About this property

Freyja Summer Forest Retreat | Lakeside Views & Outdoor Tub (Near Gothenburg)

Congratulations! You've just discovered Freyja – A Forest Home, possibly the most luxurious tiny house retreat in all of Scandinavia! 🌲✨

At Freyja, we believe a home is more than a place to stay — it’s a sanctuary. Inspired by the Norse goddess of love, beauty, and nature, this airy forest hideaway was created in her spirit: where natural beauty meets quiet luxury, and you’re invited to unwind, breathe deeply, and reconnect with yourself and the world around you.

Outdoor Living & Riverside Moments

Step onto your private deck and let summer unfold. Sip morning coffee in the sun, enjoy golden hour drinks, or share long meals surrounded by birdsong. Fire up the grill, lay out a forest picnic, or watch the sky turn pink by the river. Every moment outdoors becomes a memory.

Breathe in fresh air and enjoy long, sunny days at Freyja with our favourite simple pleasures:

✔️ Wood-fired sauna sessions followed by refreshing river dips to awaken your senses.
✔️ Hot tub moments under star-filled skies, wrapped in quiet wonder.
✔️ Forest trails to wander and collect simple, beautiful moments.
✔️ Riverside picnics with slow afternoons and nature’s gentle soundtrack.
✔️ Outdoor grills to create delicious, smoky meals by the fire.
✔️ Hammocks swaying gently as you lose time in pages and daydreams.
✔️ Sunrise coffees and sunset drinks to greet and close perfect days.
✔️ Yoga on the open deck to stretch, breathe, and find your calm.

☀️ Sunlit Living Spaces for Slow Summer Days

Step inside to a beautifully designed open-plan living area, bathed in natural light and opening out to the forest beyond. Sink into the custom-built couch with a book or a cool drink in hand, letting the breeze flow through the open French doors. After a morning hike or a refreshing dip in the river, this is the perfect spot to relax, recharge, and simply enjoy the calm rhythm of nature all around you.

🌙 Sleep Beneath the Summer Sky

Drift off in a hammock gently swaying between the trees — your private nook under open skies. Whether it’s a midday nap in the dappled sunlight or falling asleep to the sounds of the forest, summer nights at Freyja invite you to rest in rhythm with nature. Let the breeze and birdsong carry you into deep, peaceful sleep.

🚿 Refreshing Showers with a Natural Touch

Step into a serene space designed to cool and calm. Our bathroom blends natural wood finishes with a spacious rain shower for a spa-like escape — and when the sun is out, take your ritual outside. Our refreshing outdoor shower lets you rinse off after a river dip or forest hike, surrounded by birdsong and sunshine. It's simple luxury, grounded in nature.

🍽️ A Kitchen for Fresh Summer Feasts & Connection

Our bright and open kitchen invites you to cook with the forest in full bloom just outside your window. Whether you’re chopping seasonal fruits for a riverside picnic, sipping wine at sunset after a forest stroll — every moment here feels elevated. With high-quality appliances and thoughtful design, every moment here feels special and connected to the natural world.

Here’s What’s Yours to Enjoy:

✔️ Your own private forest home, with full access to the house and everything inside
✔️ A sunny patio, perfect for morning coffee or slow outdoor meals
✔️ A peaceful riverside spot complete with a barbecue and fireplace — ideal for alfresco dining or golden hour moments around the flames
✔️ A nearby spiritual center that occasionally hosts retreats, if you're looking to explore deeper calm
✔️ Two beautiful saunas available to pre-book at an additional cost for a truly rejuvenating experience
✔️ Access to the nearby river, shared gently with the property owner
✔️ The freedom to enjoy your stay privately, with no obligation to interact unless you wish to

Explore the Beauty of the Surrounding Area

At Freyja, you’re surrounded by nature and close to charming waterfalls, vibrant towns, and memorable local experiences.

Here are some local attractions and day trips that will make your stay even more unforgettable:

🌊 Ramhultafallet Waterfall

A quick drive takes you to this lush hidden gem — the perfect spot for a shaded picnic or a cool forest walk alongside cascading water.

