It was about time...
It all began in 2005 when my wife Lis, our daughter Kari, and I (Kurt) returned to Sweden from California. Lis, a retired jockey and the first female professional jockey in Europe, and I, with twenty-five years in the horticultural industry, decided to chase our lifelong dream of creating a nature retreat in southern Sweden. Our dream became a reality in 2012 when we acquired farmland in the Skåne Alps, encompassing about 6 acres surrounded by grazing pastures and a stunning Beech tree forest. Our property features a lake perfect for cooling off and numerous hiking trails. Over the years, we've added several structures, including The Quiet Room, a relaxation haven for yoga enthusiasts and musicians, The Hangout by the lake for sunset views and marshmallow roasting, and our latest addition, the Lake Front Sauna, a charming wood-burning sauna offering an authentic Swedish experience. We hope you enjoy everything Happy Dogs Ranch has to offer during your stay with us!
