About the host
Hosted by Chaitanya Kobula
I am a passionate traveler, nature lover, and aviation enthusiast who enjoys exploring new places and cultures. Originally from India, I moved to Sweden in 2015 and embraced its culture, nature, and simplicity.
I love traveling with my wife and curious 8-year-old son, capturing moments through photography, and discovering new flavors.

Why they chose this property
We chose Oterbäcken because it felt like the kind of place where our family could truly breathe and be together. From the first time we visited, we felt an immediate sense of calm. The village has a gentle, family-friendly atmosphere, and the closeness to Lake Vänern adds a feeling of space and freedom that we had always wanted for ourselves and for our son.
As a family, we love the simple joys this area offers. Morning walks to the lake, our son running ahead on the quiet streets, the fresh smell of the forest after rain, and the peaceful stillness in the evenings. In summer, the long, bright days allow us to spend hours outdoors. We swim, explore the small harbor, walk to the beach for ice cream, and enjoy those magical Swedish sunsets that seem to last forever. In winter, everything becomes quiet and cosy, and it feels like the perfect place to slow down together.
We also appreciate how Oterbäcken balances peace with convenience. You are close to small towns, forest trails, and scenic lakeside roads where we often take family drives. Some of our favourite moments are completely unplanned, like stopping by the water just to watch the light change or letting our son explore the woodland paths nearby.
This area makes it easy to disconnect from busy routines and reconnect with each other. Whether we are playing by the lake, watching boats in the marina, or simply sitting outside as our son looks for birds and squirrels, we always feel grounded here. Oterbäcken has become a place where our family feels at home, and we hope it offers the same sense of peace and connection to every guest who stays with us.

What makes this property unique
Our home blends the cozy charm of a traditional Swedish getaway with modern comforts that make family vacations and remote work effortless. From the moment you step inside, you’re welcomed by soft Nordic light, the calm of a lakeside village, and the feeling of being somewhere peaceful, safe, and deeply relaxing.
Guests love the single-level layout, ideal for young children and older relatives. With 150/100 Mbps Wi-Fi and a dedicated workspace, it’s easy to stay connected while surrounded by nature. The fully equipped kitchen invites you to slow down and enjoy simple moments - cooking family meals, preparing Swedish fika on a rainy afternoon, or packing a picnic for the lake.
The private garden and covered wooden deck often become the heart of your stay - perfect for relaxed breakfasts, quiet reading in the shade, or summer barbecues as the sky turns pastel at sunset. The neighborhood is quiet, safe, and family-friendly, giving you both privacy and easy access to nature.
We’re just a short walk from Lake Vänern, Sweden’s largest lake. Start your morning with a peaceful stroll to the water, enjoy a refreshing swim, or wander through the harbor as boats gently pass by. Evenings invite board games, open windows with cool breezes, or simply unwinding with your favorite show.
For families seeking something unforgettable, the lawn offers a magical summer experience: set up a tent and sleep under the stars. Far from city lights, the night sky feels close and full of wonder - thousands of stars shimmering above. Children treasure moments like these: lying under blankets, spotting constellations, whispering stories, and falling asleep to the sounds of nature.
(A small pop-up tent is available - you can request it before check-in.)
Whether you’re here to unwind, explore, or spend time with the people you love, our home is more than a place to stay - it’s a warm, welcoming haven where special memories are made.