🛍️ Kinna (10 km away)
Stroll charming streets, discover local boutiques like Sätila of Sweden for high-quality artisan knitwear, and explore nearby nature reserves and lakes for outdoor adventures. Great for a relaxing day trip surrounded by nature.

🎨 Borås (25 km away)
A vibrant town known for its thriving art scene, rich history and dynamic culture. Borås boasts a variety of cafes and restaurants, perfect for enjoying local Swedish delicacies.

🌇 Gothenburg (1 hour drive)
Only an hour’s drive from Freyja, Gothenburg offers exciting attractions such as Liseberg Amusement Park, Universeum, and the historic Haga District. With vibrant city life and fresh seafood restaurants, Gothenburg is the ideal day trip for those seeking a mix of culture and adventure.

The perfect Summer Escape: Nature, Stillness & a Touch of Adventure

While Freyja offers a secluded escape, Gothenburg and its vibrant city life are just a short drive away. But here, you can swap crowds for sacred waterfalls , morning commutes for barefoot walks, and noisy nights for sauna sessions. Cool off with a dip in the nearby river, book a private yoga session, or explore hidden trails to soak in the peaceful surroundings.

Freyja symbolizes the nurturing energy of the forest, a haven where simplicity and elegance embrace, offering a blend of mindful living and Scandinavian charm.

This tiny home invites you to step away from the noise and into a world where nature and luxury live harmoniously. We designed Freyja to be a space for slowing down, sharing moments, and embracing the magic of the forest around you.

Ready to Experience Freyja?
Book your stay and join us in this special retreat. Freyja isn’t just a house; it’s an invitation to reconnect—with yourself, with loved ones, and with the beauty of the world around you.

About the host

Hosted by Cayo Fiebig

Host profile image
At HAVN, we believe in the power of stillness, simplicity, and nature. We’re a small team based in the Nordics, passionate about creating beautiful off-grid stays where people can slow down and reconnect — with themselves, with loved ones, and with the natural world.

Our first cabin, Freyja, is inspired by the Norse goddess of love and beauty. It blends quiet luxury with wild forest charm, designed for those seeking rest, reflection, and presence.

We love hosting because we know how healing it can be to step away from the noise of everyday life and find space to breathe. It’s a joy to share this calm corner of the world with guests — to help create moments that feel meaningful, memorable, and deeply human.

We’re so grateful to offer you this little pause — and we hope your time at HAVN feels like coming home.

Why they chose this property

We chose this area because it feels like nature is speaking in every direction — soft riverside sounds, whispering trees, and golden light through the pines. Tucked between the forest and a flowing river, it offered the perfect blend of seclusion and accessibility: just one hour from Gothenburg, yet it feels like a world away.

What we love most is how this place invites you to slow down. Morning dips in the river, barefoot walks on mossy trails, hammocks under the trees — everything here is grounded in calm and simplicity. It’s a space where you can breathe more deeply, listen more closely, and feel more connected — to yourself, to each other, and to the earth.

This land holds a quiet kind of magic, and we feel lucky every day to share it.

What makes this property unique

What makes our property unique is the way it weaves together eco-conscious luxury with untouched Nordic nature. Freyja is not your typical cabin — it’s a thoughtfully crafted retreat where every detail invites you to slow down and enjoy life’s simplest pleasures, in the most beautiful setting.

Where else can you wake up in a designer-built cabin, sip your coffee on a private forest deck, soak in a wood-fired hot tub under the stars, and rinse off in an outdoor shower after a river swim — all in the same day?

From handcrafted interiors and soft linens to our forest-bathed sauna, hammock hideaways, and curated outdoor dining experiences, every moment at Freyja is designed to feel both refined and rooted. It’s this harmony of comfort and wilderness that makes Freyja not just a place to stay, but a place to feel.

Whether you're reconnecting with a loved one, yourself, or the world around you — Freyja holds space for all of it.
