The property is noted as being remote from town, requiring a 20km bike ride to Kristinehamn for amenities, though a bus stop is nearby.
“All I can say here is, if you want to be in town this is not the place. However, there are a few restaurant options near by and a full shared kitchen.”
“Foot note for bikers: good idea to have room on your bike to shop, for breakfast/lunch/dinner, before you reach Snällfäll, because it is a 20 km bike ride to Kristinehamn. There is a busstop nearby though, if you DO NOT want to take your bike. :)”

“My room was the one right at the main entrance, causing our furry one to constantly be alerted when someone entered/exited the house. On the other side of our room was a locked door, the living area. So there was not really a place to put our dog without constant noise, etc., where we could shield her from.”
“The room was big enough and comfy. No blinds on the windows, so you'd have to wake up when the sun rises. And also well, some faith that no one peeks in lol.”

One room near the main entrance was problematic for a guest with a dog due to noise. Another room had issues with smell, dampness, dust, and lack of ventilation/openable windows.
“My room was the one right at the main entrance, causing our furry one to constantly be alerted when someone entered/exited the house. On the other side of our room was a locked door, the living area. So there was not really a place to put our dog without constant noise, etc., where we could shield her from.”
“My room smelled horrible, and the air felt both damp and dusty to breathe in. There was no window that could open and no ventilation system in place. I slept with the door to the hallway open because otherwise the air would be unbearable”

“Hallå Eller!!! Detta var en helt oväntad helgsemester p.g.a. Nyhetsmorgon på TV4 som berättade om Snällfäll, ÅkerboGård. Och ALLT gick långt över vad jag förväntat mig! Håkan och Kristina gjorde hela vistelsen så otroligt lugn och trivsam, behaglig och samtidigt super rolig och spännande! Själv har jag haft SUPER HÄSTSKRÄCK!!! Men på dessa två ynka dagar har denna skräck minskat med åtminstone 75% ... men det var OTROLIGA hästar jag mötte! ALLT har varit underbart! Jag bokade en helg så att jag kunde umgås med mina pojkar, min svärdotter & mitt barnbarn på en lugn plats...och dagen efter ringde de och tackade för de tyckte, precis som jag, att det varit fantastiskt skönt! Så vill ni bara må bra, ha det gott, slappna av och bara må bra... boka några dagar, en vecka, en månad... Här mår man bra!!!”
“Underbart boende med härlig miljö. Tyst och lugnt. Gården har flera trevliga djur att besöka tillsammans med värdparet som erbjuder guidning. Rent och fräscht. Vi sov gott i mycket bra sängar. Fina gemensamma ytor. Vi kommer snart igen.”
