Unique Living

There’s something special about getting out into nature and staying up among the trees. Here are three unique accommodations where you can sleep above the ground.

Stay in a glass treehouse inside Kosta Safaripark! The houses are built on pillars four meters above the ground, offering a high-up experience. It’s hard to get closer to nature without compromising on comfort. Here, you have the chance to see European bison, majestic red deer, the king of the forest—the moose—curious fallow deer, mouflon sheep with their enormous horns, and mischievous wild boars roaming freely within the large enclosed park.

This treehouse is located in the beautiful forests of Småland and offers a stay that’s out of the ordinary. It’s intimate, simple, and peaceful. As a guest, you’ll sleep high up among the treetops and wake up to birdsong. Through the large windows, you can enjoy forest views as far as the eye can see. It’s the perfect place to fully relax—but for those wanting more activity, it’s also a great base for day trips.

Korpaboet is located 1 km from Kosta Glassworks, in a large leafy garden next to the forest. The treehouse is built around an old oak tree, 6 meters above the ground, where you can feel the calm and serenity beneath the tree’s wide crown. In the morning, you’ll wake to birdsong, and in the evening you can enjoy the sunset from the terrace.

Take a boat or canoe out to your very own island for an overnight stay. It’s a special kind of experience. Do you dare? If so, we’ve got some tips for you right here.

Stay on your very own private island! In the middle of the beautiful lake Örken, you’ll find a tiny island—only a few square meters in size. Here, you’ll stay in the Lusthuset (Little Pavilion). Relax and listen to birdsong and the gentle waves lapping against the rocks. With the included canoe, you can explore nearby coves, and in the morning, you’ll experience nature slowly waking around you.

In the middle of the picturesque lake Stora Hammarsjön, you’ll find a small island with a little cabin. Here, you can unwind, listen to birds singing, and fall asleep to the gentle sound of waves washing against the stones. With the included boat, you can explore nearby inlets, and in the morning, enjoy the peaceful awakening of wildlife and nature.

During the summer, there’s a chance to spend the night in a shelter on the beautiful island national park Blå Jungfrun. With the island’s seclusion and the color of its silhouette, it’s no surprise that Blå Jungfrun has become the legendary Blåkulla of folklore and fairy tales. Advance booking is required, and what makes the experience unique is that you and your group will be the only people on the island overnight—apart from the County Administrative Board’s guides.
