In the midst of fields and pastures, in a landscape where deep forests and lakes meet the famous west coast sea cliffs…
We are situated on a cozy family farm where you will no doubt see and hear our sheep, chickens and cat. We can arrange for you to help feed our friendly animals and get to know more about them and their special role for biodiversity as heritage breeds. Nearby we have the possibilities for a traditional sauna by the lake, berry picking, walks, cycles, golf, kayaking, pickleball and wild swimming.
We live in a peaceful valley with a quiet road suitable for cycling and walking. we own a large hill covered in mountain oaks which we have put in a biodiversity care programme meaning they can never legally be cut down. Walks in this particular forest are very special and one can often hear a woodpecker and sometimes spot an elk.
There are many other local walking and cycling trails, both through the forests and beside the rolling fields. Additionally we are only a short distance to several lakes. We are a 10 minute cycle to the lake Stora Hällungen (Västra Götalands largest lake) where you can find several child-friendly, sand beaches, grill places, diving boards and jetties. Alternatively you can cycle a little longer and, find many smaller forest lakes. Here you can experience a private swim, surrounded by nothing but forest and the fresh, peaceful atmosphere.
To further explore the woods, we have Svartedalen´s nature reserve and the famous Bohusleden trail a 10 minute drive away which features a whole host of walking trails and truly magnificent nature.

For a change of scenery, we have the famous west coast sea, beaches and islands a mere 15 minute drive away. From here you can visit some of the idyllic fishing island such as Tjörn, Orust, Klädesholmen and Käringön. There are many great sea food restaurants along the coast and on the islands and opportunities to do activities such as sea kayaking.

We are a ten minute drive to Stenungsund where there is a direct train to Gothenburg (45 minutes away) and Uddevalla (30 minutes away). Stenungsund is by the sea and is the gateway to the west coast islands. It has a great playpark, a wide variety of shops and restaurants and a specialist fish boutique selling freshly caught Swedish fish and seafood. Our local village Ucklum has a pizzeria within cycling and walking distance which you can enjoy at a nearby lake beach.
