About this property

Charming lake house with private shore and amazing seaview

Charming lake house with amazing seaview. The house is located on an island with buildings from the last turn of the century. Large terrace in the south with barbecue and dining table. Large lovely lawn areas for play. Breakfast is best served on the kitchen veranda with sunrise and sea view, if you like, after your morning swim. There is a dreamy desk where you can write your diary, your memoars, or just lay puzzles.

Lilla Stenkulla belongs to Stenkulla Gård together with Villa Stenkulla, but is located on its own lakeside plot of 2,000 sqm. Villa Stenkulla has been featured in House & Antiques, Sköna Hem and Hyttemagazinet.

Lilla Stenkulla is easily accessible by communter boats that traffic the island 10 times/day in each direction. It takes 10 min to Vaxholm and 1 hour to downtown Stockholm. There are also 3 boat taxi firms in Vaxholm. Car and boat parking is available on the mainland.

Vaxholm, the capital of the archipelago, has a lot of history, not least with Vaxholm's fortress, as well as picturesque buildings with alleys and cozy shops. In Vaxholm there are about 20 restaurants, pharmacy, grocery stores, cafes, fresh fish, supermarkets, bakeries with fresh bread, movie theater, ATM and lots of ice cream parlors! Within 20 minutes by own- or taxi boat there are another 10 restaurants with seaside locations. From Vaxholm you can easily take a Vaxholm boat further out in the archipelago. From Arlanda it takes 45 minutes.

The island of Stegesund is classified as a national heritage because of all the merchant villas from the turn of the century and Stenkulla itself has been classified as extraordinary. On the car-free island there is a gravel road that is perfect for jogging and there is also a tennis court. In Vaxholm there is a golf course, canoe and bike rental etc., and Catch & Relax offers guided fishing trips from the island.

Bed linen and towels are included.

Smoking is not allowed.

The most unbelievably beautiful home with exceptional touches in the most incredible setting. Feel very lucky to have experienced it and very grateful to Johan for opening up his home to us."

Swedish Idyll

A remote, peaceful little corner of the Stockholm archipelago. The perfect place to unwind, breathe fresh air and recharge the batteries. The sun God didn’t shine on us but we enjoyed rainy walks and cosy evenings, and in between showers managed to squeeze in some games of tennis on the nearby charming wooden court. We explored a few neighbouring islands on our little hire boat. Ate some wonderful food. And enjoyed welcoming smiles from everyone we met. We’ll all remember Lilla Stenkulla fondly.

A wonderful stay

Die Schären haben mich gefangen und noch nicht wieder losgelassen! Ein wundervoller Ort, um seine Ferien zu verbringen- das Ferienhaus ist mit so viel Liebe und Geschmack eingerichtet und der große, schöne Garten und die Aussicht über das Meer und die Schären sind traumhaft. Danke, liebe Familie Nordquist, für eine traumhafte Woche!

Small but attractive cosy cabin

We had a fantastic time at Johan’s small but very well equipped cosy cabin. I stayed with my husband and adult daughter. Views are truly beautiful. We rented a boat for the 9 days of our stay and used it to visit local islands or go shopping to Vaxholm. Everything was beautiful and Johan a very good host . Thank you!
