Fanbyn

Fanbyn is a cozy holiday home in an easily accessible location.

The house is located on the edge of the village of Fanbyn with widely spaced houses. It is located near the E14 that connects Sundsvall with Östersund, and ends in Trondheim after the border of Norway. The grounds on which the cottage stands are 2 hectares in size and run down to the lake that you overlook. The view from the house on the Sundsjön with one of the islands and the white church of Fjällsta on the other side is great. The house is in a very quiet place, but the supermarket in Gällo is 9 min (10km) drive close. The large city of Östersund is a short 40 min drive away (40km). A beautiful place to be in both summer and winter! The house is equipped with fast internet through fiber optic & wifi.

Layout of the house
The entrance door is located under the covered porch (2024). From the hall upon entering is the renovated bathroom straight ahead. Also from the hall access to the kitchen, living room and stairs. Next to the kitchen with dining table is a small sitting room with a view over the lake. On the first floor there is a landing with access to two spacious bedrooms. Both bedrooms have a double bed (2m x 1.6m). In one of the bedrooms there is a single bed (2m x 90cm). In the garden there is another cabin with a single bed on the first floor.

Kitchen
The kitchen is equipped with an electric stove with 4 hotplates and oven. The compact built-in refrigerator has a small freezer compartment. Furthermore, the kitchen is equipped with all standard amenities such as kettle, coffee machine, microwave, toaster and baking. The cleaning cabinet contains the vacuum cleaner, mop, etc. There is no dishwasher available. In the kitchen is the dining table with 4 chairs. There are also two folding chairs.

Living room
The living room has a sofa, coffee table and Android television with DVD player. One of the windows also offers a view over the lake.

Bathroom
The bathroom , renovated in early 2024, is located on the ground floor. This is now equipped with underfloor heating and has a walk-in shower with lockable doors. Next to the toilet there is a small sink.

Winter
Because the street on which the house is located is kept free of snow all year round, you can easily reach the house all year round . In winter, winter tires are enough to get there. Diagonally opposite the house is the village hall where an illuminated cross-country ski track has been built (2km). Just before Gällo are the local ski slopes of Mickelbacken. Several ski areas can be found at a greater distance. But you can even ski here all year round because the longest ski tunnel is in Gällo (open all year round!).

Transport
You can fly via Arlanda Stockholm and then with a domestic flight to Östersund. Alternatively, you could also take the (night) train from Arlanda to Gällo station. An alternative is to fly to Trondheim (as KLM does every day) and then take the train or (rental) car. Arlanda is about 5 hours away by car.
If you travel the entire journey by car, the night ferry from Kiel to Oslo is highly recommended but often pricey due to its popularity. A cheaper alternative is the Finnlines night ferry from Travemunde (near Lübeck) to Malmö.

For the little ones
In the storage room on the first floor there is a playpen, Ikea high chair, baby bath and (portable) camping bed that can be grabbed when desired.

Heating / cooling
The house is heated by a new air conditioning unit installed in the central hall. With this unit, the whole house is heated (or can be cooled in summer). The bathroom has underfloor heating with timer. In the sitting rooms there is an electrically adjustable radiator if desired. There is no wood stove.

Water sports
A few hundred meters away is a 'launch place' (see photos). The locals launch their fishing boats here with the trailer behind the car. You can also launch your canoe there. You can then sail it to your own site. There you can also pull the boat / canoe onto land. The lake is popular among fishermen because of its size and depth, the fish become quite large, according to the neighbors.

Sights
Giman is a 15-minute drive away: the most popular place for the Swedes to fly fish. But for nature lovers a beautiful place to walk on a beautifully landscaped plank path that runs along the river.
Midsweden 365 Indoor Skiing which is open all year round.
