Cabins Stockholm

Stockholm, Sweden

If you’re renting a cabin in the area of Stockholm then you’re staying in the middle/south part of Sweden at the outlet of Lake Mälaren.

Stockholm borders Södermanland in the south and Uppland in the north.

Stockholm archipelago is located on the east side of Stockholm, with over 30 000 islands, Stockholm archipelago is one of the richest archipelagos with the most islands in the world. Imagine a picnic on the dock outside your rented cabin of choice with a view over the archipelago, or why not try your luck fishing at sunset.
