Cottages and Rooms
Åsens By has been inhabited for over 600 years. Each house has its own history and bears traces of generations of inhabitants. Today, you can stay in five of the village’s twenty or so houses and experience life in a small Småland village at the turn of the century, with small-scale farming and nature just outside your door.
The accommodation consists of the idyllic houses: Södergården Väster (The South West Farm), Undantaget (The Retire House), Prästgården (The Parsonage), Arrendatorsbostaden (The Tenant’s Residence) and Brygghuset (The Brewery House). Prästgården (The Parsonage) can be booked per room or as a cottage, while the other houses are booked as cottages.
If you are several groups wishing to stay together, Prästgården (The Parsonage), Arrendatorsbostaden (The Tenant’s Residence) and Brygghuset (The Brewery House). belong to the same farm, while Södergården Väster (The South West Farm), Undantaget (The Retire House)belong to another. The village operates on a self-catering basis, but breakfast, bed linen and towels, and final cleaning can be pre-booked.

Södergården
Number of rooms: One double room, two twin rooms, and 2 extra beds.
Södergården Väster (The South West Farm), or “Gustava’s” as the farm was commonly called after its owner Gustaf Jönsson (Tekla’s grandfather’s brother), has a rich history. Johannes and his wife Sara Lena sold the farm when the family emigrated to America, and since then, the house has been renovated several times—most recently to accommodate guests from near and far.
Södergården has three bedrooms: one double room and two twin rooms. Extra beds are available either as fold-out beds or in pull-out kitchen sofas in the living room. A baby cot is available to borrow (pre-booking required). The bedrooms and WC/shower are located upstairs, and on the ground floor there is a kitchen and living room. There is no TV in the house. Free WiFi is included. The staircase to the upper floor is narrow and steep, and the house has consistently high thresholds. Outside, there is garden furniture and a barbecue. Pets are welcome. Shared laundry room in a separate building.
