Who are we?
We are Willem and Gea, we have been living here in Sweden for almost 11 years now. We moved here from the Netherlands for the peace and quiet. And we found it! And we would like you to enjoy this beautiful place too. This used to be a place for fishermen and hunters, mainly in the fall and winter, with the previous owner. We have changed this formation a bit by extending the season a bit by also being open in the summer months. So also for tourists, people who are looking for a quiet (home) workplace or are temporarily looking for a place to work in the area. From June 6 (National Day) until mid-February (end of hunting). Furthermore, there is certainly also a possibility to rent in consultation.
This is the place to be if you like peace and quiet. Beautiful forest paths, nice for cycling and walking or making day trips. Many lakes are ideal for fishing and kayaking. In the fall, it is good to pick berries or mushrooms here. The winters are wonderfully beautiful for cross-country skiing, ice fishing or renting a snowmobile from one of the rental companies in the area for a beautiful scooter tour. There are also opportunities in the area for dog sledding. In the winter, the Northern Lights can often be admired and photographed here.
From here, it is also great to drive the Vildmarksvägen completely or in parts to enjoy all the splendor.
In short, you can enjoy the beautiful nature in both summer and winter.
