In the cosy log cabin of Skogslyckan (Swedish for "forest happiness") you will sleep comfortably in front of the fireplace and enjoy the freedom of being together. Around the corner, the blueberry forest awaits you, where you can walk and enjoy the peacefulness of the forest. Here there are many different lakes with stunning sunsets to choose between and during the day there are plenty of forest walks to explore. When you get hungry an outdoor dinner will be cooked for you by the fire. You chop wood, fetch water from the spring and bake your own bread. Towards the evening the sauna by the lake is lit, and afterwards you may dare a dip in the lake lit by the moon in the clear water. You will sleep well in the cabin's relaxing peacefulness and wake to the birdsong, breakfast and the never-ending forests to discover!
