Farm Stay on Ołland Island, Sweden: Stonecutters Farm via Airbnb

Experience the Charm of Swedish Baltic Island Cottages

For a unique getaway, consider a Baltic island hopping holiday featuring Swedish cottage rentals and vintage-inspired Airbnb homes. One standout destination is the island of Gotland. Known for its cozy cafés, artist studios, farm shops, sandy beaches, and relaxed atmosphere, Gotland is ideal for cottage stays.

Unique Cottage Rentals in Swedish Baltic Islands

There's a variety of cottage rentals available on these islands, each offering a unique experience.

Waterfront cottages on Gotland boast architect-designed homes with large terraces, fully equipped kitchens, double bedrooms, loft sleeping spaces, and scenic views of nature. These cottages are conveniently located near beaches like Sandviken.

Tiny beach cabins provide a simple, cozy retreat with essentials like kitchenettes, sofa beds, and small bathrooms. These cabins are often placed near piers, allowing for a swim right outside.

Vintage-inspired cottages showcase a Scandinavian aesthetic, featuring wood-burning stoves, natural wood kitchen worktops, sheepskin cushions, and terraces with firepits. This charm and warmth make them perfect for countryside or seaside vacations.

Rustic and renovated cottages in archipelago or coastal towns offer authentic materials and nature immersion, often featuring amenities like saunas, boat docks, and barbecue spots.

Recommended Areas for Cottage Rentals

Some recommended areas for cottage rentals include:

Gotland (including Östergarn and Sandviken areas), which offers quieter nature, beaches, and cultural landmarks, and is close to small farm shops and hiking trails.

Stockholm County (e.g., Täljö) provides options with private saunas and wood decks, blending classic cottage comfort with a bit more accessibility to urban areas.

Gävle Municipality offers highly rated cottages by the sea, often refurbished with authentic materials and strong host reputations.
