Welcome to Hogbacka - the 'house on the hill'
Not all luxury getaways cost the earth...
This beautiful Swedish property is in Nystrand village, just a few minutes from the town of Älvsbyn in Swedish Lapland. Our village location is a real tonic, and you'll immediately feel welcome and at home. There's a strong community feel, and you'll notice a warm respect for both the environment and for you, as guests in the locality.
The house has everything you need - and more
The spacious property is tastefully furnished in a contemporary Swedish style, and it combines the warmth of pine with accents of colour in its textile accessories.

You’ll be treated to the very best service – and it’s great value for money
The owners, David Watling (architectural and interior design consultant in practice) and Maggie Watling (teacher), understand the pressures of work and they also know just how good it feels to spend time away somewhere completely different, whether with friends, family or on a corporate away-week. They also understand how important it is to experience good value.
You'll love the quiet, calm and natural environment. Nothing is hurried, and in such a beautiful place, there's a delight for the senses around every corner. In winter, the lights - both outside and in the windows of the houses - are straight out of a Christmas scene, and in summer the dazzle of colour all around reflects the most perfect picture postcard. From the house you can walk straight up into the forests, and there's never any need to worry about walking onto someone's land - you can walk anywhere in Sweden.
