Wonderful home!

My family and I (13 years old to 82 years old) had a fantastic holiday here. This is the best VRBO I have stayed in. The host provided everything you might need or think of - her information packet is better than most tourist books you will find! She was also incredibly responsive to questions. The location is simply beautiful and the area offers many things to see and do. I could say so many other things but will end with this - if you want to see Norway, then this is the place to go.

Ein wunderschöner Urlaub

Eine sehr schöne und sehr gut ausgestattete Unterkunft zum Wohlfühlen. Auch die Lage ist für Ausflüge zum Erkunden der reizvollen Landschaft perfekt. Sarah ist für Fragen jederzeit ansprechbar und ihr liegt es sehr am Herzen, dass der Urlaub in ihrem Haus rundum gelungen ist. So stellt sie umfangreiche Infomappen zur Verfügung, zum Beispiel mit den schönsten Ausflugszielen in der Nähe. Es war eine sehr schöne Woche, die leider viel zu schnell vergangen ist. Vielen lieben Dank, liebe Sarah!

Amazing stay for our family!

We have stayed at many places all over the world and we felt like this might have been our very best experience. Sarah was attentive and communicative, and the house had every small detail taken care of for us. It is also in one of the most beautiful locations we have ever seen. We were able to rent a small boat nearby and explore the fjord from the water and loved the view from this house (morning and evening). We hope to go back some day!
