Vandrarhem, or Swedish for hostel, is common way to spend vacations in Sweden. It's usually quite cheap - the quality can vary, but it's always clean & tidy.
The kitchens are shared & a good way to get in touch with other tourists. The vandrarhem gets you closer to nature and local events. Try it out!

I love archipelagos & Luleå archipelago may not be the biggest, but it's charming. There are cabins on several islands as well as saunas that are free to use.
