Charming apartment in artist’s home from 1899

About this house

In this historic house from 1899, where the famous author Harry Martinsson spent his childhood and wrote "Nässlorna blomma" (The Nettles Bloom), you can now experience a unique blend of creative history and modern artistic spirit. The house was previously home to the artist Mette Aarre and her sons, and the creative energy remains in every corner.

The interior has been designed with the history of the house in mind and with a focus on sustainable, non-toxic materials. On the ground floor of the house, two separate apartments are rented out together as a shared accommodation. They are ideal for two families or a group of friends who want to vacation together but also value their privacy.

Each apartment has its own bedroom and bathroom, giving everyone their own private space and place to relax. The apartments share a kitchen, which creates natural spaces for socializing—but with plenty of room to retreat.

The garden has a lush lawn with fruit trees and bushes that create a peaceful atmosphere. Behind the house there are parking spaces and a charging station for electric cars is planned.

From your base in Gylsboda, you can explore the many attractions in the surrounding area. Visit the local quarry with its communal sauna, discover the Sliperiet Gylsboda gallery, or take a walk at Väkomyr. The surrounding area also offers cultural highlights such as the IKEA Museum, Wanås Sculpture Park, and Linnés Råshult.
