Chill-Out Beach House ★ own sauna ★ lake view ski

Built in 2020, house made for chilling out, a great Sunday-morning-vibe all week long: hard wood floors, view on the lake from the bed, integrated spot lights in all ceilings, fully equipped tiled kitchen, tiled bathroom - and: a private sauna for two :) Easy to access by car and bus. Interior is classical Scandinavian design with white birch walls and high spacious ceilings. Wifi, dishwasher, washing machine. Watch the sun set over the lake, light candles. Check in, chill out. The cabin is 40 meters from the water (full south), brand new. (25 m², see floor plan in pictures section).Tiled fully equipped kitchen, tiled bathroom with sauna and a sleeping area with double bed (160 cm) overlooking the lake. Kitchen is equipped with: • Induction stove and oven, pots, pans. • Fridge with freezer compartment. • Plates, silverware, glasses, mugs, kitchen knives etc. • Water heater and coffee machine with filters. As courtesy, I provide basic cooking stuff: • Salt, pepper and oil • Some tea bags and coffee + filters (to get you through that first morning :) Close to the house is a large receration area for trail running in summer and X-country skiing in winter... or just ski/walk right out on the frozen lake. The house is not in the "wilderness", Luleå 5 mins away by car, just mentioning since some guests expect total seclusion. Good place to watch northern lights. Heating, hot water, wonderful view - all very nice and comfortable! Northern lights: Luleå is a great place to watch nothern lights. The season for aurora is from October to March. When the lights dance across the sky you can walk out on the frozen lake in front of the house and look north across the sky. Also I can guide you to places away from the town's lights where contrast is better. You do not need a car to access this Airbnb. If you arrive to Luleå airport the bus to town will take about 20 minutes. In town you change bus to bus 223, this ride takes 15 mins. While in town you can shop for groceries right by the bus station, so you don't have to stop on the way. There is also a supermarket 2 km from house open 8 am to 10 pm, also a pizzeria if you don't feel like cooking. If you rent a car at the airport it will take you 20 mins to reach the house. Getting to the house by car or bus is very easy. Once you are booked you will receive very detailed information on how to get around on foot, bike, bus and car. Guest info PDF also features maps and local information on Luleå, things to do, restaurant guide and much more. In spring/summer/fall you can enjoy fishing, hiking and just the luxury of having nature right around the corner but still be able to hop on a bus to town and see for yourself if the local bartenders make a good martini ;) Since many international companies have established in Luleå there is today a good selection of restaurants, pubs, coffee-shops and cocktail bars. The local pub The Bishops Arms has 34 beers on tap and micro brewery. If you wish to see more of the area I can recommend nice day trips to waterfalls, fishing spots, beautiful hikes and many more things to discover. Within a 150 km radius you can reach some of Northern Europe's best trout and salmon rivers! In summer it never really gets dark. As Luleå is 100 km south of the arctic circle you can't see the disc of the sun at night, but it's light like early morning. Light sensitive when you sleep? Bring a face mask! In summer Luleå really comes to life, many restaurants and pubs offer outdoor service and people from all over Scandinavia (and the world) come to get some long-longed-for sunshine. Luleå also has a beautiful archipelago with islands scattered in the Luleå river delta. In summer small tour boats operate the routes to the islands, some are inhabited with restaurants and beaches, while others are protected natural reserves with a rich bird life. Take the boat in the morning come back in the afternoon! In winter you also have plenty fo things to do. Local companies offer dog sledding, snow mobile tours etc. You can also do many activities right from the house. I offer guided tours on cross country skis (in forest and on ice) - or rent skis from me and go explore the area on your own. Only 300 m from house you will also find prepared competition ski tracks (Ormberget). For alpine skiing Luleå offers shorter slopes. If you want to try alpine skiing this is a great opportunity to learn, but if you are expecting long slopes you had better go to the alps. Sweden is flat and our "mountains" are more like hills by international standards. During winter the town of Luleå prepares a 4 km "ice road" in town. Rent skates or borrow a kick sled and you can even reach some of the closest islands! Down on the ice the town of Luleå put out grill spots with free fire wood. Bring a hot dog and cook your own lunch on the ice! In winter days are short. Sun goes up at 08:30 am and down at 2:00 pm. Temperatures range from -5 C° to -25 C°. When it snows I have a neighbor with a tractor that clears everything. So don't worry about getting snowed in or stuck. I drive a regular 2 WD car and it works fine. i give my guests space, but I am at hand if they need me. I do my best to meet all my guets in person and say hello and check so they are happy. This house is a compact beach house. It has all you need. Look at the floor plan in the picture gallery for details. The house is located in a residential area in a super nice location. There is traffic on the road leading to town, just mentioning since some guests have been expecting total seclusion and living in wilderness, this is 5 mins by car from town: nature + "city" life :) On the oppsite side of the lake is a small public beach. During summer days there may be children playing and people bathing. The house is on a lot with two other houses, all houses face the lake and you have good privacy. You may see other guests going to the sauna or going to the water to fish. Most of my guests are couples finding a retreat to relax. In all the 700+ bookings I have had I have had no complaints. It all works very smoothly. The garden sauna is a country style sauna, like cottage sauna you would expect in the Swedish countryside. Bed linen and towels are included in the rental. If you by accident destroy the bed linen (spilling plates of food, blood etc) I charge a replacement fee of 250 kr for the duvet and 100 kr for sheet, 70 kr for towels. -> Please DO NOT WIPE OFF MAKE UP with the towels, not even with ”water soluble” make up. It leaves permanent stains. Let's keep them clean :) Thanks! :) Before checking out guests are required to do simple tidying up: do dishes, wipe stovetop, counter and inside fridge + take garbage out. If you have used the fireplace, take some logs in and build a fire ready to light for the next guests (karma :) Thanks! :) I do charge a cleaning fee, 100 kr, this does not really cover the time it takes me to wash, dry fold, make beds, vacuum and clean bathroom. Guests doing the simple basics saves me some time and is respectful. Guests rent a home, not a hotel room. If you cannot accept basic tasks as doing your dishes and wiping the counter... then maybe we are not made for each other :)
