Neighbourhood

The house is located on an island north of Stockholm, but road and bridges all the way. Countryside and closeness to the woods and the sea. The place is best in the very late spring, summer, early fall or snowy winters. Unfortunately the winters are getting more and more unpredictable, which is the reason I recommend other times of the year to visit, but if you really want to, it will most likely be available. A snowy winter day is beautiful! A rainy... not so. NB! For daily sightseeing in Stockholm, this house is too far away. This is another vacation. Read more about the surrounding area: https://www.roslagen.se/en/visitroslagen/ You could also make even just a day-trip to the Åland Islands, where I grew up: https://www.visitaland.com/en/ . The ferry goes from Grisslehamn: https://www.eckerolinjen.se/en NB! Åland belongs to Finland, so you would have to bring your passport or national id-card on the ferry.

Nearest airport

Arlanda (ARN), Stockholm. Appr 1h 30min to drive.

Getting around

If you will be staying for more than a few days, we recommend renting a car to be able to move around in a bit bigger circles. Still, we come here by local transport (bus) from Stockholm, as we have got a bus stop right by our house, due to the former owner, who lived here permanently, being a teacher and carried plenty of books everyday. Search for Digrudan at: https://sl.se/en . 10 minutes walk to the closest grocery store. We have about three adult bikes and two-three junior bikes for you to use. Kayaks possible to rent from https://www.roslagen.se/en/visitroslagen/104288/Arholma-Nord, https://vaddokanotcentral.se/ or http://fejanoutdoor.se/

Feedback

  • Writing this feedback brings a huge smile on my face. We had the immense pleasure of being allowed to stay at Bodil & Gert's place on Singö island....and it was unforgettable, from beginning to end. Bodil was there to meet us upon arrival and she showed us everything we needed to know...and took off for Stockholm again. Communication with her before, during and after the exchange was simply wonderful. She was quick in replying, in answering questions, in sharing information and knowledge of the island. Singö is oh, so pleasant and oh, so beautiful. The forests filled with blue- and lingonberries, and mushrooms galore, the pleasant walks all over the island, the small meadows and romantic red wooden houses, the gorgeous coastline and the gentle waves of the Baltic Sea, with the Finnish Aland Islands at the horizon, friendly neighbors in the small village (with an excellent store and a beautiful wooden church) and grazing deer in the fields. A Scandinavian dream.... Bodil & Gert's home is wonderful. It's warm, it's cosy, it has plenty of DVD's to watch a movie, it has all one needs for a great retreat. Perfect beds, a well equipped kitchen, a pleasant sittingroom with a fireplace, and even a pingpong-table in the basement. Bodil made us feel so welcome, with handpicked berries in the fridge, plus a jar of home made jam....such a delight. We cycled all over the place, walked all the paths that criscross Singö, swam in the icecold Baltic Sea, sat on the rocks and stared at the sea, read thick books in the evening....and had quality time with our daugters who came for a visit, one after the other. And now we're trying to find a way to get one of those red wooden houses ourselves, as a summerhouse ! Obviously we never wanted to leave. Wanted to live like a local for months longer. Drove home with teary eyes. It has been one incredible experience. Singö stole our hearts. Thank you so much for sharing your happy place with us. Dearest Bodil, Gert and Jonathan: namasté
