About By the River

By the River is an exclusive hideaway located by the banks of Esrum Å in Dronningmølle, offering a unique setting for unforgettable stays for up to 16 guests, where relaxation, connection, and activities seamlessly blend together year-round. Situated on a 7,000-year-old Stone Age settlement, the property combines architectural elegance, comfort, and the wild beauty of nature.

Through the house’s large glass facades, you can enjoy panoramic views of the gentle stream of the river, unspoiled wilderness, and fascinating wildlife – as if you have your own live Discovery Channel.

With its crystal-clear water from Denmark’s second-largest lake, Esrum Lake, the river flows through the landscape on its 7-kilometer journey to the sea. Along the way, it passes the iconic Esrum Monastery and winds past By the River – this architectural gem, which is just a fifteen-minute boat ride from the sea. Hop into kayaks from the dock at this unique location and feel the sensation of gliding along with the river’s calm current. Experience the simultaneously euphoric and naturally peaceful feeling of connecting with the power of nature and the harmony of the elements, as the river merges into the sea at the beautiful beaches of Dronningmølle.

You can also take a refreshing dip in the clear water before returning to the soothing warmth of the sauna.
