Elevate your Retreat

Elevate Your Retreat – these words beckon you to embark on a journey, not just to a location but towards a profound experience.

Welcome to Jep’s Place, an exclusive retreat venue nestled in the heart of the serene nature of northern Sweden. This off-grid haven offers a unique and profound setting for transformative retreats. As you embark on this virtual journey, we invite you to explore the distinctive features that make Jep’s Place stand out among retreat sites worldwide.

At Jep’s Place, the very essence of our retreats is rooted in the embrace of silence, tranquility, and vast open spaces. Far from the hustle and bustle of urban life, our location provides an unparalleled sense of stillness. Imagine immersing yourself in an environment where the only sounds you hear are the whispers of the wind through the trees and the gentle rustling of leaves underfoot.

What sets us apart is our commitment to being completely off-grid. This means no connections to electricity, water, gas, or sewage systems. We provide our own. It’s a conscious choice to live in harmony with nature, understanding that every resource, from water to electricity, is precious. This off-grid experience becomes an integral part of your retreat, fostering a deep connection with the environment as you learn to appreciate and utilize resources mindfully.

Jep’s Place is not just a retreat venue; it’s a place with a rich history. Jep’s Place is a unique venue with a rich historical background. The concept of a Swedish ‘fäbod’ – a seasonal settlement used for summer grazing and milk production – has been beautifully reimagined into a modern retreat. The roots of this tradition date back to ancient times, possibly even before the first millennium, with a focus on managing livestock during the summer months.

Today, Jep’s Place pays homage to this history, reimagining the fäbod concept into a modern haven for retreats.

Tucked away in the woodlands, our retreat is a testament to craftsmanship – every building, a testament to our dedication. Self-sufficient as much as possible, from our own garden to the very eggs we use, Jep’s Place is a sanctuary of self-reliance and authenticity.

Jep’s Place finds its home in the heart of the serene Scandinavian wilderness. Our secluded location, situated at a distance of 4 kilometers from the nearest neighbors in the charming Borgvattnet village, provides guests with a much-needed escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. This isolation ensures that your retreat is truly an escape into nature, allowing you and your guests to come to deep transformations.

All our buildings, except the 1936 stuga, are constructed with our hands, adding a personal touch to the retreat experience.

We have embraced self-sufficiency, growing fresh vegetables, raising livestock for meat, and keeping chickens for fresh eggs, ensuring the freshest and most delectable meals for our guests.

Our commitment to preserving the natural beauty of the region is evident through our membership in the Geopark Indalsälven.

The allure of Jep’s Place transcends each season, providing a diverse backdrop for transformative retreats. In the heart of winter, experience the true magic of the season, with temperatures dropping to -30 degrees Celsius and snow-covered landscapes reminiscent of a winter wonderland.

Winter at Jep’s Place is not just cold; it’s an immersive experience. Frozen lakes become avenues for snowmobile adventures, ice fishing, and even full-moon walks on a snowy canvas. As the dark season blankets the region, the Northern Lights emerge, painting the sky with hues of green and purple, visible throughout the extended dark period from late August to early April.

Step into the unique phenomenon of the ‘spring winter,’ where snow persists, yet the sun graces the landscape with warmth and sunlight. Witness the rapid burst of nature’s growth in spring, a short but intense season that sees the emergence of various flora and heightened activity among the local wildlife.

As summer arrives, the environment transforms once again. Days extend to 20.5 hours of daylight, revealing a landscape adorned with diverse plant life.

As winter blankets the landscape, our retreats embrace the enchantment of the season.
