The Attic more info

Alternative to North Wing
This house is not primarily designed for accomodation but we have had several guests staying here and they have been very satisfied.

This meeting/party-facility Källarvinden is available on the eastate. It consist of an old cellar (stone valt) that is equipped with tables, bar & open fireplace. Over the cellar there is a modern meeting/conference/cinema room with kitchen, toilet, shower, projector & internet. There are also sofabeds & madrasses so it's possible to live there without problems. If you are many or maybe have teenagers who want to live alone this is an alternative. It is also an alternative if the south-wing is booked & you want to come earlier or stay longer. As a guest you can use it for a sheap per hour fee if nobody else is renting it at full price. It could be an emergency solution if you have teenagers & it's raining all the time.

The Smithy more info

Smedjan This house was originally a brewery. It later became a smithy. In the 80th it was converted into a pottery.

It is not far to the bathing place by lake Nömmen with canoes, wooden heated sauna & bathtub.

One boat & fishing license for Rödjenäs waters (350ha) is included in the house. The sauna is free of charge for guests (you). It is possible to rent bigger fishingboats with engines or canoes. With the canoes it is possible to enter the river and canoe in amazonas like surroundings, this is a whole day activity. It is actually possible to canoe all the way to the Baltic sea but it will take a few days.
If someone want to try waterskiing & similar it is also possible.

The lake is very nice and unique with a lot of islands to explore, don't get lost! other guests have. You will get a map of course. During August it is possible to join in for profesional crayfishing or try to catch some of the "black gold" by your own. If you come in wintertime & the lake is frozen it is possible to skate or do "ice hole fishing" (or what it's called in english).
