About Us
Welcome to Treehotel - a place where you can experience nature in a unique way! We are a family-owned business founded in 2010 by Kent and Britta Lindvall, and since 2022 the hotel is owned by Jonas Olsson and Hannah Wennebro Olsson. Our vision is to deliver a magical experience in a unique environment through passionate, top-class hosting. We promise to constantly strive to develop and innovate our place to create curiosity for your next meeting.
Our business is based in Harads, a small village located in the Norrland forest. We offer tree rooms and ground level rooms, all designed by different architects with a unique and modern touch. Each room is equipped with modern amenities such as heating, electricity, shower and toilet, while integrating nature in a discreet and beautiful way.
At Treehotel you can relax and enjoy nature at your own pace. You can take a walk along the Lule river, canoe, fish or explore the forest on foot or by bike. We also offer guided tours and activities, including magical Northern Lights tours, treehouse walks and tastings of local produce.
We are proud to run a business with sustainability in focus. We work hard to reduce our environmental impact. We also use local ingredients and work with local producers to support the local economy.
We hope you will enjoy your stay at Treehotel and experience the fantastic Swedish forest in a unique and memorable way!
The experience
At Treehotel in Harads you’ll have an unforgettable experience that starts with a friendly reception at Treehotel Guesthouse before you’re guided to your treeroom. Each treeroom is a unique creation by Scandinavia’s leading architects. The modern design combined with the quiet of the forest creates an instant feeling of luxurious relaxation.
As a guest you can enjoy all meals at Treehotel Guesthouse served in a genuine 1930’s-1950’s setting. The warm and cozy atmosphere at the Guesthouse, combined with the treerooms’ contemporary design, creates an entirely unique dimension for you as a Treehotel guest. For guests who prefer privacy, meals can of course be delivered to your treeroom.
A weekend at Treehotel offers a variety of both summer and winter activities. But many guests choose to simply enjoy the quiet, timelessness and harmony that are found in the tree and surroundings. A good book, a magical view and stylish accommodation are enough to create the feeling Treehotel is all about.
Environmental consideration
Treehotel is built on the genuine experience of nature, so it’s a given that sustainability and ecological values are two pillars of our hotel operation.
We build our treerooms in the natural forest while hardly affecting the surroundings. We choose material and construction techniques that make as little environmental impact as possible. We build on live trees without destroying the tree and we do not chop down any trees or damage nature while building. Mostly we use local construction companies.
We have chosen an eco outdoor wood floor, which doesn´t contain any chemical substances. The wood is heated to over 200 degrees, which triggers their intrinsic resistance to protect against destruction.
The treerooms all have good insulation and are warmed up by underfloor heating. The electricity is supplied locally from green hydroelectric power. And the lighting consists of low-energy LED-systems.
Daily operations have minimal impact on nature as well. The treerooms have no sewage system and when cleaning, we always use eco-friendly products.
Each room has a modern, environmentally friendly combustion toilet where everything is incinerated at 600 °C. The toilets are completely odourless and powered by electricity.
Bathrooms have water-efficient sinks with running water sufficient for washing hands, face and brushing teeth. All wastewater is collected in a container that is emptied daily. Showers are located in a separate building.
We do hope that you, as our guest, appreciate our sustainability work, even if it does make your accommodation a bit simpler. While we want to have our hotel in the middle of nature, we want to do it on nature’s terms.
