Welcome to SwedishCountryLiving®

Our ambition is to offer products and experiences that promote the good life. Living here in the beautiful countryside of Dalsland gives us lots of inspiration we’d like to share with others. Inspiration gathered from the amazing rural environments found in the Swedish countryside. Our sheep on our ecological farm do a great job in keeping the landscape open as w

ell as providing us with meat and wonderful sheepskins. Stay in one of the off-grid hermitage cabins and enjoy good food from the farm. The original Skipper’s cottage rebuilt in 1870 can be rented for a relaxing holiday. Only 100m to the water with both fishing and swimming possibilities and with fantastic surroundings - we think you'll love it. Make life a little more enjoyable - Welcome to the good life!

The zipper on your jacket.
The fridge in your kitchen.
The Bluetooth connection in your headphones.

All have Swedish roots.

Innovation isn’t always about inventing something new. Sometimes it’s about seeing value where others don’t.

That’s the thinking behind our Hermitage cabins in Dalsland, built from old doors and windows, our circular water systems, and our approach to sustainable farming.

A place to step away from the noise, reconnect with nature, and make room for fresh ideas. Why is Sweden ranked as one of the world’s most innovative countries?
Perhaps it’s because we see possibilities where others see obstacles.

What’s your favorite Swedish Innovation?

Why do we mow the grass when we have sheep?

Sheep are surprisingly picky eaters. They won’t eat old, coarse grass. Instead, they know that the freshest grass contains the most nutrients—and it tastes better too. 😋

Sometimes we mow parts of the pasture to encourage new growth, giving the sheep access to the tender grass they love.

Imagine if we instinctively knew which foods were best for us in the same way our sheep do.

Perhaps nature is wiser than we think

Happy National Day, Sweden 🇸🇪

Today, on 6 June, we celebrate Sweden’s National Day – a day to appreciate our history, traditions, freedom, and the landscapes that shape our way of life.

From forests and lakes to villages and cities, it’s a moment to reflect on what brings us together and to enjoy the beauty of the Swedish summer.

Glad Nationaldag! 🇸🇪 🇸🇪

Hur värdesätter man en upplevelse?

Vad får man för pengarna? Kan man sätta ett pris på en vacker miljö?
I Sverige idag är vi vana vid att kunna röra oss fritt i naturen. Men den öppna miljön från vår barndom försvinner mer och mer.
Att bevara våra hagmarker och kulturmarker kräver tid, jobb, pengar och betesdjur.

Känslan av att bo nära naturen är obetalbar Vi njuter varje dag av den fantastiska miljön vi har skapat här.

Målsättningen med Swedish Country Living är inte att maximera vinst men att dela med oss av den känsla och kärlek till miljön runt omkring oss.
Efter fem år av renovering är markerna nu återskapade till hur de en gång var. Öppna marker gynnar ovanligt flora som är utrotningshotade. Den biologiska mångfalden ger förutsättningar för insekter, fåglar och vilt att finnas.

Hur kan man uppleva denna lyx på bästa sätt?
Tänk att bo i en arkitektritad stuga byggd med naturliga material, sova i nymanglade lakan och vakna till ljudet av hackspetten. Mitt i denna otroligt vackra miljön.
Promenera bland de gamla ekarna och se ekorren hoppa bland grenar.
Njut av vattnets lugnande kluckande medan havsörnen flyger över himlen.
Titta på lammen som skuttar över ängen.

Att ha tid för varandra i den stressiga världen vi lever i idag. Det är lyx det.

Vi vet att det vi erbjuder inte passar alla.
Men många av våra gäster har njutit av att vara här och vi har fått strålande recensioner som du kan läsa på Google.

Det viktigaste just nu är att vi spendera mer tid i naturen. Det ger kraft i oroliga tider.

Have you heard of the Pyramid trellis?

The pyramid shape (obelisk) arrived via the Baroque garden movement in France during the 17th and 18th centuries.

Swedes perfected the art of painting these structures with Falu Rödfärg (red) or linseed oil paint to withstand the harsh freeze-thaw cycles.

By leaning wooden poles together in a cone or pyramid shape, they maximized small garden plots for peas and beans. Thus becoming a Bean Pyramid!

The older you get, the more you realise life is not endless.
You can keep things as they are — or you can choose to create something meaningful. Something that leaves the world a little better than you found it.
Sharing our Hermitage cabins is our way of sharing a dream about what life could be about.
More time for each other.
More time in nature.
Food grown close to where it is served.
A slower rhythm.
A deeper understanding of how everything in nature is connected.
Perhaps luxury is not about having more — but about feeling more.
Come and join us on the journey.
