Seasons in Småland
We experience Småland not only in summer. Here we share how we are in Annas Schwedenhaus in spring, summer, autumn, and winter.
Spring
In spring, nature awakens around the house. After arriving, Malte likes to head straight to the property and trees; Kathi sometimes sits by the fireplace and knits. Meanwhile, a shared workday at the house has become part of every vacation week. Outside, we are drawn to the forest, sometimes in the canoe, and just as often to cafés and small towns – the evenings belong again to the house.

Fireplace, garden, and a workday at the house
How differently we experience vacation in the Swedish house: knitting by the fireplace, outside on the property.
Forest, canoe, and city stroll
We are out in nature – and just as often in cafés, towns, and shops.
Summer
In summer, the days are long. We spend a lot of time outside: in the garden, at Skiren, and biking to the lake. In Eksjö, we create our own ice cream at the café and then sit in the backyard. This is how we spend summer in Annas Schwedenhaus.

Summer days in the holiday home

Autumn
As the days become quieter, the house feels closer. The trees change color, and the evenings often belong to the fireplace. Some days are workdays – painting the fence, finishing things around the house. This is how we experience autumn in Småland: quieter, closer to home.

Fireplace, Nature, and Working on the House
Hours by the fireplace, time in nature, working on the house.
Winter
When snow lies around the house, we like to sit by the fireplace. The evenings grow longer, and the house feels even closer. Behind a small door lies a chamber that we had long thought was a passage to the outbuilding. During the Jul season, we present our favorite Scandinavian Christmas books.

The Hidden Chamber
Behind a small door, we found a room that we did not expect.
