Gelskov Gods is located in the middle of an original and unspoiled manor landscape, so nature, in the form of streams, persistent meadows, 200-year-old oak trees, breeding birds of prey, an untamed park and an ice-cold bathing lake, can be found directly outside the door. The estate is a great location for family and friends gatherings. Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate wild parties with large amounts of alcohol. A stay is suitable for contemplation, because architecture, nature and interior design form a whole and call for the visitor's presence.
Gelskov is a historic building from 1700/1917 owned by a noble family since 1773. The barn is the original main house built in the 1700s. The barn is very cozy and suitable for smaller groups. It is furnished with a private collection of French and Nordic antiques and curiosities. It faces well to the corners of the world, so there is a pleasant influx of light from the east and west. The wing adjoins the original manor house kitchen, which today serves as a dining room for guests of the main house. Occasionally, by appointment, the dining room can also be used by guests in the barn, but otherwise there is a dining area both in the small kitchen and in the living room.
A short drive away are sandy beaches, a golf course and the archipelago with several small, local ferry routes. South Funen offers a suitable landscape for hiking and running enthusiasts with a 220 km continuous and marked route on the Archipelago Trail. The 75 km long South Funen horseback riding route and fine roads for road cyclists are also within a short distance from the estate. Cultural attractions include Fåborg Museum, Egeskov Castle, Heartland Festival or Brandts Klædefabrik, as well as countless local artisans and good restaurants.
All beds can be separated from a double bed to two single beds as desired. Discounts can be offered for longer stays.

Highlights from Hilde
Host since April 2023
Feel the wings of history and find peace in the pocket of time at this beautiful old estate
Be embraced by the aesthetic setting of an interior decorated with unique antiques
Gather the extended family in the high-ceilinged rooms and let yourselves go wild in the large park
I am originally from Copenhagen, but have lived 32 years outside the city. Educated Midwife and Educator with versatile interests in the spectrum between culture and nature. Gelskov is our private home, and since 2020 it has been possible as a guest to rent the estate as a complete take-over. I am committed to preserving and curating the atmosphere of this historic place - an authentic, aesthetic, homely and very peaceful setting, which with one concept can best be described as a time warp - an atmosphere far from the fast pace of the modern world, which immediately makes the estate's guests feel comfortable
