House in the Stockholm Archipelago

On our premises, we have a genuine village bakery house from the 18th century. Modern standard in a country style atmosphere, with a bathroom, kitchen and sleeping loft for two. Private entrance and a veranda for evening dinners. The cabin is situated about 400 meters from the sea, and nearby good hiking tracks, beaches and the Vaxholm harbour. You can borrow bikes in the summer and cross country skiis in the winter. At times, the sea gets deep frozen allowing skating. Other attractions are the historical views in the vaxholm city center, the canoe rental place just 500m from the house, or the ferries taking you either OUT exploring the archipelago or IN to Stockholm city , in just 1 hour. The house is located in the Village of Ytterby, on a charming island called Resarö. Vaxholm is often referred to as the "port to the Stockholm archipelago" with 23 000 island to explore. The name Vaxholm comes from Vaxholm Castle, which was constructed in 1549 on an islet with this name on the inlet to Stockholm, for defense purposes, by King Gustav Vasa. The town of Vaxholm was established in 1558, when King Gustav Vasa bought some farms from Count Per Brahe (the elder). The designated coat of arms reminds of the fortifications as well as shipping industry. In the 1880s, it became a popular spa town, and many wooded summer houses were built by people from Stockholm. It was not until 1912 that it allowed houses to be built from materials other than wood, giving the town a distinctive appearance.
