Authentic Scandinavian holiday homes: discover the Swedish Stuga

It is one of the most famous icons in Sweden: the red houses that you see here and there in the vast Scandinavian landscape. The houses are a symbol of being outside, tranquility and space and cosiness. It is not for nothing that many red houses are still being built today. Many of these houses can be booked as a holiday home. Experience the real Swedish life in the middle of nature with this so-called ‘Stuga’.

Many Swedes from the big cities own a holiday home in the great outdoors. A privately owned holiday home is the most common thing in the world for many Swedes.

To summarize it briefly, you can say that a ‘stuga’ is a wooden holiday home. These can be found throughout Sweden and often located in natural areas. The houses are therefore often located around a large plot of land. In the beginning it was mostly locals who rented a Stuga to holidaymakers. In recent years, more and more holiday organizations have discovered Sweden as the ultimate holiday destination for nature lovers. This means that a growing number of these types of holiday homes are being offered for rent in Sweden. But due to the sparsely populated nature of the country, you can still experience the untouchedness of this part of Scandinavia.

You can choose a holiday home high on a mountain in the north of Sweden or a cottage somewhere in the south on the beach of the long, rocky coast.
