Utter Inn - Floating House On The LakeUtter Inn  

When you wake up in the Utter Inn, you will think you are still dreaming. After all, fish should not be swimming past your window, and that cloud is actually a jellyfish? What’s going on here?

Then you remember you booked a room in the unusual underwater hotel by Swedish artist Mikael Genberg.

For extra kitsch value, the above-water entrance looks just like a traditional Swedish house, except it’s in the middle of a lake.

There were plans for spa treatments to be provided by local Mermaids, but there was trouble with their union.

You can spend your days at the unique Utter Inn, swimming in the clear waters, or paddling your canoe to an uninhabited island for a feeling of pure privacy.

The peace and quiet is astounding. This is undoubtedly a place to be alone or spend quality time with those close to you.

There are no amenities, so you may want to bring your own drinks and food, but breakfast and water is provided by King Neptune… I mean a guy called Sven.

The contrasting view of Utter Inn with the skyline of Vasteras makes it look comical yet adorable.

There is sufficient space for two people sleeping on twin beds with rectangular underwater windows all around.

The fun doesn't stop during winter but gets better. When Vasteras Lake freezes, they cut a hole for Utter Inn's underwater suite.

So, when you exit your cute house, you can go ice skating in the beautiful Swedish sunset.
