The lodge is a low ceilinged building of timber and consists of two rooms interconnected with the original very low doorway. One is the combined bedroom and sitting area in front of the large fireplace. It is a special pleasure to fall asleep to the crackling fireplace in winter or autumn. The other, the kitchen with dining area of large table and four chairs, overlooking an ancient stove. The kitchen is fitted out with modern features like sink, induction stove, combined microwave/oven, large fridge and dishwasher. The crockery is kept in an antique corner cabinet.

Adjoining you’ll find the bathroom and a wardrobe. Across the small secluded yard outside, there is a Finnish, wood fired sauna for exclusive use of the guests, grill place and outdoor table and chairs, overlooking the fields with thriving ecosystem.

The lodge is a part of larger Stavsmyra estate, with a number of old trees, rhododendron and jasmine bushes. You can park your car for free at few paces’ distance from the lodge and use a couple of free mountain bikes instead to explore the surrounding countryside. The owners, Claudia Burbidge and Vojtek Turyczyn greet you on arrival and show you around.
