The 70s cottage of 90 m2 is surrounded by tall forest trees and is perfect for the large family or group of friends seeking both nature and outdoor experiences. There's a lovely sauna, a hot tub, fire pit, shelter, outdoor kitchen and chickens for fresh eggs for breakfast. If you rent the cottage for more than two nights, you are welcome to feed and water the chickens and let them out in the chicken coop during the rental period. In return, fresh eggs will be provided during your stay. Both dogs and rabbits are welcome, and the latter can be accommodated in the cottage's rabbit hutch.
When you enter the cottage, you immediately feel the classic cottage atmosphere. The house is decorated with love for simple cottage life and nature.
The large common area is cozy with a wood-burning stove instead of a TV. The house has four bedrooms, two of which have bunk beds. Several additional accommodation options can be arranged with Tanya: two overnight stays in the heated annex, three beds in the shelter, two wool divans on the covered terrace and the option to borrow the family caravan, which sleeps five in total.
Outside, you can enjoy your morning coffee or a glass of wine on the large covered terrace in all weathers. There are several seating arrangements spread across the grounds according to the sun's movement in the sky. You can cook outdoors at the house's outdoor kitchen with a large gas grill and well-stocked campfire kitchen. In the greenhouse, there is a good green harvest in the summer months, as well as a herb garden and potato bed.
If you want to use the sauna and hot tub, the rent for the sauna and hot tub is DKK 600,-, or DKK 1200,- if you want to use both during your stay. For the wood-fired hot tub, you must bring your own firewood for lighting.
On the large lawn, children can play on the trampoline or in the playhouse. The forest is just 100 meters away and you can borrow the cottage's bikes and go for a ride in the countryside or to the beach. This cottage is the perfect vacation spot for anyone who loves the joys of nature.

My name is Tanya and our holiday home, better known as Refugiet, has been in the family since I was 8 years old. My family and I, who live in Hillerød, have a very close relationship with the house and the area, as it's like a childhood home full of good memories. Our children thrive when we are here as we have everything from a playhouse in the garden, trampoline and 4 cute chickens.
On a daily basis, I work with nature-based psychotherapeutic and experiential therapy and occasionally use the summer house as a retreat. I organize everything from campfire meals, psychotherapeutic nature therapy and hikes.
The local area is absolutely fantastic. Tisvilde Hegn is, in my eyes, one of Denmark's most beautiful natural areas with a rich wildlife and bordering the beautiful coastline known as the Danish Riviera. We often go for a walk in the forest at dusk, where we almost always see deer. A bike ride to the beach or a canoe trip on Arresø is also among our favorite activities. In Nationalpark Kongernes Nordsjælland you can experience unique nature with great species richness, explore our exciting cultural heritage, visit exciting museums, exquisite farm cafés, and you may be lucky enough to experience the seasonal music/culture/yoga/nature/food pop up festivals.

The house was very cozy and provided a great setting for a family trip with several adult couples.
The house is more ideal for families with children because of the beds. There was really only one double bed for adults as the other double bed is 160. In addition, there is not much space in the bunk beds.
We had a sad experience with the cleaning as it hardly looked like it had been cleaned (a lot of dust and lint on the floors and cobwebs, etc). This was shared with the host and we found a good solution, but it had a big impact on our stay.
