The property is the village's old school and now rebuilding into a cosy and inspiring accommodation. Råstrand is located by the beautiful Vindelälven river. The school is versatile with its three floors and the around 600m2. We can have approximately 50 seated diners in the dining room, and the large kitchen has all the equipment you need. We have a basic gym for the active and a sauna that can be rented for an additional fee. We also provide a washing machine for a fee.

The space
The old school is surrounded by wild nature in a small village at the beginning of the Arctic region from Sweden. It is located near the Vindelälven, a very famous place for fishing, wild and full of life. The old school has three floors and is easy to reach from the E45; if you are going north or driving south and like to rest in relaxing nature, then this is the place to visit and experience. Inside the building you will discover history and a fresh wind from the forest. In the next village (about 11 kilometers away) you will find a grocery store and if you like to be outdoors we have a lot to discover. Endless opportunities to walk, cycle, swim in fresh clean water, fish, make fires, even sleep as long as you want, discover magical new places, collect wild berries | mushrooms | herbs | .., or just relax and let go. Whatever your inner longing is, we can help you get it here.

Guest access
The school consists of 3 floors where most of the spaces are open for you to use. We have a laundry room where you can rent the washing machine for 50 SEK and a simple gym in the basement that is free to use. If you feel like a sauna, you can rent our electric sauna. The spaces that are closed to you as a guest are a carpentry shop on the 2nd floor which is locked mostly for liability issues and safety for our guests. On the 3rd floor in the large old gymnasium we store a large amount of beds and furnishings for upcoming renovations so it is also a private space at the moment.

Other things to note
Please note that bed linen and towels are not included in the low fee and you will need to bring your own or rent them from us (100 SEK per person).
The school is a rustic place and we have just started renovating, so many things look as they used to. If you are interested in history, this is the perfect place for you to visit. The school is a place of peace and warmth.
