Cabin vacation rentals in Mälaren

It’s hard to express just how much of a fantastic time my partner and I had at this stunning cottage in the Swedish countryside. The outdoor greenhouse was perfect for a romantic candlelit dinner and the hot tub was wonderful underneath the stars in peaceful surroundings. Nils left us a useful guidebook containing a wealth of information for local walks, hikes, activities and recommended restaurants, complete with clear instructions for navigation. We enjoyed a beautiful local nature reserve based on this. Two electric bikes were available for our use - this was a lovely touch which would enhance any stay. We travelled here primarily as it is within a 40 minute drive of Kolmården, which is probably the world’s best wildlife park and zoo, featuring one of the world’s highest ranked RMC rollercoasters. It’s also easy to reach this place from Stockholm via train to Nyköping, before a 10 minute drive to the property. A 10/10 Airbnb which we look forward to returning to in the future.

Linus was very accommodating and responsive. The accommodation was very cozy and clean. There was also a very nice garden. We had a great time and definitely recommend it!

We had a fabulous few days in Helene’s woodland retreat. The experience of the hot tub in the trees was a highlight, as was watching the wildlife in the early morning from the picture windows. Helene was an excellent communicator and answered all our queries promptly. The bed was comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped. We had a small maintenance issue but this was dealt with immediately by Helene’s friendly Father ( Jan), who lives close by. The property is well used and has a lived in feel, this did not detract from our experienced but contributed to our feeling of being in someone’s home. We would choose to stay here again if we revisit the region. Thank you Helene and Jan.

Beautiful location and tranquil space. Would absolutely stay here again. Thank you for sharing your home!

Tiny cabin for two people but with everything needed, refrigerator, microwave, water heater, of course bathroom and shower. Hard to believe, but it all fit well in the house. Clean, comfortable. Beautiful forest. Rocks. Birds. Blueberries flowering. One good reason - close to Arlanda, only 15 minutes drive, I always would prefere this accommodation to Stockholm, if need to get to airport quickly. Very lovely Sigtuna town pretty close. Thank you, Izabella!

This little house is in a beautiful serene location where you can enjoy nature while still being in close proximity to Sigtuna and not too far from Stockholm. Sibel and Jonas were very friendly and kind and provided many recommendations. Truly worth the experience!

We stayed at Jimmy`s place in June 2025 for a three day city trip to Stockholm. The accomodation suited our needs perfectly and was located in a very nice and quiet area. The train station is in approx 10 min walking distance and the train to Stockholm central station is fast and runs often. The tiny house is very neat and well equipped and very comfy. We loved it. I can absolutely recommend this place. Check in was very easy and Jimmy was proactive, easy to reach and a great host.

Very nice, small house directly on the lake. From the conservatory you have a great view. Niclas was very friendly and helpful. We will be happy to come back!

We will return and return again to this wonderful place. Monika is also an amazing host. Responds quickly and you feel well taken care of!! She wants everything to be perfect!

Me and a group of friends rented this cabin for a weekend and it was great. Beautiful location, great access to the lake for swimming and overall just a very nice place to hang out. The hosts are exceptionally friendly and really want you to have a great time. Bonus points for letting us use their SUPs and kayak. We totally want to come back another time!

Fantastic location! Communicative and helpful hosts! We really enjoyed our stay and would love to come back. Kind regards Jon & Helena

What an idyll. So beautiful up on the hill with such beautiful views. Peaceful and a super nice luxurious house with everything you can wish for and much more. Highly recommend this place🌺

This was our second time staying at this beautiful cabin, and the emotions were just as strong as the first time. It’s the perfect getaway from the city – just a few days here feels like stepping into a fairytale. The house is right by the water, and waking up to that serene lake view while having breakfast is absolutely magical. The cabin has everything you need to fully relax and enjoy the experience without any worries. Every detail is thoughtfully arranged to make you feel at home. The hosts are incredibly kind and welcoming. They left us some treats and even organized a little Easter egg hunt for us – such a sweet and thoughtful gesture that made our stay even more special❤️

What a magical place, feels like you are on the lake. Beautiful views al day long, nice island just in front of the house. Great and friendly host

nice host thanks you for the stay

Beautiful location! Not 5 minutes walk to the nature reserve. The ferry to Stockholm is also a 10-15 minute walk. In general, public transport in the area is very good. In the evening you have a great view of the sunset over the water. With some luck and patience you can watch the beaver in the nature reserve. Joakim was a very nice and likeable host! Overall a highly recommended place for those who want to see both nature and Stockholm.

Wonderful starting point for the archipelago. We felt very comfortable. We also got used to the bathroom/toilet, which is 20 meters from the house. This may be shared with other guests. Lena is very caring and lovingly takes care of the well-being of her guests. Even the wonderful hours on the terrace overlooking the water are pure relaxation. You can swim, kayak if necessary….

We had a really nice stay at the cottage!

We had an incredible stay here and Stefan could not have been a better host

Very nice host who had super good communication! Nice location on quiet street with walking distance to the city center. Accommodation was clean and fresh with everything you need. Recommended!

An absolute gem, exactly what we hoped for, a quintessential Swedish cottage on water in the archipelago. It doesn’t get better.

We had a wonderful time at Magnus and Ing-Maries cabin. Its situated very peacefully at the end of a dead end road - the only noise you hear are animals and boats on the water. Travelling with a rather small child we were counting on using the washing machine which was broken, but Magnus tried to fix the problem even offering to wash our clothes at their place. Both of them are great hosts, very friendly and kind to share recommendations within the neighborhood.

This place is truly wonderful. We stayed here for a few days for our mini moon and it was perfect! We were lucky with the weather so were able to enjoy a beautiful sunset over the lake, a row in the boat, the sauna and relaxed on the balcony. It was peaceful and clean. We hopped on the bus to Stockholm which was super easy! The bed was extremely comfortable and the snacks in the fridge were a bonus. The place is even better than the photos! Would recommend! Ann was super helpful and responsive. Thank you

Nice little cottage right by the water and overlooking the fjord. Simple standard but with everything you need. Paula is a thoughtful host who makes guests feel welcome. A plus is, of course, that our dog was also welcome. We'd love to come again!
