In the category Cabins by the lake, we have added the cabins that have all Sweden's lakes nearby. Renting a cabin by a lake can have several benefits. Especially the proximity to swimming and fishing but also that it is very beautiful. All lakes look different and the nature varies greatly, some lakes have a shoreline of cliffs while others are lined with lush forest.
There is excellent fishing in many of the lakes in Sweden. It is popular to fish from either land, from a small dock or with a boat. There is often the possibility to either rent or borrow a boat at many of the cabins. You can - if possible - rent a boat from the owner of the cabin or somewhere nearby. Some cabins have a boat already included in the rent.
In some lakes in Sweden, game fish have been placed out in the lake so then a fishing license is required to fish. Check with the owner of the cabin about current rules, if the cabin owner does not know what applies, then you can usually find the required information at the tourist office nearby.
Since the lakes in Sweden are smaller and shallower than the ocean, they heat up faster to swim-friendly temperatures. This makes lakes extra attractive for all swim-hungry families on vacation in Sweden. Quite often there is either access to a sandy beach or a small dock by the lake. If you rent a cabin by a lake where there is no prepared swimming area, it is always possible to swim anyway, however, the bottom can be muddy and covered with twigs and reeds, but once you have reached the depths, the reward are well worth it.
