The unusual hotel, named the Kolarbyn Eco-Lodge, is located close to Skinnskatteberg, Stockholm, Sweden, and allows you to be at one with nature without all the luxuries of the 21st Century. Originally built as a place for charcoal burning, the site has now become a place to escape from life’s everyday technologies and stress.
