The cottage is located in a summer cottage area with a view of beautiful nature. Rich nature life.
Large terrace with a barbeque area and a lawn.
About 10 meters up a hill there is a picnic table with a fantastic 180 degree view of one of Mälaren's largest springs and a beautiful sunset over the water.
About 40 meters to rock swimming and fishing. 200 meters to the beach with swimming docks and a jumping tower.
The cottage is small, but well planned and cozy. In the common room there is a round table with 4 chairs (extra table and 2 extra chairs if needed), well-equipped small kitchen, a cozy sleeping area with sofa bed and bunk bed. Newly renovated spacious bathroom with shower/WC. WiFi is available, but not always a strong signal.
We have enjoyed living in our lovely summer cottage so much, that we have built a house next door and moved here permanently. We live about 10 meters from the cabin, but we are quiet and will not disturb you. We are close at hand if you want help with e.g. excursion destinations, train schedules, etc. We can be helpful with washing clothes if necessary by agreement. Bed linen and shower towels are included in the rent. Bring your own bath towels.
Welcome to our little summer paradise.

I’m glad I found this cosy cabin in Herresta/Mariefred so close to Lake Mälaren. An older cottage with charming décor and a modern bathroom – it has everything you need for a holiday and a little more :)). It is surrounded by quite unique and rich nature – I even managed to photograph a beaver and a pheasant 🤗.
Only a 5-minute walk to a lovely sandy beach. For excursions, Mariestad, Gripsholm Castle (a very interesting guided tour for adults) and Hjorthagen are just a 25-minute drive away. In the other direction, Strängnäs is also worth a visit – and don’t miss the bakery and café in the yellow industrial building, which even serves lunch. Sarah, the host, really makes sure you feel at home 🤗😍. Many thanks to Sarah and family!
