Holiday home on an old farm with motorboat, canoe and hot tub

Location of Dränghuset

In pi­c­tu­resque Västergötland, near the border with Småland, there is a former farm on a 120,000 m² plot of land, whose owners rent out this holiday home in addition to another one. Dränghuset - which trans­la­tes as ‘house of the farm servant’, as we know from Astrid Lindgren’s stories. The other holiday home is a little further away and is called ‘Pigahuset’, which means ‘maid's house’. A small river flows right past the property and is suitable for short swims and fishing. The owners of the house have fishing rights on the three lakes Stora Hagasjön, Lillan and Drägvedsjön, so you can fish there free of charge and without a fishing licence. Rowing boats and canoes are also included. You can hire a 4 hp motor for the rowing boat for EUR 50 per week. The nearest public and child-friendly bathing spot at Skäremoskön is about 3 km away. The two nearest larger towns, Tranemo and Gislaved, are about 25 km away, where you will find grocery stores, among other things. There is a nice re­stau­rant and café at Påarps Gård, 7 km away.

Fa­ci­li­ties

The 85 m² house com­fortably ac­com­moda­tes up to 6 people. Two dogs are also welcome for an ad­di­tio­nal fee. You enter the house via the wooden veranda and arrive in a large entrance area, which leads to the living room on the left, the kitchen and bathroom on the right, and straight ahead to the first bedroom. In the living room, you can relax on the large corner sofa in front of the flat-screen TV or in front of the crackling fireplace, which envelops the room in cosy warmth. The living room leads from the kitchen to the dining room. In addition to a re­fri­ge­ra­tor with separate freezer com­part­ment, oven, electric stove, dis­hwas­her, filter coffee machine, toaster, kettle and microwave, the kitchen has eve­ryt­hing you need to prepare and serve common meals for 6 people. The bathroom has a toilet, shower and washing machine. The bedroom on the ground floor has two single beds, which can be pushed together to form a double bed if required. From the entrance area, a staircase leads to the upper floor, where you will find two further bedrooms opposite each other. One is furnished with a double bed and the other with two single beds, which can also be pushed together to form a double bed.

Outside, there is a barbecue hut 70 metres away and a wood-fired hot tub 50 metres away for wonderful evenings in good company. These are available to tenants of both holiday homes on the farm, which is why it may be necessary to agree on their use from time to time.
