Overnight stays when work requires it

The two smaller rooms can provide a practical solution when work requires an overnight stay. In the approved 1990 building permit drawing, the rooms are intended for pilots staying overnight as part of the business then operating on the property.

This concerns occasional overnight stays connected to work, not a separate or permanent residence. A future owner should confirm the intended use with Storuman Municipality.

The place today

The peninsula sits in the middle of Tärnaby, with the lake around it and the road just behind. The pictures here are photographs of the place. They show the cabin, the plot and the setting as they are today.

A place with a history of enterprise

Sjöstugan was originally built as a booking and service building for seaplane operations, with a reception, kitchenette, waiting area and two smaller rooms where pilots could stay overnight in connection with their work. The site was also used for helicopter operations.

After the aviation activities, a previous owner used the property for a restaurant and takeaway food business. During a later period, the site also had an outdoor serving area, hot tubs and a sauna under temporary permits. This shows how the property has supported several different types of business over the years. Depending on the intended business, a future owner can explore the possibility of applying for new permits.

Hikki later used Sjöstugan as a product development office and as a place for trade, product development and product testing. Hikki also held smaller events at the property where the company’s products were displayed and presented.

Hikki has not operated a spa, cold-bathing or sauna business at the property. Images and descriptions of such possibilities are intended as inspiration for a future owner.

No existing business, equipment or brand is included in the purchase. The next owner has the opportunity to continue the property’s history with a business of their own.

Ideas for the property

The images and suggestions below are intended as inspiration for potential buyers. They show examples of how a future entrepreneur might make use of the lakeside setting, the building and the property’s history.

A café and meeting place by the water

What is unusual here is the combination of a mountain village and direct access to the lake. Such spots are rare in the Swedish mountains. It opens the door to a small business with a clear character. A café, a simple kitchen, or a place where cold bathing, sauna and something to eat belong together. People can gather here after a day on the slopes, on the trail or on the lake.

A base for fishing

The peninsula sits in Gäutan, where lake trout of 2 to 5 kg are common (more under Fishing in Gäutan). A boat ramp and a pier for sheltered mooring are part of the property, and the building has an open commercial space, kitchen, WC and shower. It could become a base for fishing guides, boat hire or guided trips to the mountain lakes around Tärnaby. The building was put up for seaplane operations, and the current zoning plan covers air traffic and trade.

Simple food indoors

Simple food indoors

The building contains an open commercial space, an equipped kitchen, WC and shower, and two smaller rooms for overnight stays. The layout may suit a small business where work, meetings and occasional overnight stays need to be combined in one place.

Work from the mountains

For anyone who can work remotely, whether as a freelancer, in a small team or as a digital nomad, Sjöstugan could become an inspiring place for work, product development and smaller meetings, with the lake and mountains just outside. The building has an open workspace, kitchen, WC and shower, as well as two smaller rooms for anyone who needs to stay overnight when work requires it. Hikki itself used the building as a product development office, and in 2022 three people worked here every day. There is no fibre. Internet runs over the mobile network.

Possible directions

  • Cold bathing and sauna with mountain views
  • A small retreat or meeting venue
  • Café or restaurant

Fishing in Gäutan

A stone-edged point reaching into Gäutan, with the lake on both sides.

The peninsula reaches into Gäutan, a large lake in the middle of Tärnaby. The lake holds lake trout, brown trout, Arctic char and whitefish. Lake trout of 2 to 5 kg are common, and every year fish of up to about 15 kg are caught. One of 14 kg was caught in 2024. The shore is 20 metres from the building. In winter there is ice fishing on the same lake, mostly for whitefish, especially when the ice has just formed and late in spring.

A boat ramp and a pier for sheltered mooring are part of the property. A fishing permit is needed, from Tärna fiskevårdsområde, the local fishing association (tarnafvo.se): SEK 50 a day or SEK 350 a year (2026). It covers the whole lake, boat fishing included.
