A Base for Adventure in Northern Sweden

In the village of Granö in northern Sweden, the Granö Beckasin lodge offers the modern comforts of a hotel room in the form of a treehouse or “birds nest” as they call it.

The concept of a treehouse still elicits my childhood curiosity about living above the ground amidst bark and birds.

Forming a circle around the top of a small hill along the Umeriver, the six birds nests offer incredible views of the surrounding water and forest.

When the northern lights are in the forecast (fall and winter), they can be visible from these rooms. 

However, there’s much more to staying at Granö Beckasin than living in the trees, as I soon discovered during my four-day trip to Vasterbotten.

Granö Beckasin makes an excellent base from which to go on adventures in northern Sweden.

But first, I want to introduce you to all the options for getting a good night’s sleep at this unique lodge.
