The location is just stunning and so peaceful, we loved sitting by the window with a cup of tea and just watching the trees and little birds, the lake is visible from the windows too. The cabin is so eco friendly, but you have absolutely everything you could need, warm and cosy with a great hot shower and everything needed to cook food in the kitchen. The eco toilet was not an issue at all (zero smell! ! ). There's no WiFi which was actually lovely because it meant we could switch our brains off for a few days and just read our books and play games, very much needed in todays chaotic world. The hosts were absolutely lovely, they provided local recommendations and were super responsive. We would absolutely stay here again :) Posted on Patrick Verified Ontzettend vriendelijke mensen, een prachtige Stuga in een fantastische omgeving. We voelden ons direct thuis en wilde niet meer weg. Je kunt in de omgeving goed vissen en er is een groot winkel terrein op 35-40 minuten afstand rijden. Posted on Grada Everdina Verified Het is een geweldige accommodatie, we hebben veel ervaring met airbnb huisjes, maar dit is een echt pareltje. Alles is aanwezig voor een goed verblijf, het huis is zo sfeervol en smaakvol ingericht. Super schoon. Communicatie met verhuurders erg vlot. Een absolute aanrader Posted on Hans Verified Toppenstuga i lugnt och naturskönt område. Mycket välutrustat! Posted on Marie Verified Très belle cabane, très bien décorée et super confortable, encore mieux que ce que les photos suggèrent ! Endroit parfait pour se détendre devant la cheminée, literie de qualité, à deux pas d´un très beau lac où faire du kayak avec une petite plage tranquille avec possibilité de barbecue. Un silence magnifique pour se reposer, entouré de forêts vierges et d´une luminosité unique... Supermarché très pratique à 10 minutes en voiture. Ron est toujours disponible pour donner des conseils avec réactivité et bonne humeur. Une semaine parfaite entre amis. Merci pour tout ! Posted on Annica Verified Vi stormtrivdes! Mysigt och med känsla av hemma. Vi var där under en mycket varm period och närhet till badstrand samt AC i stugan vid behov var underbart. Rekommenderas varmt! Posted on Hermannus Verified Het huis is leuk en rustig gelegen in een mooie omgeving. De communicatie met de Ronald en Tjarda was goed. Wij hebben hier meerdere dagen met veel plezier doorgebracht. Posted on Eva Therése Verified Mysig stuga med fint läge Posted on Vladyslav Verified Это просто потрясающее жильё. Оно невероятно атмосферное. Очень красивый, милый интерьер. Внутри очень уютно. Всё в лучших шведских традициях. Из нюансов - мобильная сеть ловит очень плохо (можно сказать, не ловит, нужно выходить к озеру). Однако это нельзя отнести к минусам. В помещении было всё необходимое для комфортного проживания - от приборов на кухне до всех расходников для приготовления пищи. Хозяева очень предусмотрительные и дружелюбные. Нам очень-очень понравилось. Я думаю, мы вернёмся сюда ещё раз зимой. Единственное, о чём вы можете пожалеть - это о том, что не остановились здесь на дольше:) Posted on Lies Verified Dit was zo’n uitzonderlijk mooie plek midden in de bossen van Zweden en aan het water. Alles was perfect inorde! Zalig met de kachel, goed uitgeruste keuken, goeie douche. Wij kunnen alleen maar positief zijn. Wij hebben zelf 2 elanden gespot in de bossen, fantatisch gevoel.

It was very cozy inside and furnished nicely. The facilities were great for cooking etc. The hosts were very providing and informative and made the stay very smooth. The eco-toilet was a little strange, although understandable considering the remote location. The temperature control was a little confusing and was difficult to change temperature, leading to a few chilly mornings where it had dropped the temperature down lower than we would have liked.

Majik Mushing Training Camp More information Hiking Trails Stugun Wake up at Sunshine Stuga on Lake Mörtsjön and you are almost in the forest already. The cottage sits roughly 5 km (3 mi) north-east of Stugun’s main street. Hence, the trail information board by the river bridge and the trailhead at the heritage museum (Hembygdsgården) are only about an eight-minute drive or a fifteen-minute bicycle ride away. Below you will find four way-marked walks. I kept the language simple, yet gave you a fuller picture of what each route feels like on the ground. 1. Stugubergsleden – red marks, 4. 9 km, mediumThis is the “summit” walk. The path leaves the museum, passes the little ski-stadium, and climbs gently through spruce forest to Lilla Stuguberget. Then it pushes up a steeper, rocky slope (about 150 m of total ascent) to Stuguberget itself. At the top, you step onto bare bedrock and get a huge view: the Indalsälven river winding through the valley, fields that look like green quilts, and the dark line of distant hills. The descent on the south side is short but fairly steep; after that, the loop meanders back on soft mossy ground. Allow 1½–2 hours if you stop for photos. 2. Älvleden – blue marks, 9. 8 km, easyThink of this as the “Riverside & meadows” tour. From the bridge, you stroll beside the broad Indalsälven, past an old hydro-power station whose low hum mixes with birdsong. A sandy cove called Fagerstranden invites a paddle on hot days. Further downstream, the track skirts hay meadows at Fredrikslund, where swallows swoop low above the grass. The return leg turns through mixed pine-and-birch woodland, crossing ski-trails and quiet forest lanes before popping out at the museum again. The terrain is mostly flat, so even relaxed walkers finish the circuit in three hours. In winter, the same line is groomed for cross-country skiing when snow depth allows. 3. Vågenleden – green marks, two choices: 3. 4 km or 9 kmThis walk wraps around Lake Vågen, giving you plenty of water views. Short loop (3. 4 km): starts at Kompaniet café. You follow an easy lakeside track through reeds and alder trees, then a short stretch on a quiet lane back to coffee and cinnamon buns. Long loop (9 km): leaves the museum, rises gently towards Stuguberget for sweeping glimpses of water and hills, then swings along the lake shore past hamlets like Framnäs and Skönvik. The surface changes from forest path to gravel road and back again, so trainers are fine. Count on 45 minutes for the short loop or up to 2½ hours for the long. Both options are bike-friendly. naturkartan. se4. Byleden – yellow marks, 6. 5 km, all-season village circuitIf you prefer something level, pick Byleden. It links together back lanes, gravel roads, and well-kept footpaths inside the settlement itself. That means snow is ploughed in winter and the surface stays stroller-friendly. You will pass painted wooden houses, allotment gardens, and an old church, yet still hear the river rushing under the bridge. Locals use the route for Sunday walks, running laps, and evening bike rides. Expect 1–1¼ hours at a gentle pace.

The area is home to a rich variety of wild berries, each with its own unique flavor and season. In the summer and early autumn, you can find juicy blueberries carpeting the forest floors, perfect for snacking or baking into pies. Lingonberries, with their bright red hue and tart taste, are another common find, often used to make jams or served alongside traditional Swedish dishes. Raspberries and cloudberries, though rarer, are prized for their sweet and slightly tangy flavors—cloudberries, in particular, are a golden treasure found in wetter, more boggy areas. When berry picking, look for ripe, vibrant-colored berries and be mindful of the local environment, as some berries, like cloudberries, grow in sensitive habitats. Bring a basket, enjoy the fresh air, and experience the simple pleasure of gathering nature’s gifts in the heart of Jämtland.
