I hjärtat av Dalslands lugna landsbygd
West Cottage Sweden ligger i en stillsam del av Dalsland — omgiven av skog, sjöar, djurliv och det långsamma skandinaviska livet. Området är känt för sin orörda natur, sitt lugn och sina många möjligheter till friluftsliv.

Nära allt, men härligt avskilt
Du har sjöar, vandringsleder, kanotleder och utsiktsplatser bara några minuter bort, men platsen känns helt privat.

I närheten

  • Håveruds akvedukt & Dalslands kanal

  • Skogsstigar för promenader, löpning och djurspaning

  • Sjöar för bad, paddling och fiske

  • Tysta landsvägar för cykling

  • Lokala caféer, gårdsbutiker och små byar

Lätt att nå Trots det lugna läget är stugan enkel att nå med bil. Parkering finns direkt vid huset.
