A cozy, well-furnished cottage that sleeps two to three people, including a baby. This cottage is located about 200 meters from the main house. Included in the rental price: electricity, fireplace, a made-up bed, a two-person canoe, and bicycles. There is a two-burner stovetop, a refrigerator with a freezer compartment, an oven, and a microwave. There is a fireplace. Firewood is provided free of charge. There is no running water in the cottage. Upon arrival, you’ll receive 40 liters of water in designated containers, which are replaced regularly.

Nature and surroundings

Hirvi is a wonderful place for nature lovers and those seeking peace and quiet. With a little luck, you might spot a moose, lynx, beaver, badger, roe deer, fox, or wolf on the property. Bird and plant enthusiasts will also find plenty to enjoy here. Birds: whooper swan, black-throated diver, short-eared owl, osprey, capercaillie. You’re right in the heart of nature! The cottage overlooks a small lake (Ulfsjon) where you can fish with a fishing license. A private boardwalk leads to the dock. There are also several swimming lakes in the immediate vicinity. Hirvi is beautifully situated on the edge of the forest and offers many hiking opportunities. The nearest supermarket is about 10 kilometers away in Ostmark. You can also fill up on gas and use an ATM there. The larger town of Torsby, with extensive shopping options and various restaurants, is 30 kilometers away. The Norwegian border is about 12 kilometers from the nature house. Oslo and Karlstad are about 130 kilometers from the cottage. You can buy small groceries in Lekvattnet.

    Enjoying the Elements of Nature

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    We really enjoyed this charming little cottage in the middle of the forest; it’s wonderfully peaceful there, and you feel connected to nature. There’s no running water, which makes you more mindful. We built a fire in the bowl and then grilled some Swedish meatballs. It’s all about the natural elements here. Just enjoying yourself—nothing more, nothing less.

    Keep in mind that the water comes from jerry cans and must be heated first.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    We’ve completely unwound in this cozy stuga with its kind, enthusiastic, and dedicated owners. The breathtaking Swedish nature—with its nearby lake, countless butterflies, roe deer, foxes, and moose, and its deafening silence—is beyond description. Highly recommended for anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life for a while.
    If you’d like to get out and do something every now and then, the surrounding area offers more than enough options, such as hiking, biking, swimming, fishing, canoeing, or visiting one of the charming little towns nearby. Plus, beautiful Oslo is just a stone’s throw away.

    It’s a lovely little cottage. It’s great to just “potter around” and enjoy our own little spot far from home.
    We stayed in this cottage for a week. The toilet in a little cottage “downhill,” water from containers, and an outdoor shower were a bit unusual for us, but we adapted just fine. The swimming pond was nice and cold in the morning, and a dip was a great way to start the day. Washing our hair was quite an adventure—with a basin and a measuring cup—but it was so wonderful!
    A wonderful place to disconnect from your screens and spend your time simply observing and enjoying.
    We went on some lovely walks in the area and got a taste of Finnish culture in this part of Sweden.
    On the way back, we stopped at a big Loppis and bought a box of birch bark (from the 1800s, the seller said) and some carding combs. Happy as kids, we continued deeper into Sweden.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    The peace, space, and nature in the area are amazing! At night, it’s deafeningly quiet. There are plenty of hiking trails in the area, and you can find plenty of information about Finnish culture right in the village itself.
    The moose kept hiding from us. We didn’t see the bear or the lynx either. We did hear the cranes, and saw a deer with its fawn by the lake.
    We’d regularly get messages from Richard when he spotted moose in the “garden” early in the morning. Unfortunately, we were fast asleep…
