Holiday gatherings & conferences

A whole school. All yours.

A bike ride from the ancient forests of Tiveden lies a 1950s village school — 52 beds, a commercial kitchen and a dining hall that seats seventy-two. Rent the whole house, close the gate and make the place your own.

The school

The school desks are gone. The corridors, the tall windows and the high ceilings — still here.

The school closed in 2007. We — a group of friends and families — bought it in 2020 to make a place where we could gather regularly, and since then we rent out the whole building to groups who need plenty of space, their own kitchen, their own dining hall — and a setting that feels nothing like a conference hotel.

The main building dates from the 1950s and stands alongside the original school houses from the 19th century. The room names survive from the school days, as does the feel of the corridors — beautiful windows and a full-size gymnasium.

The area

Ten kilometres from Tiveden's ancient forest.

The school is in Undenäs, between lakes Viken and Unden. Mossy boulders, quiet mornings, swimming off the rocks — and three kilometres to the nearest jetty.

Tiveden National Park

A bike ride away · hiking & rocky beaches

One of Sweden's most dramatic national parks. Moss-covered boulders, ancient forest and views from Trollkyrka.

Swimming in Viken & Unden

A bike ride away · several swimming spots

There is no shortage of places to swim here — in Viken, Unden and several smaller lakes. The nearest is a short bike ride away.

Boating on Viken & Unden

Through friends in the village

We have friends here who rent out boats and take people on trips on Viken and Unden. Say the word and we will put you in touch.

Cook together

The best kickoff activity we know

The kitchen is built for large-scale cooking. We can recommend local suppliers — or catering if you'd rather leave it to someone else.

Common questions

Before you book.

Anything from a small group up to 72 people in the dining hall. The building has 52 beds spread across dormitories, double rooms and family rooms — ideal for kickoffs, management offsites, family reunions and wedding preparations. Larger groups during the daytime (without overnight stay) are also welcome.
Bed linen can be hired for a modest cost per guest, or you can bring your own. We send a packing list before arrival.
Yes — children are warmly welcome. We have high chairs, potties, a changing table and two toilets with child seats. Playroom, gymnasium and large lawns.
The kitchen is designed for self-catering, but we're happy to recommend local caterers if you'd prefer not to cook.
The building should be left in the same condition as on arrival. We ask you to report which rooms were used. An additional cleaning charge may apply if needed.
No, unfortunately not.
