Från vardagsrummet och sovrummet kommer du ut på ett trädäck med trappa ner till trädgården och bryggan. Det är ett naturskönt och ostört läge med hus i närheten men inte precis bredvid. Närheten till riksväg 32 gör det enkelt att ta sig hit. Vägen hörs, men för de allra flesta upplevs det inte som störande.
