Experience a feeling of bygone times in retro Fähus

For those who love and are passionate about retro and re-use and who want to decorate their homes personally. If you are tired of buying new, want to change to sustainable consumption, want to get inspired for something else, or think it is nice to lose yourself for a while in the 1950s, 1960s, or 1970s, here comes a golden opportunity! In collaboration with Furudals Retro, Susanne Bergvall, we have transformed and decorated our Fähus at Näsets Marcusgård with furniture […]

#lizzyopavontuur – A springretreat at Näsets Marcusgård in Furudal

Day 1: Wednesday at 9.00 o’clock: my plane lands at Stockholm Arlanda Airport, already there the atmosphere is laid back. Within 30 minutes after landing, I already have my rental car and am I on my way for a 5-day mini-retreat at the Swedish countryside. I meet Mireille from Näsets Marcusgård at the Carl Larsson Museum in Sundborn near Falun. This is the museum of the famous Swedish painter and his wife Karin (who also was famous for her creative […]

snowshoe hike middle of nowhere

The bear that was actually a moose!

A Sun in a radiant blue sky, a pack of new snow, dripping of snow melting, birds everywhere. Although spring seemed to be far away this weekend, it certainly feels like spring today. Maybe my last chance of exploring on snowshoes this winter in a piece of woods we have in mind for our guests. So I packed lunch and a thermos with tea and went off. How wonderful it feels when you walk all alone in the forest, and […]

Testing the kanelbullar workshop on the countryside

It is the perfect weather for it: -15 °C, snow slowly falling down, nothing but winter whites and greys outside. As soon as my friend Lotje and I step through the door of the little bakery in our village, we are in another world. The smell of fresh baked bread and pastries surrounds us. The yellow light from lamps and candles is very welcoming. It was time to test one of our new activities that shows why the countryside is […]

Snowshoe hiking

Our winter holiday on the countryside has a lot to offer

Winter is here in Furudal! This year, the snow arrived at the beginning of December and often stays until the spring, around April. Throughout the winter months, our forest is covered in a thick blanket of snow, and the lakes freeze over with ice that may be several feet thick: a real winter wonderland. It’s time to make the most of the snow and enjoy the beauty of the Swedish countryside in our area. To make that easier, we are […]

Näsets Marcusgård - Supermåne

And yes again a dream that has come true, two fantastic cabins in our own forest!

Who could have thought of that 4 years ago when we moved to Sweden and started something in the tourist industry. Over the years we have received many satisfied guests in our holiday homes and we looked for opportunities for expansion that should match us and our concept. Fortunately, we have found them and finally, they are ready and bookable: our Supermåne and the Oddis Öga. For us @Näsets Marcusgård quite a journey that lasted a year. It started last […]

Fishing trip try-out: Great and a typical Swedish experience!

We were looking for more fun activities for our guests in spring and autumn. Well, we had heard from locals that one of their favourites is fishing, and that is fantastic to fish in the area. But how do you prove to non-locals that you can fish very well here if you are not a fisherman yourself? And to make it more difficult: to non-locals who do not know the area and only stay here for a few days? We […]

Smulpaj / Blueberry crumble pie

It’s blueberry time again! For a moment I was afraid that because of the drought this year fewer berries could be found. But if you search and look at other places than in previous years, then you find plenty to indulge yourself and bake and bake and bake and make marmalade. Yesterday I finally had time to spend a bit longer in the forest. It was also cooler at last, so that I could go in long trousers and boots […]

What to do on a incredibly warm day, a Coffee- and Loppis-tour!

We are in the middle of an incredibly warm, un-Swedish summer. As long as you don’t have to work, perfect for long days at one of the beaches along the lakes or in a hammock in the shade. But what if you get a little bored of just laying down and want to do something else but avoid hot and busy towns? Get in your airconditioned car and follow these recommendations. A nice afternoon guaranteed. First, you drive to the […]
