THE SPACE

Vilan is part of our Romantic Nature Resort, where guests are invited to relax more into pleasure, deepen their relationship & create magical moments.

The 18th century building has 90m2 and runs over 2 stories. Vilan is an open living space with no doors, apart from the toilet and bathroom, which are both on the ground floor. Enjoy some of the modern spa- facilities like the jacuzzi, an electric massage chair, an indoor steam sauna & a shower. Downstairs you will also find cosy bedroom with a fire place.

Upstairs you have a panoramic view from the living room overlooking the breathtaking garden & lake. You will find a piano & other music instruments as well as a sound system that you can turn up as loud as you wish. We also have a range of board games available for you.

On the top floor you also have an extra bedroom option that you can light up with fairy lights & stars while browsing through our hand picked library for lovers. In our nature inspired kitchen you will find everything you need to make a delicious meal for someone special.

You have fast WiFi available throughout your stay, which is absolutely sufficient and reliable for online conferences.

You have shared access to our beautiful and spacious garden that runs along the waterfront. From our dock you can jump or climb into the lake (even in the winter), which we highly recommend after having been in our wood-fired outdoor sauna, which heats up to 90°. You get to reserve the sauna for 3h slots so you have full privacy while using it. Have you ever done ice bathing? It's a unique experience that you don't want to miss during the winter months. We are happy to give you our best tips and tricks to get the most out of an ice bath.

During the warmer seasons you are welcome to hire our wooden rowing boat, 2 x SUPs, one kayak or our popular raft to explore the lake & the nearby islands. We also have 2 bikes for rent which are perfect for cycling along our forrest roads.

Another highlight in our resort is our newly created heart shaped labyrinth, which is perfect for private love ceremonies or sacred union rituals. (Check out our offers) As well as our star-shaped viewing platform, which is great for wildlife watching or mediation. For those who like to cook over open fire you are welcome to use our outdoor kitchen area with logs as seats and a small range of cooking utensils.

If you wish for more relaxation you can hire one of our wonderful massage therapists in the village that will happily come to Vilan for a full body massage (starting at 600 Sek).

Your hosts Janie & Fredrik are both passionate relationship coaches and love to bring couples closer together. You are welcome to book a private session with them during your stay or check out their online offers/courses. Fredrik loves music and happily welcomes his guests with a song on request.

Are you ready for more pleasure and relaxation during your holiday?

THE NEIGHBOURHOOD

Stjärnsund is one of the most picturesque villages of Dalarna.

You get to enjoy nature in all its beauty. You will find endless lakes with small islands to explore and you can enjoy long walks through the mossy forrest. Each season has so much to offer and for anyone who loves being in nature it is so easy to fall in love with the mystical landscape of Stjärnsund and its surroundings.

The village is most alive during the summer months (June, July & August).

On the weekends you will be able to stroll along the farmers markets and art& craft markets as well as the Stjernsund brewery, that opens every so often for beer tasting evenings.

Fredrik has been organising for the past 15 years for big Swedish & some international artists to come to Smedjan ,the concert & entertainment hall of Stjärnsund and host amazing concerts during the long summer nights. This historical building is also a stunning wedding venue.

Another popular meeting point is the mini-golf next to the kiosk, where you can get an ice cream, a hotdog and some other simple and yet tasty food.

Stjärnsund is also known for Fridhem, which is our local community house connected with a beautiful permaculture & diversity garden. They offer Yoga classes (usually around 3 times a week), ecstatic dance evenings (usually on a Thursday) and a range of courses throughout the year all around permaculture, spirituality & mediation and art & nature.

The people in the village often gather for sports activities during the warmer months and play soccer or volleyball once a week, which you are welcome to join.

We also have a visitor center and a cute cafe and a restaurant in Stjärnsund (only open during the summer).
