I spent a magical summer holiday in a secluded lakeside cabin in Perstorp with my boyfriend. We travelled there by train and then continued on e-scooter and bike, packing only the essentials to make the journey itself part of the adventure.
Our goal was to create content for our collaboration with Campanyon, but the trip quickly became so much more: a peaceful escape surrounded by nature, warm weather and unforgettable moments. The silent forest and the dark lake felt a little eerie after sunset, but that very mix of beauty and mystery made the experience all the more memorable.
Our unique stay at the private lake in Perstorp
Even the journey there felt like an adventure. We took the train and then continued by e-scooter and bike, carrying only what we needed. With every kilometre, the world grew quieter, and when we finally arrived it felt as though we had stepped into our own little hidden corner of nature.
The first thing that took my breath away was the private lake. It felt surreal to have an entire lake completely to ourselves. The cabin was surrounded by a deep, dark forest that almost looked black, creating the most beautiful contrast against the warm summer sun.
Even in clear daylight, the forest had a mysterious, almost enchanted feeling that gave me goosebumps in the best way. It was peaceful, magical and slightly eerie all at once, which made the whole experience feel like something straight out of a fairy tale.
Close to nature, around the clock
What I loved most was how close to nature the cabin made us feel. Waking up to the peaceful lake view and having breakfast outdoors in the fresh morning air, with the warm sun slowly rising, was one of my favourite moments of the trip.
The loft bed was another highlight. I loved falling asleep and waking up with a beautiful view of the lake straight from the bed. The cosy atmosphere, the silence of the forest and the evenings by the water made the whole stay unforgettable.

So much to experience at the lake
Take a peaceful walk through the surrounding forest and sink into the silence of nature.
Light up the outdoor BBQ and enjoy a slow dinner with a beautiful lake view.
Create your own cosy self-care evening with face masks, fresh fruit and a good book or music.
Start the morning with yoga or pilates on the jetty while listening to the birds and the gentle sounds of the water.
End the day with a relaxing soak in the outdoor bathtub, surrounded by forest and fresh air.
Spend time at the private lake, whether that's swimming, watching the sunset or simply sitting on the jetty taking in the peaceful atmosphere.
