Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Mälaren

We had an absolutely wonderful and relaxing stay at Susanna and Krister's listing. The decor was welcoming and beautifully curated. The outdoor spaces were little slices of heaven we were eager to enjoy. Susanna and Krister were lovely and attentive hosts and we would love to stay here again!

Thank you for the stay and the warm communication

We stayed in the house for 6 days with my spouse and our child, and we were extremely satisfied with everything. One of the highlights was the stunning sea view — enjoying our morning coffee while looking out at the water was such a peaceful start to the day. The jacuzzi was also a great touch — clean, relaxing, and perfect for unwinding after a long day. The house was very clean and well-equipped with everything we needed. It’s located in a quiet and peaceful area, which made it ideal for spending quality family time. The host was also very responsive and helpful throughout our stay. Overall, it was a wonderful experience that exceeded our expectations in terms of comfort and atmosphere. We would definitely recommend it to anyone, especially families

For the third year in a row, I have enjoyed the fantastic little cottage by the lake! The host Ulrich received me as kindly and helpfully as usual. Here you can really relax and enjoy the beautiful nature. If you sit on the balcony by the jetty, you are guaranteed to see a variety of birds swimming by and in the surrounding forest, there are squirrels and deer that come close. The cottage is incredibly cozy and has everything you could need during your stay. The bed is very comfortable, the kitchen is equipped and charcoal is available if you want to grill outside instead. The little cottage on Vättersö has become a nice annual tradition for me and I am already looking forward to next year!

Perfect summer house to escape city life! Highly recommended for those seeking a slow, relaxing lifestyle. The hosts, Jack and Maria, are incredibly warm and welcoming. Their small dog adds even more charm. They were generous and helpful—solving issues like extra mattresses, showing us how to use the sauna, offering fresh vegetables from their garden, and even helping when we had trouble getting back to the cabin. The location is convenient: you can take a bus to Orminge Centrum (with Systembolaget, Willy’s, etc.), and the SL ferry is just 700m away, taking you to Slussen or Vaxholm. The lake is only a 5-minute walk away. Best for people who want to enjoy cabin life and take it slow.🥰 My mistake: I had my family stay here but planned daily trips to Stockholm, which made them tired. Also, with lots of luggage, Bolt rides were costly and hard to book. It’s not that close to the city—either take 3 buses (~1 hr) or walk 700m to the ferry (~1 hr total), with limited schedules.

Excellent spot and house for tours in natural Sweden. Also fairly close to larger cities. The house is well equipped with plenty of space, and large bedrooms. Ample space around the house. The reception was very nice with a cake and drinks. We made long gravel tours on our bikes starting from the house. Nature (cranes, deer, wild boar) can be found in close proximity of the house, we saw roe deer from the house. Recommendable.

An awesome house for a big group. with more than enough bathrooms, toilets and places to retreat to. A large well equipped kitchen. We could barbeque outdoors with enough outdoor seating. We enjoyed the nature around the island including a lake view and very pretty forest close to the house. What a beautiful and restful setting with perfect weather in the height of spring. It would be lovely to return and experience autumn there as well with the wide range of both deciduous and evergreen trees. Our group enjoyed the bird song, the many deer sightings and other game along with the wild flowers that were blooming. We even saw a moose in the fields. In conclusion, though we were fortunate with perfect temperatures and only occasional rain, in any regard, the home and surroundings were ample and gorgeous! We would highly recommend.

I've lived here many times before. There's a reason for that :) I feel this more like another home for me now. The host will always help you if you have a special need. You get more than a bed, you get a local contact point.

It was a great stay!

Super quick in responding. Very clean all over. Small, cosy place with all you need - except, comment from my British husband who drinks a lot of tea: a kettle might be useful 😅 A place definitely to be recommended.

We had a wonderful stay at Anna’s house. From the moment we arrived, we felt completely at home. The place is incredibly peaceful, perfect for anyone looking for a quiet retreat. The surrounding area is stunning, with beautiful walks through the forest just around the corner. The house itself is spotless, minimalist, and thoughtfully arranged. Everything was exactly as described. Anna, the host, is truly a ray of sunshine; kind, welcoming, and always helpful. We already can’t wait to come back. Highly recommended!

We really enjoyed Kiira's place. Very nice location, fairly close to city center with everything you might need and very reasonably priced. Definitely recommended!

I stayed in a very cozy and well-decorated studio in central Eskilstuna, located on a charming, old street near the water. The accommodation had a personal and warm atmosphere, with antique details and tasteful design that gave the feeling of stepping into another time, while everything was comfortable and well maintained. The location was perfect, close to both nature and the city's amenities. A pleasant place that suits those who appreciate tranquility, culture and aesthetics. Highly recommended

I wanted a peaceful place where I could have time to rest, think and relax for a few weeks and that was just what I got in this apartment. Good hiking opportunities right outside the door, easy access to the city center by bus, peaceful surroundings. The apartment is small, but contains everything you need for a longer stay. Maria is a great host. She was always gentle and friendly, responded quickly to any inquiries, and was always on the offer page when I met her or someone from her family out. She even brought me home baked rolls one afternoon. I am happy to recommend Maria's place and will be happy to come back another time.

We had a very pleasant stay

I would have given 6 stars if it was available. We had been traveling Scandinavia for the last couple of weeks and Oliver and his father’s spot was easily our favorite. He was very accommodating and helpful. We had bad weather a couple of days and he did everything he could to make it up to us. Went above and beyond in every aspect. I even got to catch some Swedish fish in their lake! He set the boat in and had fishing poles. I hope I get to go back some day!

Monica was a really responsive host and instructions were clear and easy to follow. The location is great, can easily access local transit including metro into the City.

We had a lovely stay in Daniel's place. It was clean and comfortable and we'd happily come back - thank you!

Spacious. Home-like. Comfortable. Convenient. New. Well equipped.

William was very responsive and helpful to bridge our move between two of his apartments

Janne was very quick to respond and provided clear instructions for check-in. The home was cozy and had all the amenities we needed.

We had a grand stay in Tobias place. Location is great and being in a cul de sac, nice and quiet. Place is small (toilet is tough if you have long legs!), but a nice place with good fittings. Tobias was very responsive.

Hanna & Anita's place was the perfect, cozy stay for our one week stay in Stockholm. They thought of everything to make the place feel like home, from the extra towels to coffee and tea; towels to sit on in the sauna and a clothes line inside the sauna. Anita went above and beyond during our stay. One example: After a long day of travel, we couldn't wait to relax. When we arrived to the place, it was warm and nicely lit. The sauna quickly warmed us up. If you are looking for a peaceful and comfortable place that is away from the hustle and bustle of the city, but still close by, we recommend Anita and Hanna's place. Tak :)

we were well informed about everything, all was waiting and prepared for our coming, very enjoyable and restful place. :)
