🏡 The lovingly renovated house is fully equipped for a comfortable stay. With four bedrooms and a total of 12 cozy beds, it’s ideal for larger groups – best suited for 8 adults plus children. Whether you’re planning a weekend getaway or a longer holiday, this is the perfect place to gather family and friends.

In the barn, you’ll also find a ping-pong table and some workout equipment – perfect for a bit of fun or exercise, no matter the weather.

🌲 With nature right outside your door, it’s not uncommon to see deer, hares, foxes, and sometimes even moose wandering across the fields or forest edge.

❤️ Björkbacken is not just a rental house – it’s also our family’s own holiday home. We hope you will enjoy it as much as we do.
