Stay with us in Winter
In the winter, when the light of the sun is scarce and the snowy weather covers the landscape with silence, we invite you to our place and feel the warmth amidst the cold.
We believe that staying with us during the winter brings a truly invigorating experience in a small-scale and sustainable way, far away from the spectacular and the crowded. We invite you to choose your own path and relax and recharge in our energy, our rhythm.
The desire for a home during holidays
Imagine that, after the rush of traveling, you arrive in our small, snow-covered village and feel the cold on your face when you get out of your car. The hotel is invitingly lit and making your way to the entrance you only hear the snow under your feet. The coming few days are going to be special, you can feel it. Experiencing a winter in Sweden - or Scandinavia - is unique and magical. Especially in the countryside, where the silence is even more felt.
Here, you will be taken care and guided into a state of pure calmness.
“The bright light of the sun forces you to close your eyes but you enjoy it. It isn’t the only thing that is warming your face. The ticking of the sauna stove is the only sound coming through. For the rest, all is quiet. All your thoughts are silent. You’re in total peace.”
In the winter, we open our doors for 2-nights stays for a number of weekends in January and February, from Friday to Sunday (and a few extra days in February, please check availability in our booking system). Your stay always includes breakfast and dinner.
You are warmly welcomed here from 16:00. If you like, you can already snuggle next to the fire in our lounge room or take a short stroll in the village. Dinner is served at 18:00. If you have booked the spa, we will guide you in at 20:00 for a great winter sauna experience!
Our "sweet spot" stay
Venturing out into the winter
During the day, you can enjoy the surrounding on cross-country skis. We rent out gear, so you can get started right away. Don't worry if you haven't done cross-country skiing before, you will enjoy it in no time. There are around 10 different tracks that start just 500m from the hotel for all experience levels.
Of course you can also enjoy the snow in the village, which is covered in a layer of magic. Combine short walks with snuggling in one of our cosy living rooms with the book you brought with you for a great me-time.
Kungsberget is a great downhill ski-resort just 30 minutes driving from our place. For those who want to combine good skiing with a great stay and truly nourishing meals.
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, Marieke and Robin came to the little village of Åmot, in the Swedish countryside to live a more conscious and slower life. We pour all our energy and values in our little place for our guests to experience, both through our hospitality and our kitchen.
When the winter is in our village, we make sure that we guide our guests in a comfortable and safe winter experience. Little tips up front, extra cosiness inside and some help with enjoying the snow outside. We are really proud of our close and personal approach that ensures that your winter stay is worth remembering!
In winter, we want to inspire people to slow down and allow the body and mind a break. That is what winter is for, reflection and rest. Of course this does not mean that you should sit down inside the whole day!
The landscape is invigorating and you should definitely try some skiing on the local cross-country trails! Or at least enjoy a wintery stroll in the village to take in the silence and calmness of the winter here.
