Attentive stay

Here you may be alone, but you never have to stand alone.

Everyone is welcome at Norra Vilan. Yet we are not just any place. Norra Vilan was built with one thought in mind: welcoming guests who are looking for somewhere small-scale. A place to step away from all the bustle and your everyday life for a while, personal, quiet and deliberately small-scale.

Who we are

Rens is a former police officer. Through that background, including his work in the Collegial Support Team, where he supported colleagues after difficult events, he knows how important attention to mental health is. Jesca comes from healthcare. With that shared outlook, we built Norra Vilan together: a personal place, where we welcome you with attention, respect and without judgement.

Rens & Jesca

Balance in everything

Movement, sport, food, rest and nature: only together do they make it complete. That is why you will find both quiet and a gym here, both the forest and a good breakfast. Everyone in their own way, at their own pace.

Movement

Walking, cycling, kayaking: the surroundings invite you to be outdoors.

Sport

Our own small gym and, if you like, training at your level.

Food

A fresh breakfast to begin the day calmly and well.

Rest

No programme if you do not want one. You set the rhythm.

Nature

Forests, lakes and quiet, all around you.

Who it's for

·Anyone consciously looking for calm, space and time outdoors.
·People going through a specific moment in life and wanting to step away from it for a while.
·Anyone who simply wants an outdoor adventure: to head into the forest together, train, or push themselves a bit. No particular reason needed.
·Those who want to come for a small programme or for nothing at all.
·First responders, healthcare workers and others who carry weight from their work and need a softer place to land.
·People going through a particular life event, such as a loss, a divorce or a similar situation.

What we offer

A quiet stay

A comfortable apartment or a peaceful camping pitch in the Swedish forest. You set the rhythm of your days.

Activities: alone or together

Hike, kayak, cycle or simply walk in the woods. On your own, or together with Rens if you'd like the company.

Outdoor adventure with extra attention

Want to head into the forest together, train, or take on a longer hike or kayak trip? We'll plan it together, at your level, with attention for what you're looking for.

Room for a conversation

If it helps to talk, about anything, big or small, there's space for that too. No pressure, no agenda.

Tailored to you

A few days or a longer stay. We discuss together what you're looking for and what would suit you best.
