Stjärnfallet 6 is a timber holiday cabin near Lake Lidsjön in Södermanland, around 90 minutes south of Stockholm. Built in the style of a traditional Norwegian trysil hytte, the house combines pine-lined interiors, preserved original furnishings and expansive glazing overlooking the surrounding woodland.

The cabin spans 59sqm, with an additional 15sqm guest house added in 2016, and is arranged around an open-plan living space beneath a vaulted timber ceiling. Large windows draw light into the interior and frame views towards the lake, while a wood-burning stove sits at the centre of the main room. Much of the original pine joinery and built-in furniture remains intact.

Sliding doors open onto a timber deck with space for outdoor dining and glimpses of the water through the trees. The surrounding landscape lends itself to outdoor life, with swimming, canoeing, fishing and forest walks all accessible from the house.

The property also includes access to a private swimming and boat area shared through the local association, alongside communal amenities including a lakeside gathering space and boules court.

It’s listed for SEK 2,375,000 (USD $255,000–$260,000).
