At Farmotel Backsjön, the Nordic House sits a short walk from the water and offers an intentionally pared‑down stay: three themed rooms (Bear, Wolf and Northern Light) set against forest and lake, programmed as part of activity‑linked retreats designed to help guests leave daily life behind and settle into nature.

THE ROOMS

Three themed rooms in a renovated Nordic House

The Bear and Wolf rooms are part of a fully renovated Nordic House close to the farm, designed to support a nature‑focused stay. The Northern Light room offers an off‑grid experience with large windows and no electric or internet for a deeper immersion in the forest.

THE EXPERIENCE

Programmed retreats and activities

Rooms at the Nordic House are available only in combination with on‑farm activities or retreat programs, allowing a tailored schedule intended to help guests relax, set personal goals and reconnect with nature.

THE RHYTHM

Simple daily flow to center your stay

The operator emphasizes living in the moment: guests are encouraged to set intentions for their stay and to remain open to the varied nature experiences offered each day.
