Bjorn and Helena take extra care to keep their home spotless and very comfortable to stay in. The location is great to visit Stockholm and the surrounding area. The home backs up to the Lidingo trail system which is wonderful for running, hiking and getting out with nature. My wife and I live in London and enjoyed having the woods and hiking right outside our front door. If you are looking for a place to take it easy and get away from the crowded city, look no further. Bjorn was very helpful and made us feel like a guest and not a customer. Key features: internet, satellite TV, well stocked kitchen, bikes, washer/dryer, barbecue, private garden, private location, and so much more.

This property in a beautiful woodland setting high on a hill overlooking the water is a testament both to the owners' exquisite taste and their generosity of spirit. Our luggage was transported up the hill in Bjorn and Helena's 4x4 and the vehicle was put at our diaposal for going up and down the hill for the week. The interior decor was beautiful and the property spotlessly clean. Every possible amenity was provided from slippers to breakfast to foil to hairdryer to raincapes to weighing scales to laptop to badminton racquets. Outside a hammock and tightrope and wonderful garden. Beyond that a woodland walking running track. Short drive to Stockholm with it's 84 museums. Highlight for us was the Millesgarden just a few minutes drive away. Skansen also recommended and Grunaland and Technik museums kept our 15 and 13 year olds well entertained.

My wife, two children aged 12 and 6 and I stayed at House 34 for a week in early July. Beginning with the location - in a forest clearing overlooking the water with views of Stockholm in the distance - to the thoughtful and welcoming amenities in the house itself - a hamper of cereal, preserves and bread, for example, and most importantly the attentiveness and responsiveness of the owners, our experience far exceeded our expectations. There was an abundance of natural light in the home giving the impression that it was one with nature, every appliance we could have asked for was there (including a laptop with high speed internet) and the home was maintained to a very high standard throughout. The owner was available to answer questions at practically any time of day or night and he even took the trouble of printing out our airline boarding passes and bringing them to us the night before we left. On the day we arrived, he drove us around to help us orient ourselves....very helpful. We didn't use the two bed cottage or the hammock but they are both charming additions to this lovely property. While the property is ideal for families with young children, older guests might find climbing up the stairs to the bedroom a little steep. You will also need a car, both to access the property which sits up at the end of a steep driveway and to make it easier to get to and from Stockholm's attractions. Thw owner showed us (the only) free parking in Stockholm and we used it well. I went out for a run one morning and passed startled deer and rabbits by a pond. A few minutes later I could see the skyline of Stockholm. Staying at Fewo Stockholm is as close to nature as you can get while being a stone's throw from a delightful Scandinavian city.
