Take it easy at this unique and tranquil Soldattorp. With origins from the 19th century, carefully renovated into a cozy accommodation, you can walk out the door and enjoy the quiet. The Småland forest invites you to enjoy pleasant walks or bike rides. The cottage is surrounded by lakes with the possibility of fishing. In the cottage, there is also a café with a farm shop on weekends.
Close to Alvesta, Växjö, Ljungby, Älmhult and the glass kingdom. Good transport by train and car.

The space
Soldattorpet has been carefully and sustainably renovated from the ground up. The paint we used is egg oil tempera with eggs from our own chickens. We have insulated with wood fiber insulation and the windows are painted with linseed oil paint. All equipment is second-hand and some of the wood we used comes from our own forest

Guest access
Fantastic forest roads exist and there are plenty of mushrooms and berries in the forest.
Proximity to Växjö, Ljungby and Älmhult with, among other things, the Ikea Museum.

During your stay
As a guest, you choose if you want us to tell you what to do in our vicinity. If you want to be on your own, that's fine too

Other things to note
There is a shop in Vislanda, we offer food in our own restaurant, book before arrival. We also have full rights. In Ljungby and Växjö, there is everything you need and a little more

Where you’ll be

Alvesta, Kronobergs län, Sweden

We live in the forest but still centrally, close to communications but still individually. The silence is palpable and the stars are wonderful to scrutinize when darkness has fallen. It's so peaceful to be here.
