This glamorous dock house will be a less ordinary overnight stay during your next discovery of the High Coast World Heritage.
A fantastic location for lodging: close enough to stroll to Skuleberget Mountain and to readily reach the area's natural surroundings near Skuleskogen National Park.
At the "Dock3", situated within the marina in Docksta, you and your partner will enjoy sleeping OVER the sea and love the merging of the indoors with the outdoors.
This dock house was transformed towards the end of the 1970s (originally it was a fishing boathouse that was built above the water), preserving its character of being at one with the sea.
Under the floor, made of pre-impregnated wooden dock boards, you still see the reflection of the water, and the sound of the surf between the wooden walls serves as music as you sleep 1.5 meters above the sea's surface.
The accommodation is roomy; you have access to more than 40 m2 of inside surface area as well as the similar amount of private space outside, with access to the sea, on your own pier and terrace.
Your bed is undoubtedly the focal point of the sizable living area; it looks eastward out the 3-meter dock window onto the fjord. As if on a boat's deck, you will have an exclusive view of the ocean from your bed.
It is a real double bed (160x200), a one-of-a-kind piece of furniture made specifically for the dock, with comfortable bedding, including pillows, duvets, and additional blankets for more warmth if needed.
You will also enjoy living outside on the seafront by immediately accessing the large portion of the pertinent jetty around the dock. You can step out and start swimming in the water only a few steps away from your door.
This cabin provides an exceptional relationship with the water and the landscape view from the pier: here outdoor and indoor become one.
·
Take note before booking: you will have a glamorous experience, but pay close attention—there won't be any heating inside the dock (only the summer months are suitable for renting it). We also have additional blankets in case the weather decides to deceive you.
·
The spacious cabin's interiors ensure your comfort and freedom.
The building's design is straightforward, as are the traditional Nordic boathouses; inside, there is just a minimal amount of furniture—just what is necessary to enjoy your seaside accommodation—and wood is used to build everything from the walls and ceiling to the floor, which is constructed of pier boards.
There is a 33-square-meter area overlooking the water with sleeping and sitting areas where the bed and sofa are situated.

Private outdoor place by the sea, access to the water, and forniture (table and chairs, deck chairs).

The Dock3 is available on Airbnb for sea lovers and hikers as the "base camp by the sea" to easily access and enjoy the Skuleskogen National Park and the natural surroundings in the area of the Skuleberget mountain.
Bring your best studded shoes, mountain bike, kayak or paddleboard: the High Coast is right on your doorstep and is all to be experienced!
Overview from the Skuleberget mountain, there are 5 beautiful paths to reach the peak and a chairlift, too.
WHY
The accommodation is conveniently located nearby the Skuleberget mountain and the Skuleskogen National Park, making it a great place to stay and to start to discover the World Heritage Site while on vacation on the High Coast.
The marina is within walking distance of the "Naturum" museum, the High Coast World Heritage Center located at the feet of the easterly face of the Skuleberget mountain.
From the marina, you can easily access the area's natural beauty and participate in outdoor activities and events in Docksta, such as climbing "Via Ferrata" routes, running the Höga Kusten Trail and Twin Peaks races, or attending the outdoor concerts at Skulebergets Naturscen.
This unique lodging is anything but typical. From your bed, watch the sun rise across the fjord. Enjoy eating breakfast or an aperitivo on the docks with a view of the sea.
To spend a couple of glamorous nights on land, your kayaks (or boat) safely docked in the marina.

Where is The marina
The dock house is situated on the Dockstafjärden at the guest harbor in Docksta.
When you arrive in Docksta on the E4, just at the end of the Dockstafjärden in front of the village, you will see our floating wharfs, docks, and boathouses. The marina is about 100 meters from the pier of the ferry to Ulvön Island and the bus stop "Docksta E4/Marina", and a few hundred meters from the bus stop in the village (near the ICA supermarket).
If you are hiking along the Höga Kusten Leden, you will find the marina 200 m from your track when it passes through the main road of the village or from the ICA store.
