#05 A magical night in the exclusive and eco-friendly Løvtag Treehouse Cabin.
I experienced one of my favorite “slow ways” by waking up in a comfortable bed eight meters above the forest floor, surrounded by treetops and tranquility at the Danish Løvtag.
Løvtag isn’t a typical eco-friendly cabin. It’s a cabin built around a tree, where the tree itself lives inside the cabin! I stumbled upon Lovtag a few years ago, and this unique little cabin nestled in a Danish forest immediately resonated with me.
My dream came true in early April when my husband, Mark, and I had the chance to spend a day and a night in this magical, tranquil place.
Løvtag is located near Mariager Fjord in Denmark; the exclusive hotel has several cabins, and ours was named “Ro,” which translates to “Calm” in English.
Here, there are no cars—just a small wheelbarrow to transport your belongings.
Everything feels alive; lying in the comfortable bed by the large window, gazing out at the forest and its creatures while birdsong lulls you—it’s a true meditation.
After a brief pause on the rooftop terrace, enjoying an afternoon snack with local products provided upon our arrival, we set off to explore the forest. Mark and I love walking in silence. Our quietude allows nature to express itself through bird songs.
Back in “Ro,” we rest and later prepare our evening meal in our little kitchen. Everything inside Ro is beautiful and eco-friendly, and the hot shower is outdoors under the open sky.
As dusk settles, Mark captures the sky and stars with his camera, while I write in my journal, fully immersed in the forest from our cozy bed.
We fall asleep to the rhythm of nature. “Ro” exudes coziness, and we feel the tree’s energy. The air here is purer and gentler. The tree shares its secrets and protection with us.
At dawn, we wake up from a deep, peaceful sleep. Breakfast, sourced locally, arrives at the base of our cabin at 8 a.m., and it is all delicious!
We meditate, shower in the forest air, and prepare for our departure.
This day’s adventure felt like it lasted much longer. Before leaving, we took one last stroll to admire the other cabins.
For me, retreating into the forest is pure meditation—a favorite among my “slow ways.”
We will for sure return!

The architecture

Inside, the cabins are both modern, comfortable and ‘hyggelige’. Built 6-8 meters up the tree, the cabins enclose the tree itself which goes up through the middle of the cabin, ensuring that our guests are truly close to nature. Large windows to the south and west let in lots of natural light.
