A privately located Villa next to the lake


Discover the heart of the idyllic Swedish lake district. Built in 1910, the villa once housed 7 families of charcoal makers for the Hyttan (foundry), hence its name, "Kolakasern" - "charcoal barracks".

There are 3 flats in the house: Upstairs, Downstairs and Studio. In summer; swim in the lake, dine on the sun deck, go boating, cycling, fishing, foraging and hiking. In Winter, ski at Säfsen or Romme Alpin ski/ biking resorts - 30 and 45 mins away respectively. There is a new 20sq m balcony overlooking the lake. It lies on a well maintained but quiet road making it easily winter accessible for the local ski centres.

Host Roy lives in London. He and his wife are not usually present but are constantly available on the phone/email. Our friendly neighbours are present and willing to help out if there are any problems. Roy and his four children have been vacationing in the area since 2000 and in this particular house since 2009. If you enjoy fresh air, nature, wild water swimming and winter sports as we do, Kolkasern is the perfect place. We have introduced over 80 friends and relatives from Ireland and the UK to this part of Sweden and we hope all our paying guests have as good a time as they have had.

Great for big families
The house is very spacious and the place is really lovely with a big garden and just a short walk to the lake. The house had all the amenities so you don't have to bring anything. Our family really enjoyed staying there.

Wir waren einfach begeistert. Das Haus ist rustikal, aber dennoch super ausgestattet. Wir konnten unseren Urlaub einfach genießen. Die Küchen gaben fast alles her, um Weihnachten und Sylvester zu genießen. Es gab sogar mehrere Kuchenformen zum backen und ein Nudelholz um Teig auszurollen. Die Küche an sich war modern und sehr gut ausgestattet. Auch die Bäder waren modern und die Duschen sehr großzügig. Am schönsten war es jedoch das wir mit 9 Erwachsenen und 4 Kindern (1-12) gemeinsam genügend Platz an den Esstischen hatten und dabei eine fantastische Aussicht auf den See hatten. Die Zimmer waren auch gemütlich eingerichtet, sodass alle super geschlafen haben. Mein Kleiner bekam sogar ein schönes Gitterbett und einen Kinderstuhl. Wir waren ja mit 13 Leuten da, allerdings hat man das in dem großem Haus nicht gemerkt. Zumal es durch die einzelnen Parteien im Haus genug Rückzugsorte gab. Die Fernseher hatten sogar einen Internetzugang, sodass wir auch Filme streamen konnten und der Kamin im Essbereich hat uns ordentlich eingeheizt und war nochmal ein Highlight zu Weihnachten. Die Gegend ist super ruhig und war perfekt für eine (fast lautloses) Sylvester mit Hund. Die Umgebung ist toll zum wandern und spazieren. Wir hatte das Glück , Weihnachten mit viel Schnee zu haben und konnten Schlittenfahren und später auch Schneemänner bauen😀 Zum einkaufen gab es einen kleinen Coop in der Nähe. Wir selber sind aber zum nächstgrößeren Ort gefahren um Kultur zu schauen und einkaufen zu gehen . Info am Rande : Der Coffeeshop in Ludvika ist mega 😉 Toll war es auch, das der Besitzer und der Nachbar jederzeit für uns erreichbar waren und geholfen haben. Sie haben sogar einen Weihnachtsbaum organisiert 🎄 Bei uns steht das Haus auf jedenfall wieder oben auf der Liste, wenn wir wieder mit der ganzen Familie zusammen verreisen wollen! Wir danken euch für den tollen Urlaub.

Huset ok
Huset bra, tomten såg inte ut som bilderna största delen oklippt högt gräs, badbryggan bra , badstegen värdelös och badmöjligheter nästan omöjligt då vattnet når till anklarna och botten omöjlig att gå på. Framgick inte heller att stora vägen går precis utanför . Inte värt pengarna!!!

Flott opphold ved sjøen
Vi bodde i huset en uke i påsken 2022 med familie og venner (9 voksne og 4 barn) og vi likte stedet veldig godt. Huset er eldre men vakkert og romslig, flott utsikt over innsjøen, velutstyrt kjøkken og varmen fungerer utmerket. Kommunikasjonen med eieren var topp. En mindre ulempe er at et soverom med egen inngang. Vi vil anbefale det til andre.

Great stay in lovely house
We stayed in the house for a week in August with our family (9 adults, 6 children and 1 baby in total) and enjoyed it a lot. The house is beautiful and spacious, great lake view, nice beds and well-equiped kitchen. The communication with the owner was smooth. One minor downside was that there are only 2 showers. We would definately recommend it to other large groups.
