Arctic retreat with sled dogs and northern lights

Welcome to Arctic Hearts

Immerse yourself in the tranquillity of the Nordic forests, enjoy magical hours under the Northern Lights and spend time with Nordic sled dogs.

Unique retreat experiences and moments await you on our farm, nestled in untouched nature and surrounded by the tranquil expanse of the Nordic wilderness. With huskies, Icelandic horses and a pinch of Nordic magic, we offer you unforgettable moments of peace and relaxation.

Our retreat experiences combine guided meditation, forest walks, yoga, creative time as well as animal therapy sessions and psychological counseling to awaken new strength and mental power in you. As a psychologist, I will help you to let go, recharge your batteries and gain clarity. Our secluded vacation home is the perfect retreat to calm down and rediscover yourself - and you might even see the Northern Lights dancing in the sky.

The intensive support in the form of 1:1 or 1:2 retreat experiences are specially designed for people who are looking for a deep and personal time-out or want to work on a specific topic. With individual programs, we offer you a unique opportunity for relaxation and self-discovery. All our offers are also aimed at couples or families.

We look forward to seeing you!

Welcome to the Arctic Hearts vacation home.

Our vacation home is located on our lovingly run farm in northern Sweden. In the middle of the Swedish forest in a secluded location, where Icelandic horses and Nordic sled dogs welcome you warmly.

Enjoy direct access to the beach of our adjacent lake, which is pleasantly warm in summer thanks to its shallow entrance. Stroll along our extensive forest paths, pick berries and discover the impressive nature of northern Scandinavia.

There are plenty of places to sit and relax on our farm. Our little adventurers and our four-legged friends will also find space outside for fun and games.

The house has 60 square meters which are divided into two rooms, kitchen and bathroom. The bedroom has a double bed and a bunk bed, guaranteeing a beautiful view. In the cozy living room there is a spacious couch. The kitchen includes a kitchenette with fridge-freezer and a two-burner stove with a small oven.

Towels and bed linen as well as additional cribs are of course included. We do not charge extra for dogs!

Sustainability is important to us. That's why we provide you with high-quality, biodegradable shampoo, shower gel, soap and environmentally friendly cleaning products during your stay. So you can enjoy the beauty of Lapland and protect nature at the same time.
