I Went Looking For A Cheap Cabin In The Northern Sweden Woods (Story 1)

I went cabin hunting! Let me take you along my summer in Sweden where I searched for a cheap cabin to renovate and live in permanently. I tour all the cabins I looked at and share details of location and price. Part 2 is coming next! After that... all the renovations!

You have gone to the woods with more integrity than Henry Thoreau. You are not taking your laundry to your mother, or having someone clean for you. You are living simply. He said, “beware of all enterprises that require new clothes, ” so you make your own. Wonderful.

I’ve lived in Sweden 38 years ...don’t worry about neighbours nearby, Swedes tend to keep to themselves and leave you to your own devices

I brought my cabin in Sweden 17 years ago.It was the first one I looked at and I immediately felt an affinity with it. Buying it is probably one of the smartest things I've done.

Buying a cabin in Sweden is like my biggest dream. Thanks for the look inside these 😊

It took me 5 years of looking at places. One place had only 3 pictures on the sellers site and they were not well taken. I went to look at it, and it was beautiful, everything I was looking for. I can only assume it wasn't selling because of the crappy pictures....Everyone asks me how I found such a nice for the video.

I'm not surprised heading to the North parts of Sweden. Mobody wants to go to the south of anymore these days..

I live in Finland and we have maybe even more open space since we are about 4 million people less than in Sweden. Welcome to see Finland too some day! Our nature is very similar, very beautiful and peaceful too, maybe just a bit more lakes in here.

Yessss!! you found a cabin! Me and my sister met you when viewing a summerhouse in Sweden. BTW we bought the cabin that you show at 0:18 :D . Hope you're doing well! I'll be following your journey on here! Best of luck!

I’m a long ways out on your journey, Rosie and I absolutely have fallen in love with your channel. You have a gift, really. I hope to be like you someday even as a grandmother ❤ thank you.

20:13 quickly found out that the tap is there but there is no water, it's just part of the kitchen layout.
nice, i'm gonna turn all my rooms into kitchen like room but only one functional kitchen, visitors would probably love it.

[ArtWytch]

You are so brave and I love your sense of adventure. I don't drive and have wondered how easy it is to get around Sweden. You are an inspiration!

[melindamcculloch]

I love your channel so much I decided to go back and watch all your cabin stories from the beginning! Looking forward to seeing how it all started. Thank you for the wonderful content!

When I bought my place… it was for the most part complete and I was iffy about buying one so done…to my surprise even as done as it was I found myself changing… upgrading…. personalizing… adding and am still not done after 3 years. I am completely comforted knowing that since things are already stable, secure…finished….my changes can be done at my pace and when I’m ready…and I can do them without any pressures…..so don’t be sidelined by something more finished than you’d like if you like it otherwise……there are always things to be done and things take time.

It’s interesting how you measure each cabin. Water, power, no near neighbours, insulation and slightly remote. You really are an inspiration.

[ruetherne]

im rewatching all your videos and its so fun to see what other cabins you considered before you chose the one im so familiar with.

[AliceFFS]

Im quite late to the party, but hey! Welcome to sweden! 😍 i've lived here all my 33 year long life and im excited to see more of your journey in the land of polarbears and wilderness (spoiler: there is no polarbears 🙄). It is fun to see my own country through the eyes of someone else, a stranger from across the pond 😅

[wildflowerwind]

My god you have courage. I can't believe you walked all these places.

[Noddy]

So glad to have found you. You have a very strong independent spirit. I like the minimal aspect to your travel and you do not depend of personal motorised transport.

[sheilakethley]

This whole video is beautiful. I fell in love with cabin six as my childhood home in Massachusetts had a beautiful stand of Birch trees!

[batcavegirl]

I loved the unfiltered nature shots. Thank you!

Hello Rosie, nice to see you searching for the perfect house/cabin in Sweden, you've got almost the
same requirements as me. like no roads no direct neighbours etc...
If you could raise your budget a little, there are suddenly a lot more options.
Did you ever think about Scotland and France?, those winters in Sweden are long and cold,
but certainly beautiful.
