The Lake House
A timber house on the edge of a private lake, wrapped in pine and birch. A wood-fired sauna at the water, a long jetty, and the kind of silence that takes a day to hear. Best at dusk, when the water goes still.
View propertyA small collection of homes across Sweden — chosen for the people who travel to slow down, not to fill a calendar.
Novum is a small holiday-home brand in Sweden — a handful of carefully chosen homes by the lake and near the sea, looked after by a small team that answers the phone in person. Every booking is handled directly by us, with a key handed over by name and the kind of attention most platforms can't offer.
Each property is chosen by us — for the view, the light, the way the landscape sits around it. Built around saunas, open water, and the Swedish habit of doing very little, very well.

View propertyWe don't fill your calendar. We make space for it to empty — a sauna by the water, a boat at the jetty, a long lunch with no clock. Your week is yours.
Novum was started by a small team who grew up with Swedish summers — lake water, late light, and the family summer house. We rent out the kind of homes we'd happily stay in ourselves, and we look after every guest personally.
No lockboxes, no call centres, no surprise fees. Just a key handed over by name, a number you can call any time, and a stretch of Swedish quiet. Book direct — always.
