Seaside Retreat: A Cozy Little Cabin Escape on Gotland

Spend your next holiday in the heart of one of Sweden's most iconic holiday spots - Gotland, an island in the Baltic Sea. As I take a break this weekend, I'm enjoying the public holiday, or a "red day," at my summer cottage.

But today, I'd like to share some unique and charming Airbnb rentals that you might want to consider for your next visit.

One such gem is a tiny beach cabin in Väskinde, a charming fishing community. This recently renovated house is just 50 meters from the sea, boasting large sea-facing windows shielded with a wooden screen. The cabin offers a perfect little escape, especially for the weekend, and allows for a refreshing dip and the sound of waves at night.

Another standout rental is Boge Huset on Gotland's east coast. This idyllic summerhouse combines a pool, large garden, and a lovingly decorated interior. It's both a personal holiday paradise for the owners and an inviting place for guests who want tranquility and access to Gotland's culture and nature.

For those seeking a cozy coastal experience, there's a charming little house in Lickershamn. This property is hosted by a Superhost and offers a vibrant harbor, restaurants, beach, and scenic rauk formations nearby.

If you're a nature lover, the Ateljéhuset in Lau is a must-see. Located 300 meters from the sea with views over the Baltic and adjacency to Danbo Nature Reserve, this house is a paradise for hikers and offers close access to a 10-km sandy beach and excellent fishing spots.

For a taste of traditional rural life, Grandma's Brygghus is a two-floor accommodation in Lau that offers a nostalgic ambiance reflecting the island's past.

Finally, a rustic summer cottage with a pool is another beautiful home to see on Gotland.

Gotland is known for its cosy cafes, artist studios, farm shops, beaches, and laid-back, joyful vibe. Renting a car is recommended for exploring Gotland at your own pace. A guide for exploring Gotland can be found at the provided link.

I'll be taking a break this weekend and will respond to readers' thoughts and observations later. Until then, I hope you find your perfect Airbnb rental and enjoy all that Gotland has to offer!
