Bönabo Norrgård

Welcome to Bönabo Norrgård, the Swedish countryside at its best.

Live off-grid in our unique cottage Nöjders Ro, surrounded by water and forest. Meet our different animals or visit our farm shop.

Live completely undisturbed in a forest clearing, directly connected to water. The cabin allows you as a guest to come to a place as close to nature as you can get. The silence is total and we dare to promise an experience out of the ordinary!

The cabin is unique in many ways. Partly because of how it is located, but at the same time because of how it is built. Almost all the wood comes from our own forest, refined by Lars with the help of a small local sawmill. The idea itself was to make use of as much as possible, which resulted in all the parts that become from a sawn log actually sitting on the cabin. The backs (the rounded part) are on the roof, and the boards sit as wall cladding. The gutters are also made from the same wood and the attachment by a local blacksmith.

Inside, the cabin is furnished in a state-of-the-art fashion, with the small detail that electricity and water are actually missing. They have solved this by using water canisters with a foot pump and an incineration toilet. You can therefore shower, go to the toilet and wash dishes - but this means that you need to heat your own water for the shower or for the washing up water. There is also very poor phone coverage at the cabin, and the location was chosen partly because of that. Here it is believed that all people feel better by being here and now, and a little less dependent on phones and wifi, and here there is no alternative!

When you live in Bönabo, there are plenty of ways to maximize your stay with experiences. Maybe you want to pick your own breakfast eggs? Participate in farming with a horse? Maybe you just want to pet our sheep or listen to the peaceful sound of a cow ruminating? The possibilities are many, and if you'd rather head out into the woods with a coffee basket, the host couple will sort it out.
