The heart of Erikson Cottage's heritage is the Ryggåsstugan, a traditional Swedish farmhouse built in 1790.

The bakery quickly became a beloved spot for locals and travelers alike, known for its wood-fired pizzas, delicious buns, and aromatic coffee—each made with passion and respect for local ingredients.
Adding to the unique hospitality experience, 2021 saw the introduction of glasshouse accommodations on the property.
