Stuga Eos — our little cabin by the woods and lake in Holmsjö
We live in Karlskrona, about 30 minutes away, and this is our small guest cabin in a quiet stugby by the lake. It's simple, calm, with a big grass yard for kids to run around and forest and lake trail close by. If you want quiet mornings, fresh air, and an easy base for exploring Blekinge, you'll probably like it here.
We keep bookings through Airbnb, but you're always welcome to email us first if you're wondering whether the stuga is right for you.

Is this place for you?
This stuga is a good fit if…
- You like simple and practical, not luxury finishes.
- You want nature close by, with a forest lake and trail in easy walking distance.
- You're happy with a small indoor space, a big yard, and spending a lot of time outdoors.
- You want an easy base for day trips to Karlskrona, Ronneby, and the Blekinge archipelago.
- You like a place that feels calm but not empty in summer, with a few neighbours and camping guests around.
Maybe not a fit if…
- You're looking for hotel-level finishes or luxury interiors.
- You want complete seclusion with no one around — the stuga sits in a small stugby of around 27 cabins, and there's a tiny forest campsite next door.
- You want to rely on walking to restaurants and shops; having a car makes life much easier here.
- You're planning loud evenings or parties — this is a quiet, nature-focused place.
A typical day at Stuga Eos
Morning usually starts slowly — coffee at the breakfast bar looking out over the yard, kids already out on the grass, and a quick walk down to the lake for a dip if the weather allows.
During the day you can head out for a swim, take the forest trail around the lake, or do a day trip to Karlskrona, Ronneby Brunn, or small harbours along the coast. It's an easy base if you want both quiet and small adventures.
Evenings often mean grilling outside, watching the light fade through the trees, and then coming inside for board games, books, and a calm night in the cabin.

Inside the cabin
Sleeping
There are two small bedrooms plus an extra bed in the living room. One bedroom has a 140 cm bed, the kids’ room has a bunk bed, and the living room has a new, comfortable extra bed. It works best for a couple with kids, or up to five people who are happy in a compact space.
Kitchen and eating
The kitchen is simple but practical — you can cook normal family meals, make coffee and breakfast, and eat either at the small table inside or outside when the weather is good. It's not a chef's kitchen, but it covers the basics.
Bathroom
The bathroom is newly renovated and private, with a shower and everything you need. It isn’t big, but it’s well laid out and doesn’t feel cramped.
Living area
The living space is cosy rather than big: space for reading, board games, and slow breakfasts looking out over the yard. When the weather is good, most people end up drifting between the cabin and the outdoor seating and grill.
Outside: forest, grill, and the lake trail
Just outside the cabin you have a large grass yard (around 1300 m²) where kids can run and play, and space to sit with a coffee, read, or grill dinner. A big hazelnut and an old oak give good shade in the strong summer sun, and the rest is grass sloping gently away. It's not a manicured garden, just a green, quiet yard.
The lake is a short walk away along a small trail. It’s a protected freshwater lake with no motorboats, so it stays calm — good for swims, SUPs, canoes, and quiet paddles. We can help with SUP rental, and the nearby campsite offers kayaks and canoes.
Good to know before you book
- The lake is a protected freshwater reserve — there are no motorboats, but SUPs, canoes, and rowboats are welcome.
- We can arrange SUP rental, and there's a nearby lakeside campsite with kayaks and canoes if you want more time on the water.
- You'll almost certainly want a car for groceries and exploring; the closest supermarket is ICA Supermarket in Holmsjö (about 7 minutes by car).
- Trains (Krösatågen) stop at Holmsjö — if you're travelling without a car, we can usually arrange a simple station pick-up.
- This is a quiet, nature-first place. We ask guests to keep late evenings calm out of respect for neighbours, wildlife, and the lake.
What guests say
“We had a wonderful time here. The accommodation is located on a campsite in the middle of nature. The surroundings are fantastic. The cottage has everything you need. It's a bit worn down in some places, which isn't too bad. We will be happy to come back. 🙂🇸🇪”
“Amazing location,excellent communikation with the hosts,peaceful and beautiful.We would definitely come back.”
“There was everything a small family needs for the stay. The area is stunningly beautiful, and the hikes always had a surprise for the children: swimming spots, climbing rocks for plenty of variety, or raspberries and blueberries until their bellies were full. The hosts are incredibly friendly. Even the hammock attachment was repaired especially for us. If you want, you can rent SUP boards or a canoe, incl. Rent life jackets. Bread service is offered on this occasion 😉”
“We liked the location of the vacation home very much, and it was an ideal base for our excursions. The contact with the hostess was always friendly and straightforward. We were very pleased with the chocolate to welcome us – a nice touch. However, the house itself is a bit outdated and worn accordingly. Overall, we still had a nice stay and thank you for the hospitality.”
“We were the first guests in Ljubica's vacation home and felt very comfortable from the beginning. The house is equipped with everything you need as a family to have a relaxing vacation. The house is very, very quiet. The terrace is perfect for sharing meals. The area is gorgeous. We had a perfect 14-day vacation and will be back. Communication with Ljubica was excellent. Thank you for everything.”
“Beautiful area with small children, lake within walking distance and close to forest. Furthermore, there were toys in the garden so that the children could also have fun there.”
Guests often mention…
- Early morning dips and SUP laps on the motor-free forest lake
- Evening grilling under the trees with starlit skies overhead
- Board games, books, and slow breakfasts looking out over the green yard

Where we are

Why we share this place
We live in Karlskrona but spend as much time as we can out here because we love the mix of forest, lakes, and small coastal towns. Letting guests stay in Stuga Eos is our way of sharing that pace of life for a little while.
