Arctic Retreat
Arctic Retreat is a small high-quality eco-lodge. Enjoy a beautiful stay in well-appointed log timber cabins overlooking the Råne River in Swedish Lapland. It is tucked away deep in the boreal forests at a river bend. At the foot of a rapid – a hidden gem that is exclusive but still personal and genuine.
To those devoid of imagination a blank space on the map is a useless waste, to others the most valuable part.
