ACCOMMODATIONS
TORPET is one of the oldest VÄSTERBOTTEN cottages in the village. It has been completely renovated and you can rent it, either totally or partly according to the number of people.
THE UPPER FLAT has 2 big bedrooms with six beds and a hall with 4 beds for babies or children.
THE LOWER FLAT includes a lounge with a fireplace, a room with a pedal organ, two beds and a kitchen. There you can use the electric stove or feed the other with wood. You can even use both. The newly-built garage is at your disposal.
Out in the forest, next to the house, you have pleasant FOOT PATHS and an electricity-lighted nordic ski-track.

200 meters away from Torpet stands the MAIN BUILDING and BAGARSTUGAN (another little cottage) with a play area outside and play room inside for the chilren.

Approximately 150 meters south west of the main building is the LAPLANDERS'S HUT and the YOUTH HOSTEL, with the tree sleeping-cottages.

In RUNDLOGEN, a former barn 75 meters east of the main building, you can have beds at the upper loft floor, that are available during the summer season. On the ground floor, you can use the physical training equipment.

From the GRILL PLACE, among the trees, the scenery is nice.
In the stable, we have calves of all ages which grace outside in the summer. We also have some super nice dogs and cats.

A SUITABLE ENVIRONMENT FOR ALLERGIC PEOPLE
Since we have allergic people in our family, all pets are kept outside.
The smokers in our family gather outside, which the guests are also expected to do.
