The hostel is absolutely magical! It is so serene and almost feels like the setting of a fairy tale in the woods. The hostel site has a history hundreds of years old and there are stories behind every building and shed. Anna and Anders were also amazing hosts and very kind. I did a variety of tasks around the hostel including gardening, timberwork, and landscaping. The work was enjoyable and you get to learn/see a fair amount of the handiwork that is involved with maintaining and building such a big property as well. Would recommend to anyone who is looking for peace and nature!

My time here has been absolutely wonderful. the hostel is an enchanting place full of motivated and passionate people who work together to make this place even more one of a kind. There is a lot of room here to grow as a person and to have a lot of fun, both while working and on time off. The nature in Sweden is worth exploring :) Anna and Anders are very special people who will make you feel right at home. They are very loving, grateful and open and thats also how they're raising their son to be (I had a lot of fun babysitting). I want to say thank you for this very special month <3

My time at the hostel has been the best experience I could have asked for, so I've decided to stay longer! the hostel is truely something else. It is such a beautiful place, the sunsets after a days work or hike feel like such a blessing and to have so much nature surround is so special. Anna, Anders and Ture are such a beautiful family and really welcoming to everyone.It really feels like we're one big family here. I've done a lot of work with timber and the usual cleaning rooms so they're ready for guests. I can't reccomend this place enough for anyone wishing to escape the big city life.

The hostel is a lovely place and I met so many great people there. These people were what made my stay so memorable. I worked there dringend the high season and we were terribely understaffed, which resulted in a lot of over hours from basically everyone. So work wasn't always fun and in my opinion, the hosts could have communicated and planned certain things better. However the nature, the good food and the incredible weather made up for it.

The hostel is a great hub for meeting and socialising with different nationalities whilst embracing the local Swedish culture. If you enjoy surrounding yourself with nature, serenity and the midnight sun, come to the hostel to experience a taste of Sweden. Remember to bring your mosquito repellent!

I had a great experience in the hostel. It was useful to practice my english, to learn new skills and to learn about swedish culture. The owners and staff were kind and friendly all the time, always asking about us. Just to let you know the place is far away to the town so is difficult to move or visit other places in your days off. However, in the hostel area there is a lot to see in nature. Totally recommended if you like to connect with nature!

It was my first time volunteering and it really was an amazing experience. the hostel is a beautiful place and everyone was super nice and welcoming. The tasks were manageable and I mainly worked in the kitchen (doing dishes, baking and other light tasks) and did some cleaning. I would definitely recommend the experience.

Staying here was the best thing that happened to me coming to Sweden! Anna and Anders are a wonderful family and they treat us with respect and affection. My task was to be in charge of the breakfast and I loved it. We have enough free time to enjoy nature and off course the National Park! I feel lucky to have been there and totally recomend ♥️🫶🏼

Thank you for the nice time I had at the hostel. I can really recommend this place to everyone, who wants to be in contact with other volunteers as well as being surrounded by nature. There isn't much around except nature and it can get hard to get around if you don't have a car (but there are bikes you can use, if you want). You can also spend your freetime with other volunteers or connect with the people from the next village (party ;) ). I often got asked if certain task were okay for me (doing dishes, housekeeping, picking cherries, preparing food, baking etc), which made me feel seen.

If you're looking for a place to take a breath, connect with nature, and experience Swedish culture, the hostel is it! Anders, Anna, and all the staff were kind and devoted to making it a great season. I had no professional kitchen experience, but they worked with me to help me learn. Definitely take advantage of the trails and the national park!
