Fresh water lakes for swimming approx 4 km from our house. (Rösjön and Rönningesjön) aswell as 5km from the Baltic sea with more swimming facilities. There is direct access to beautiful forests /walking areas from our house but the lakes are especially nice to walk around. (Mörtsjön or Rönningesjön for example)

Stockholm (16 km) is a beautiful, child friendly capital with plenty of interesting places to visit and offers a good range of shops, museums, outdoor life, restaurants and entertainment for all ages. Stockholm is the gateway to an archipelago with approx. 30 000 islands, easily accessible by boat and/or car and ideal for day trips in the summer. Also offers plenty of overnight options too at all price levels.

Stockholm is easily reached by local bus & metro, train or car. We commute daily for work, so it is not too far. Our nearest airport is Arlanda (35 km). Ryanair flies to Skavsta/ Nyköping (110 km south of Stockholm).

We have done three previous house swaps and are looking forward to yet another great experience.
