“In all my travels the two things
my eyes scout for are trees and water”
A hike through the Treehouse
Like in a book, I made my dream come true. A hand-built tree house at four and a half meters high. You immediately feel at home, surrounded by trees. The great thing is that you can now experience that too, because we like to share our work of art. Sleeping at height releases a special dimension, similar to the birds and squirrels. It should be back to basics, then you experience more intensely. Nature is all around you and you don’t need anything else. The tree house is hidden in the forests of Swedish Värmland. The cozy cottage has a bunk bed with fresh linen and a table and two chairs for writing, reading a book or daydreaming.
On the ground floor there is a clean compost toilet and a shower/washing facility on solar heat, but the real tough guys will of course lie in the stream. There is also an outdoor kitchen, equipped for two people. One of the best activities is cooking outside and everything tastes so much better in the open air.
From the tree house you step straight into the wilderness. There is so much to see in flora and fauna and the lake of StorEn sparkles at you, crystal clear. Walking, cycling, canoeing, or rather lying down, listening and reading. You can fully immerse yourself in the Swedish natural beauty and fully recharge. Spotting wildlife in the large StorEn nature reserve is a favorite here. Fill your backpack and hit the road, it will do you good. The treehouse will wait for you and receive you for the night, a night to remember.
“The Treehouse will embrace and nurture you,
leave when you are healed“
A hike around the Treehouse
The Swedes have many nice habbits, two of which are very nice.
Fika is one of them. Fika is a kind of short coffee/tea break with something delicious on the side, actually 7 different tasty baked goods, a few times a day. Can you already see yourself sitting in the treehouse? A nice cup of coffee and all kinds of goodies in good company and you only hear the rustling of the trees.
Lagom is the second.
More of a way of life really. The Swedes are not fooled, they take a step back to examine things with different eyes and take enough time for relaxation, for example sleeping in a treehouse.
The surroundings of the TreeHouse are perfect for a hiking. During the tours you will be amazed, because the nature here is truly beautiful. You walk through the varied landscape around the lake “StorEn” and inhale the pure, healthy air. Rocks, the flowing streams, narrow valleys, plateaus with a panoramic view of the area and endless lakes: you will come across it all.
From the TreeHouse you enter in the middle of the nature of “StorEn”. How you discover that is entirely up to you! A cycling or hiking trip can just be on your activity list, but you can also hop in a canoe to discover how beautiful this part of Sweden can be.
So bring hiking shoes and hike through this beautiful nature. Experience the wildlife of this region in beautiful Sweden. Maybe an encounter with the moose, wolf, bear, fox, lynx and or beaver. And after this hiking adventure you can relax again in the TreeHouse Maybe an idea to finally read that one book! Or do nothing, let your feet cool off in the stream in front of the TreeHouse.

And came out taller then the trees”

Reactions on the Treehouse
Finaly read that one book!
The place is magical, the tree became my brother and the owners are very nice people and know all the secret places to visit in the forest around the tree house. I quite enjoyed the serenity and sheer calm in the area. I have come to relax which I really needed for a while. And what I finally had time for was reading that one book… Wonderful.

Now I have to go back and realize that going back to busyness is more difficult than going to silence. The simplicity in this tree house made me realize that I don’t really need that much. I will definitely come back to enjoy this beautiful place again.

Truly awsome
I should have been at a hotel nearby for a job in the area. But found this and am glad I didn’t stay in a hotel. It may be spartan but the romance makes up for a lot. I will definitely come back but as a tourist because the area is really unbelievably beautiful. I can say that I have never been so relaxed on a job as I am now. Marco thank you for your kindness and hospitality. a warm greeting

Nu moet ik weer terug en realiseer me dat terug naar drukte moeillijker is dan naar de stilte gaan. De eenvoud in deze boomhut heeft me doe realiseren dat ik eigenlijk niet zoveel nodig heb. Ik kom zeker terug om nogmaals te genieten van deze prachtige plek.
