Stay with us in Summer
We believe in slow travel, in getting close to nature, in inspiring conversations and in real, pure food. And for those things, we go all-in. Welcome to our place in summer, in our home and our garden. We take care of you, we inspire you and we get inspired by you.
We create an experience that submerges you in our world of calm and warmth, you are a real guest here, whom we nourish and give the comforts that you need for an invigorating vacation. We do all we can to allow you to truly relax and recharge in a sustainable way.
The desire for a home during holidays
You appreciate it to arrive at a place where you feel truly welcomed and guided. This is an important thing for us as well. When you stay with us, you will remember your stay with heart-warming feelings.
You find it hard to find an accommodation where the hosts do not make compromises concerning the food, its origin and its quality. We apply the same values about what food comes in our kitchen for you as we do for ourselves.
You also love the feeling of having decided on the right activities, rather than doubting you chose the right thing to do that day. We personally help you making sure to choose activities that match you and your expectations based on our personal experiences, not on a huge selection of brochures in the reception! We help you find enrichment in the simple and pure.
You are canoeing on a tranquil river in the woods, with only the sound of the water accompanying you. Nature’s surrounding you completely. There is nothing that interferes with you and the calmness of the moment…
You take an evening stroll trough the village in a magnificent sunset after an inspiring dinner. The warmth of the sun, the screeching of swallows overhead, sheep in the distance. The genuine contentment about the fact that it has been a great day…
You can choose to stay here for 2 or 3 nights, although we whole-heartly recommend a 3-night stay for the complete Stilleben-experience, which is a lot about taking time for yourself and to submerge in our rhythm.
Your stay with us always includes one of our fine rooms and home-made breakfast and dinner each day. We serve dinner always at 18:00 and breakfast is served at 8:30. These fixed times create a home-like feeling. They also allow Marieke to create freshly prepared dishes, made with love and passion and serve them with the stories behind them.
Our "sweet spot" stay
To even further enhance your stay, we offer a small but carefully chosen selection of activities. You can pick the ones which suits you best to relax and recharge!

Spring
Spring (that's how we see the month of June) is full of lush green, flowers and warmth! This is a truly energy-giving time! Long, warm and sunny days and colour everywhere! Perfect for hiking, sun and enjoying nature! The height of this season is when you come around midsummer and celebrate with us in the village!

Summer
Summer is the time of worry-less holiday, fika's in summer café's and plunges in local lakes! Warm evenings with yellow sunsets and enjoying the shade of the trees during the warm days! And don't forget about the berries everywhere (from August onwards)!

Autumn
Autumn here (final weeks of August, onwards to end of September) has a special place in our hearts. This is a season of magic and atmosphere which you will remember and want to come back to. The colours, the air, the smells, the cosiness of coming back inside. Exploring the forests, wet mosses on the tree barks and the ground, mushrooms everywhere and seeing how the colours of leaves light up the surroundings…
Our winter stays are a little different.

What people are saying of our place
The hosts were welcoming, incredibly kind and ensured that the experience was as relaxing and pleasant as humanly possible. If you are in the area, or are just looking to get away for a while, I cannot recommend this hotel enough.

Stilleben is a very nice place to be. We regret that we had only 2 days at this beautiful location. Marieke and Robin are the perfect hosts, we met on our trip.

Meet your hosts
We are Marieke and Robin and we created Stilleben into a place where we welcome you as guests, based on our values and beliefs. Those beliefs are about how you should feel on holidays and what you should get out of them. But we also believe in the power of real food, with real ingredients that are produced in a good way. Food that nourishes and empowers you.
- Robin
"We believe that a large part of a memorable holiday has to do with meeting people and taking the time to take in an environment. When we make time to get to know our guests, making sure they have the best time here, as true hosts, something great happens. When they leave, they leave as friends. The energy we create together as people, is truly heart-warming."
- Marieke
“Real food is the only way for me. Pure, packed with all the good stuff, that is what I’m always looking for. Local and as pure as possible, finding out who & how those pure ingredients were created. I make my own marmalades, pickles, ferment our vegetables, make my own meatstocks… These habits and their benefits have been forgotten mostly. We try to show people how important and easy they are to pick up again.”
We believe there is a good reason for everybody to stay here for a few nights, whether during your holidays in Sweden, or just to give yourself the well-earned rest in these hasty and fast-paced times.
Stilleben is a place to visit when you are in need of really slowing down for a while. It is also a place when you want a genuine and warming place to stay for a holiday in nature.
We believe in slow travel - slow living in general, actually. We also believe in true hospitality and the power of sharing stories, ideas and values.
