Do you feel the need to relax and find peace again? Then you’ve come to the right place.
Do you feel the need to relax and find peace again? Then you’ve come to the right place.
This is the timeframe that the research study “72 hour cabin” is based on, which showed clear health benefits where participants experienced both relaxation and a significant decrease in heart rate. The 72-hour package also includes dinner served at the glasshouse, as well as access to a kayak/SUP to relax on the lake.
You check in at the farm and leave your daily life and stress behind. Enjoy a cup of coffee or tea and one of the bakery’s buns, then take the short drive to the glasshouse. The “Skogen” glasshouse is located right in the forest, surrounded by pines, while “Sjöblicken” is situated on a hill by the lake, just 150 meters from the beach. Our newest addition, “Sjön” is placed right at the lake’s edge. The glasshouses at Erikson Cottage are designed by architect Jeanna Berger, who also designed the original glasshouses for the “The 72 Hour Cabin” project in Dalsland.
Next to the glasshouses, there’s an outhouse (with a skylight!) and an outdoor kitchen in the same design.
In the glasshouse, you sleep comfortably in a large double bed with down comforters. If it gets chilly, there’s a gas heater for extra warmth. How you choose to spend your days is entirely up to you; one option is to sit in the doorway with a fantastic view and read a book. If you prefer more activity, this package includes free access to kayaks and SUPs.
If you’d like to enjoy a hot tub in the evening, this can be added; for more activities, see here.

BOENDE
Which Glasshouse suits you?
Glasshouse Skogen
Here, you’ll stay nestled within the forest’s greenery. Surrounded by a mixed forest of pine and spruce, and with a secluded setting, you’ll live here “in the middle of the forest.” If you’re very quiet and attentive, there are good chances to get really close to animals and nature.
Research Shows: 72 Hours in a Glasshouse Can Lead to a 70% Reduction in Stress
Research Shows: 72 Hours in a Glasshouse Can Lead to a 70% Reduction in Stress
Our glasshouses offer not just a unique accommodation experience in the midst of nature; they are your gateway to deep relaxation and rejuvenation. In September 2017, Sweden collaborated with leading researchers in the field of stress to study the health effects of living in the Swedish nature. According to research by VisitSweden, a short stay of just 72 hours in an environment like our glasshouses can lead to a reduction in stress by up to 70%. Feel free to watch the research film below and see how embracing a nature-close lifestyle can change your well-being.
