Cottage on a hill overlooking Öresjö
Welcome to a charming cottage on a hilltop with a wonderful view of Öresjö, Borås’s largest lake. Here you’ll enjoy a peaceful stay surrounded by a beautiful oak forest that provides just the right amount of shade on sunny summer days. Right below the house, only about 100 meters away, is a dock where you can easily walk down for a refreshing dip in the lake.
You’re close to both nature and the city—perfect for those who want to explore hiking trails while still being close to shopping and entertainment. The cottage has been carefully renovated and offers comfortable, charming accommodations. Here, you can relax and enjoy the rural atmosphere while planning your next adventure.
The property is beautifully nestled in nature, and it’s not uncommon to see deer and moose passing by nearby. If you’d like to visit a larger swimming spot, Almenäs is about 900 meters away, featuring a cozy café open daily from May through August.
The Rya Åsar hiking trails are within easy reach, and you’re also close to Borås Zoo and the activities at Öresjö. Here, you can combine nature experiences with the energy of the city in just a few minutes.

We really enjoyed our stay. The beautiful surroundings, the proximity to nature, the tranquility, and the incredibly beautiful view of the lake all helped us relax completely. Communication with the hostess went very smoothly as well. The living areas were absolutely spotless and very tastefully furnished.

We received such a warm welcome that we felt right at home—it was like borrowing a house from a family member. The fact that the place exceeded our expectations based on the photos didn’t hurt either. I don’t think it’s possible to do the fantastic surroundings justice in a photo. The place itself was so fresh and lovely, and the absence of city noise was absolutely wonderful. They’ve really thought through every detail here, and we never once felt like we were missing anything. I can’t recommend this place highly enough.
