Løvtag Treetop Cabins, Als Odde

Forest Refuge High Above the Ground

Løvtag’s treetop cabins sit in a quiet stretch of woodland at Als Odde, not far from Mariager Fjord in Himmerland. Here the forest understorey gives way to slim trunks and rustling crowns, and it is in these treetops that the cabins perch several metres above the ground. The setting feels secluded and low-key: just you, the creak of branches in the breeze and the shuffle of wildlife in the undergrowth. The cabins are accessed via raised walkways and stairs, so the moment you leave the forest floor the perspective shifts. Through the trees you catch glimpses of sky and, in places, distant fields and water. At night, the area is dark enough for a good show of stars when the clouds clear, adding to the sense of being far removed from everyday routines.

Architecture Wrapped Around Living Trees

Designed as modern Nordic treehouses, the cabins are built on stilts, with a mature tree literally passing through the structure. Rather than enclosing it, the architecture gives the trunk room to breathe, so you are always aware of the living forest inside your space. Large panes of glass reach almost to the floor, framing trunks, moss and leaves like shifting landscape paintings. Interiors lean toward warm minimalism: pale wood, clean lines and a compact but thoughtful layout that folds bedroom, lounge and kitchenette into a single open space. The effect is intentionally simple rather than flashy, allowing the forest outside to take centre stage while still feeling distinctly like a design object rather than a rustic hut.

Everyday Comforts in the Canopy

Despite the back-to-nature setting, the cabins are fully equipped for comfortable overnight stays. There is an indoor bathroom with flushing toilet and a shower, often paired with a second outdoor shower where you can bathe under the open sky in warmer months. Heating keeps the interiors cosy in cooler seasons, while insulation and shading help temper summer warmth. A small but practical kitchen space usually includes a hob, basic cookware and a coffee machine or kettle, so you can prepare simple meals or breakfast without leaving your treetop nest. Storage is deliberately limited to keep the atmosphere uncluttered, which rewards travellers who pack light and embrace a more pared-back style of living for a night or two.

Rooftop Terraces and Slow Moments

One of Løvtag’s defining features is the roof terrace reached by another short flight of stairs above the cabin. Up here, you stand level with the canopy, with branches and leaves almost within arm’s reach. It is an evocative spot for morning coffee, an afternoon of reading or a glass of wine as the light fades through the trees. The surrounding forest invites gentle exploration rather than intense activity. Small paths thread between trunks, and the broader Als Odde area connects to the shores of Mariager Fjord, where salt air and open views contrast with the enclosed feel of the woods. Many guests balance time indoors with quiet walks, birdwatching and simply listening to the layered sounds of wind and wildlife.

A Retreat for Couples and Quiet Escapes

Løvtag is shaped around the idea of retreat: fewer distractions, more time to notice small details like raindrops on leaves or the way dawn light filters through the canopy. The scale of the cabins and the intimate setting lend themselves especially well to couples, solo travellers seeking peace, or small families comfortable with close quarters. It works best for visitors who enjoy design, nature and stillness rather than extensive facilities or organised entertainment. Mobile reception is present but can feel patchy, which subtly encourages a digital pause. With its combination of treetop architecture, forest immersion and just enough luxury, Løvtag offers a distinctive way to experience the Danish landscape from several metres above the forest floor.
