Lovely accommodation with beautiful nature right on the doorstep. We celebrated two 40th birthdays with time to relax, good food and hiking. A great place that we would happily recommend. Thank you very much!
Staying at Wallhalla Bed & Breakfast
At Wallhalla, you’ll stay in a spacious house with several living rooms, a dining room and a reading corner. The rooms are individually decorated, and the house offers both privacy and plenty of space to spend time together. Wallhalla is located in Vännfors, Västerbotten, about 30 km from Umeå. The garden has several seating areas and plenty of open space. When the weather allows, many guests have breakfast outside, use the barbecue or simply sit and relax in the peaceful surroundings. Wallhalla is run by Ing-Marie and Stig, who are usually around if you would like recommendations for walks or places to visit nearby. If you’d like some extra relaxation, you can also book our relaxation area with a sauna and wood-fired hot tub. It is booked for private use, so you have the whole area to yourselves.

Our rooms at Wallhalla
At Wallhalla, you’ll stay in one of our four rooms, each with its own character and thoughtfully chosen details. The décor blends old and new, with furniture and objects that Stig has collected during his travels over the years, as well as pieces passed down through the generations. You’ll sleep in comfortable beds and have access to two shared bathrooms, with a washing machine and underfloor heating for colder months. From the windows, you can look out over the farmyard and the countryside around Vännfors. In winter, snow lies quietly over the fields, while in summer the evenings remain light well into the night. We clean without chemicals, using only ENJO fibre and water, with care for both our guests and the environment. Below, you can read more about our rooms and see which one suits you best.
Ragnhild double room
