Skogstead Cabin in the boreal forest

Tucked away in a beautiful forest of birch and spruce, our Hytte offers a thoughtful space to rest and explore. The furnishings have been thoughtfully curated to be minimalist, warm and peaceful. Many items are vintage or made by us. We have purposefully chosen amenities that are low waste and environmentally conscious. As a welcome to our guests, we provide fresh eggs from our flock of chickens, homemade granola, milk, fresh fruit, coffee and tea! The space Our hytte is a one room with a queen size bed. There is an optional single air mattress in the cabinet that can be put on the floor for another adult or child if needed. There is a countertop and sink with a double burner cooktop for simple meals. Eating utensils, cups, plates and bowls are on the shelves above. We have a Fellow pour over coffee setup with a handheld Snowpeak grinder for a lovely hot cup of coffee! A mini fridge is situated in the cabinet below the counter. Seating for two also in the main room. The bathroom has a shower and sink space with a composting toilet. Instructions for use of the composting toilet are conveniently placed on the wall next to it for ease of use:) Our place has all the comfort essentials and we’re continually working on adding amenities. Please feel free to clarify any needs or questions before booking! Guest access The hytte has its own driveway that is just to the right of ours at the top of the hill. It has its own set of keys and a locking door. It’s nestled in the forest so there’s lots of privacy but our home is just through the trees so we’re right there for help or questions. Other things to note Our area is outside of wifi service so we do not have have access to wifi but cell service is pretty good. The composting toilet may seem pretty odd but in Alaska, it is fairly common and it greatly reduces our water consumption. The instructions we have on the wall next to it should make it easy to use!
