This second floor studio apartment exceeds expectations with high-quality, comfortable furnishings and an inviting vibe. Vetehuset-Skorda provides a home base on Lindsborg's historic Main Street while exploring the countryside or simply walking out the door to shops and galleries.

You’ll reach Vetehuset-Plantera (Swedish for “the Wheat House - Harvest”) by taking the private elevator from the carport to the second floor. It is housed inside a structure, designed by Brian Freeman, that mimics a grain elevator, hence the name of this historic apartment. A lovely vestibule is the perfect spot to sip your morning coffee as you check your email or plan your day. The Berquist and Nelson Drugstore Building, where Vetehuset is nestled on the second floor, was awarded a listing on the National Register of Historic Places.

The cozy sofa and two chairs form a lovely conversation area, while convenient coffee and end tables enjoying a beverage or snack so simple. You’ll love the unusual artwork created by a local artist. Boasting plenty of light, you’ll probably want to break out the novel you’ve been planning to read.

You’ll slumber in comfort and style in a king-size bed with a Casper mattress. The sleeping area is set apart from the living area, which creates a nice sense of separation and privacy not commonly found in most studio apartments. A closet is nearby.
