Welcome to the oasis of tranquility from marieke, gerard, lou and cas
a childhood dream coming true
Ever since she was a little girl of just seven years old, Marieke dreamed of a house in Sweden—a place surrounded by trees, where the air was still and the lakes whispered stories. Years later, she married an adventurous man who shared her love for the wild, and together they welcomed two beautiful boys into the world.
One day, they packed their oldtimer offgrid camper, crossed the border, and drove north.
To Sweden.
Now, as a family, they’ve fallen head over heels for the silence of the forest, the fresh morning air, and the freedom that comes with life off-grid. To make their love for Sweden permanent they bought Solskenet. This little red cabin, Solskenet, is the heart of that dream—simple, soulful, and surrounded by nature. A place where barefoot days and laughter around the campfire fills their heart.
Your peace and quiet is our pride

A Story About Peace and Quiet
From the Forest Around Solskenet
It starts with silence.
Not the kind that feels empty, but the kind that holds you—like a soft blanket wrapped around your shoulders. The kind of silence that has a sound of its own: the rustle of wind through pine needles, the creak of an old tree stretching toward the sun, the soft crackle of a fire coming to life.
At Solskenet, peace doesn’t need to be found.
It’s already there—waiting for you.
You notice it in the mornings, when mist hangs low over the mossy ground and the world hasn’t quite woken up yet. You notice it when you sit on the porch with your coffee and nothing moves but a single bird gliding between trees. And in the evenings, when the sky fades to pink and the forest breathes deeper, slower, just like you do.
There is no rush here. No noise chasing your thoughts. No schedules to obey.
Just the rhythm of nature.
And you—coming back to yourself.
Because sometimes, peace isn’t something you create.
It’s something you remember, once everything else falls quiet.
And in this little red cabin, tucked deep in the Swedish woods,
quiet becomes your favorite sound.
When you stay at Solskenet, you’re not just spending time in a cabin—you’re stepping into a piece of history. Built in the 1800s and lovingly preserved, this little red house has weathered generations, seasons, and stories. Surrounded by deep forest and untouched nature, it offers a rare kind of stillness.
Please treasure our place while you’re here—leave it gently, live in it slowly, and let the silence tell you its tale.
