The house was clean and equipped with everything. We had plenty of room with our family of 5.
Het huis was netjes en van alles voorzien. We hadden ruimte genoeg met ons gezin van 5.

We stayed with our family for two weeks in this fine house and enjoyed the space, tranquility and location. The house has three bedrooms, one of which has no door. Not a problem for us, but good to know. The bathroom is compact, but neat and equipped with a pleasant rain shower. The living room is comfortable and lends itself perfectly to Netflix in the evening. There is also a separate living room with a desk to work or write at, and an additional couch that is perfect for quietly reading a book. Outside is a sturdy garden set, ideal for outdoor dining, although the mosquitoes can be quite present at night. The view of the river is beautiful and immediately calming. A canoe is available; however, it takes some strength and skill to get it from the upper terrace to the water. Hiking opportunities abound in the immediate area, ranging from easy rounds to challenging treks. The location is really a plus for nature lovers.
We verbleven met ons gezin twee weken in dit fijne huis en hebben genoten van de ruimte, de rust en de ligging. Het huis heeft drie slaapkamers, waarvan één zonder deur. Voor ons geen probleem, maar goed om te weten. De badkamer is compact, maar netjes en voorzien van een prettige regendouche.
De woonkamer is comfortabel en leent zich uitstekend om ’s avonds te Netflixen. Daarnaast is er een aparte leefkamer met een bureau om aan te werken of schrijven, en een extra bank die perfect is om rustig een boek te lezen. Buiten staat een stevige tuinset, ideaal om buiten te eten, al kunnen de muggen ’s avonds flink aanwezig zijn.
Het uitzicht op de rivier is prachtig en geeft meteen rust. Er is een kano beschikbaar; wel vraagt het wat kracht en handigheid om deze vanaf het hoger gelegen terras naar het water te krijgen. Wandelmogelijkheden zijn er volop in de directe omgeving, variërend van eenvoudige rondjes tot uitdagende tochten. De ligging is echt een pluspunt voor natuurliefhebbers.Sometimes there are mornings when the world seems to reinvent itself. In Värmland we stayed in this house full of light and silence, with wooden steps that give under your feet and a kitchen where yellow and orange catch the sunlight. Outside a deer grazes, inside soft piano music sounds. At the desk overlooking the river, the day begins. We walk along Brattfallet, over rocks and roots, the adult children ahead, each in their own role: playful or just thoughtful. We seek coolness in the water, feeling the current let ourselves get a little carried away. We canoe through silence, through reflecting water full of floating leaves. We see moose, large and majestic and hold our breath. Wine and stories in the evening, mud on our shoes during the day. We buy new hiking boots in Ekshärad; the old ones are worn out, as they should be at the end of a good story. When we leave, the house still smells like coffee. The door closes softly. Sweden stays there. But we take something with us that stays.
Soms zijn er ochtenden waarop de wereld zich opnieuw lijkt uit te vinden. In Värmland verbleven we in dit huis vol licht en stilte, met houten treden die meegeven onder je voeten en een keuken waar geel en oranje het zonlicht vangen. Buiten graast een ree, binnen klinkt zachte pianomuziek. Aan het bureau met zicht op de rivier begint de dag. We wandelen langs Brattfallet, over rotsen en wortels, de volwassen kinderen vooruit, elk in hun eigen rol: speels of juist bedachtzaam. We zoeken verkoeling in het water, voelen de stroming laten ons een beetje meeslepen. We kanoën door stilte, door spiegelend water vol drijvende blaadjes. We zien elanden, groot en majestueus en houden onze adem in. ’s Avonds wijn en verhalen, overdag modder aan onze schoenen. We kopen nieuwe wandelschoenen in Ekshärad; de oude zijn versleten, zoals dat hoort aan het eind van een goed verhaal. Bij vertrek ruikt het huis nog naar koffie. De deur sluit zacht. Zweden blijft daar. Maar wij nemen iets mee dat blijft.

It is a cozy, nicely decorated comfortable cottage with stunning views of the river and fields of cranes. Spacious plot to play on as well.
Het is een gezellig, mooi ingericht comfortabel huisje met een schitterend uitzicht op de rivier en de velden met kraanvogels. Ruim perceel om op te spelen ook.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with our 4 children (4-16) and dog. The riverfront location is super beautiful! We always ended and started the day with a view of the river. Fishing was also nice from the small platform by the water. From as soon as you go a little further you are in the wilder Swedish nature. Waterfall Brattfalet is nearby with 2 nice hiking loops and through the app naturkartan there are still nice hikes within driving distance. The river Klaralven can also be navigated by canoe from Eksharad through various organizations.
We hebben enorm genoten van ons verblijf met onze 4 kinderen (4-16) en hond. De ligging aan de rivier is supermooi! We hebben de dag steeds afgesloten en begonnen met zicht op de rivier. Vissen was ook fijn vanaf het kleine platform aan het water. Van zodra je wat verder gaat zit je in de wilder Zweedse natuur. Waterval Brattfalet is vlakbij met 2 mooie wandellussen en via de app naturkartan zijn er nog mooie wandelingen te vinden op rij-afstand. De rivier Klaralven is vanuit Eksharad ook via verschillende organisaties met de kano af te varen.
