Island life gem with all heart desires

About this house

In the first row to the water on the small island of Fejø, you'll find this authentic black-painted wooden cottage with white mullioned windows. Here you have your very own jetty and the most beautiful wood-fired sauna with a direct view of the Smålandsfarvandet right outside the door.

Inside the cottage, the interior is cozy with fine recycled finds and patterned wallpaper. In the old country kitchen, you can let the smell of home-baked buns spread around the house, and around the dining table you can gather the whole family for dinner with a view of the sea. If you have a family with small children, they can stay overnight in one of the two houses in the garden and cook oatmeal from early in the morning without waking the rest of you.

Outside, it's hard to know where to start. The garden is filled with lovely nooks and crannies, whether you want to relax overlooking the water, the private vineyard or the Swedish-inspired orchard where you'll find the most wonderful herbs. You can also host dinner parties on the large wooden terrace, lounge in the hammock in the shade, let the kids play in the children's pavilion in the tree, pick berries for the afternoon cake or spend the night in the middle of the glorious apple orchard.

And as if that wasn't enough, you're right near the ferry landing, so you can head over without a car and enjoy a few days of slow living away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Note: If you book for two people, you get access to the main house, and if you book for more people, you get access to the other houses.
