Torp · a small Swedish farmstead cottage

Built in timber around 1850, brought up to modern standards

Djäknetuva was built using traditional Swedish timber construction. The exposed log wall and the wood-fired central heating date from the house's earlier life, and the house has since been upgraded to modern standards.

Forest surrounds the house on every side, and it has one neighbour. Arvika's shops and cafés are 1.5 km away. Guests have the main house, the guest house and the sauna, and take firewood from the woodshed in the barn.
