book a hut or treehouse – 2024 – welcome to our paradise!

FAQ / frequently asked questions

pricing and dates 
The prices vary from hut to hut: but generally more for the treehouses and less if you are more than 2 persons/hut Normal/average price for a nature night is 1600,-SEK/p  including all meals, access to sauna, canoes etc.

can I book just 1 night?
No unfortunately not. Urnatur is not a hotel but a place to experience. If you stayed just one night you would need to hurry relaxing. This is not the idea of  a visit at our place. At the moment two nights is a minimum stay. 

about this place in a few words
Stay in a comfortable genuine unique hand-made log cabin or tree houses in natural wonderful setting. Old farm forest, ancient cultural landscape with grazing animals and lake… In the wood hermitage´s huts and tree houses, there is no electricity. However, there is both power outlets and internet access in our community house at the lake where also breakfast is served.

can we choose our favorite hut on the booking site?
Absolutely! On the calendar you first choose arrival date and then departure date. You also choose how many huts you need. If you are four adults for example you can for example choose either one hut for four people or two huts with two in each. After that don´t forget to choose “search” and all huts that are still available will come up with pricing. Here you can also click on the name of the hut and get more information and pictures of the different alternatives before you finally choose hut and continue your booking.

We are a family of five – where can we stay?
You can either choose both the big and little Raven hut  – or – you can book the Glade hut for four persons. This is how it works: You book the glade for 4p(!) and add this extra bed/mattress for the 5th member of the family in your booking. The mattress can be placed on the floor or on a field bed and is only intended for children up to the age of 14 years. Sheets/towels and meals etc. are included – just like for the rest of the family.

How does the nature night concept work?
We provide you with ingredients – you cook over the open fire. Fun for all ages… In the outdoor kitchen we provide you with organic ingredients for a vegetarian dinner including vegetables and herbs from the garden and all ingredients you need to cook a nice vegetarian meal for dinner to be cooked over the open fire. The kitchen is close to the lake, sauna, canoes and swim platform.

do I have to eat vegetarian?
The nature night – concept is vegetarian, but it both works very well to cook vegan – and you can also order  lamb from our farm (fillet, mince, stewing steak). The lamb costs extra and can be paid during the last breakfast before checking out. Our sheep are essential to keep the landscape open and beautiful and maintain a high biodiversity.

can I get a beer or a bottle of wine?
We are fully licensed and are happy to offer you some wine or beer. We also are happy to be able to offer you a little collection of interesting nature wines. Nature wines are  without any additives. All sugar, color, taste and yeast comes from the grapes themselves :) You pay these extras when you check out.

what is included in the outdoor–kitchen ?
Here is everything you need to cook outdoors. There is a small grill, several Muurikka – hobs, pots, frying pan, drinking, glass & cutlery, dry wood, a kerosene-powered refrigerator. You can either make a fire in the kitchen or anywhere where there’s a fire down by the lake. There is also a propane stove and oven. Youdo not need to bring anything! Spices, oil, coffee, dairy products, pasta, lentils, beans … – and in addition the current organic crops from our kitchen garden. Maybe you are lucky and get some perch in the lake or find chanterelles in the woods? Don´t forget to bring your own fishing pole if you have. You will also find a few recipes that work well with the ingredients we provide.

What is there to do?
Ideally, we would like to answer: do as little as possible! Take the opportunity to enjoy the environment and nature. Be mindful in what you do, listening to the birds and the wind, go for a walk in the forest or a trip on the lake with our canoes… Enjoy the unique cultural environments with several km wooden traditional fence, large stone cairns,hay meadows and species-rich pastures where our sheep grace. You have access to the whole area from the forest to the lake. internet Down by the lake you find the tin castle where we serve breakfast. Here we provide electricity, internet and Wifi. This one of our guests called our technical oasis :) Here you also can charge your handy or other technical equipment. Up in the wood hermitage and the sleeping huts there is neither electricity nor internet.

toilets and showers
In the Wood Hermitage and at the tin castle there are several urine separating toilets. Down on the farm, in the same building as the shop, there is also a WC and shower. Up in the woods, there are three showers heated by solar energy. Is there no sun so there’s backup with gas.

how far is it from the car park to the wood hermitage
500m walk on gravel road. You can not drive up to the forest by car, so pack light, preferably in small backpack. but … if needed, we help with the transportation of persons or cargo.
