Pets not allowed
This nature house is located in central Sweden, near the Norwegian border, in the Värmland region (Torsby), not far from the village of Lekvattnet. The region is characterized by vast forests dotted with small lakes, tundra-like plains, and gently rolling hills. This is a rugged and unspoiled area where nature is still truly wild. This nature house is an old hunting lodge from the late 1960s, situated at the highest point in the area on the western flank of the Rottna Valley. It’s a “back to basics” destination where you can relax. No running water, no electricity. Lighting is powered by solar panels. For heat, there’s a wood stove (5 EUR/night). Cooking is done on gas (a small gas-powered refrigerator is available for 4 EUR/night). Water is provided in jerry cans. The restroom is a dry toilet. Showering or doing laundry can be arranged by appointment at another location (for an additional fee). A charging station for electric cars is 4 km away. Our own residence is located 4 km away by the river in the valley. You’re welcome to stop by there for questions, workshops, the sauna, or assistance.
Nature and surroundings
The area has a lot to offer nature lovers who want to “get back to basics”—in both summer and winter. At the right time of year, there are, for example, berries, blackberries, mushrooms, and much more in abundance. There’s also plenty of Finnish culture here. Most of Sweden’s Finnish-style smoke saunas are located in this area. The cabin is situated on a gravel road, from which you can immediately set out on your hiking, cross-country skiing, and trekking adventures through these incredibly beautiful, vast forests and tundra plains. For active adventurers, we also offer (by arrangement, for an additional fee) various guided tours and clinics. Canoeing, swimming, fishing, 300-meter rifle target shooting, cooking over a wood fire, mushroom and berry picking, spotting beavers, moose, and wolves,Argo 6x6/ATV tours, snowshoeing, ice fishing, downhill skiing, cross-country skiing, sauna, etc. For those seeking relaxation, there’s a Finnskogen Nature Wellness program, including massages. If you’re looking for adventure, nature, and tranquility, this is your next travel destination.

A small, cozy cottage with a separate bedroom. Basic, but with everything you need. Picked blueberries in the “garden” and made jam. Spotted a moose with its calf during an evening drive.
A very warm welcome!Klein, gezellig ingericht huisje met aparte slaapkamer. Basic, maar met alles wat je nodig hebt. Bosbessen geplukt in de 'tuin' en jam gemaakt. Eland met kalfje gespot tijdens een avondritje.
Heel vriendelijke ontvangst!The area around the cottage is completely peaceful; there are no views from the cottage, but it is situated right in the middle of the forest.
Er heerst totale rust in de omgeving van het huisje, geen vergezichten vanaf het huis, maar gelegen midden in het bos.

It was a wonderful experience to be without electricity and running water for a change, but nestled in the woods. René and Caroline are great hosts. We were welcomed very warmly, and René even helped us out late in the evening. We highly recommend the jeep tour. Even if the moose don’t make an appearance, he shows you beautiful spots you wouldn’t find on your own. The cozy meal Caroline prepared was delicious. It felt like a conversation with dear friends.
Es war eine sehr schöne Erfahrung mal ohne Strom und Wasser, dafür im Wald gelegen. Rene und Caroline sind super Gastgeber. Wir wurden sehr nett empfangen und René hat uns sogar spät Abends bei noch geholfen. Die Jeeptour können wir sehr empfehlen. Selbst wenn die Elche sich nicht sehen lassen zeigt er wunderschöne Flecken, welche man alleine nicht findet. Das gemütliche Essen was Caroline vorbereitet hat, war köstlich. Es war wie eine Unterhaltung mit lieben Bekannten.
The silence was indescribable; only the birds treated us to their song.
Die Ruhe war unbeschreiblich nur dir Vögel verwöhnten uns mit ihrem Gesang.

The cottage is back to basic but equipped with everything you need. The bed is comfortable, with limited power there is some lighting and it is very cozy. There is a gas stove for cooking and the rest of the furniture is practical.
Het huisje is back to basic maar wel voorzien van alles wat je nodig hebt. Het bed is comfortabel, met beperkte stroom is er een beetje verlichting en het is zeer gezellig ingericht. Er is een gasfornuis om te koken en de verdere meubels zijn praktisch.
Wonderful surroundings, although it is not completely quiet anyway. You can hear the wind in the trees, the birds singing, buzzing bees on the heather flowers. The view from the mountain is fantastic. Also got to spot wildlife, both a wolf and mother moose with her calf!
Heerlijke omgeving, al is het toch niet helemaal stil. Je hoort de wind in de bomen, de vogeltjes die zingen, zoemende bijen op de heide bloemen. Het uitzicht vanaf de berg is fantastisch. Ook wild mogen spotten, zowel een wolf als moeder eland met haar kalf!
