driving holiday. Beautiful countryside . Suzanne was a very good host and communicated perfectly.”
“We were delighted with our first ever trip to Sweden. It was a 'three generation' holiday, which really worked well. Suzanne overwhelmed us with her eye to detail and generosity. Four of us enjoyed the bikes, and the whole stay was spent appreciating a quieter, more rural existence than we usually have. Boules, Monopoly in Swedish, retro computer games and a movie kept us entertained on site, but most of all we were fascinated by the antics of Mike (we gave him that name!) - the automatic robot grass cutter who crept out and trimmed the lawn so silently. Having evenings where it did not get dark until after 10pm elongated our holiday fun. Our biggest surprise was the beach in town, amazing sandy shoreline stretching two kilometres, where we joined lively locals in sun-worshipping. At the end of the beach, away from town we discovered an amazing Rosearium, which pleased the senses. There was so much to do locally, we did not venture more that 40km from 'home'. So we will have to come again to see more of Sweden. When we got back to the UK we discovered that Britain had had a rainy week. In Sweden it had been sunny, with only one rainy day. Unbelievable! ”
“We met both, Susanne and Krister and they turned out to be very nice and open people. They made us feel at home in their beautiful and cosy home. Susanne gave us all sorts of tips for trips, shopping and restaurants and, additionally, there was lots of information on the table. The pictures do not really represent the house. It is worthwhile to add some. Our kids loved the space, the games and apple TV, the other gadgets and the garden. Even though we were there in April and the weather was ... well like in April, you know, we had a very good time and would love to come back one day. Thanks Susanne and Krister and boys for having us. ”
“Belle nature et patrimoine historique industriel intéressant à découvrir.”
“We spent 10 wonderful days this summer at this beautiful house. The house is really nice and fully equiped with evertything you may need as Sussane takes care of everything and is always trying to help and make things easy for the guests. Its garden it is the children's paradise, our daughters didnt want to move from there. The location of the house is perfect to do some day trips and the weather was very nice in August. We would recommend this house to everybody with kids. Thank you for everything Susanne!! ”
“If you want to cross Sweden from North to South and from East to West and still do some sightseeing on the way, this property is in perfect location. Furthermore, Susanne is an excellent host and always in touch, even after the trip. It felt like we are visiting colleagues and our positive experience made us think we want to return again. Fully support the positive testimonials given before our stay.”
“We were just one night in Susanne's home, but felt so comfortable immediately! It was like a friends reunion, though we had never met. Everything perfect!!! ”
“Susan kindly added one more day for us to extend the trip we had already arranged, we were very comfortable in their home and the location was excellent and we were happy to stay an extra night. Anne”
“This is a lovely house in a great location, Susanne was very helpful and even arranged for us to stay on very short notice, she also kept in contact during our stay to make sure all was going well. There is an excellent folder with lots of advice on what to see and do in the area and also an extensive description for everything in the house. This location is excellent for exploring the south of Sweden and the lake of Vättern, I would especially recommend the town of Gränna and the island of Wisingsö. The house has everything you need and we enjoyed using the projector for watching TV in the living room and we especially appreciated the covered patio, laundrette and having several TVs, so our one rainy day was very comfortable. The house is perfect for a family although we were three adults and really enjoyed the comfort of the house. Its located in a quiet suburb and its a 10 min drive to the town centre. I would recommend going for outings in the day and come back to the house in the evening to make dinner and enjoy the garden patio and play area for the kids. Sweden can be expensive for dinners out although you can always get a large lunch for a good price so we cooked most dinners ourselves while enjoying late lunches out. If you have kids they will love the tree house and trampoline in the garden and there are two teenage rooms with their own TVs so that's a big plus if travelling with teenagers. There is also an excellent pizza place nearby the house. ”
“We've spent a wonderful time during the week we spent with Susanne's family. Susanne is a warm host, very available and helpful. She does her utmost to make everyone feel comfortable and at ease. We also enjoyed the surroundings, the quiet places we visited : it is a great place for sports, walking into the woods, canoeing, horse riding, shopping, ... Jonköping is an ideal place to be as it is central in south Sweden ! Thanks again for your warm welcome and the time we spent ! Denis & Gladys”
“Nice house very well equipped, in a quiet and pleasant area. Very good location for all Vattern lake area and the west coast of Sweden. Highly recommended.”
We are very respectful to others home. We are 2-5 people when we are traveling. Sometimes we also travel with friends.
Susanne is a communication manager and Krister is a computer technician
