Magical Norway

It's not just a holiday home. It's a place Roy and Berit build themselves (literally) and originally for their own family use. Cottage is very well designed, extremely comfortable and full of good vibes. It gives guests fantastic opportunity to slow down and enjoy world without hustle and bustle of everyday urban life. Highly recommended!

Awesome house in the middle of nature

We had a wonderful time at Roy and Berit‘s cottage, that actually isn‘t. Better description would be lovely boutique hideaway! Right by a lake, close to the Fjord one can have all you need for a quiet vacation only with stress and adventure if you really seek for it. Only to be recommended. Berit and Roy are very nice and helpful hosts with a Good hand for what their guests need. Thanks so much for having us!

Joyful holidays in a beautyful location

Being for the first time in Norway we were lucky in many ways. We had the pleasure to meet Berit, Roy and their family, who recieved us with great kindness and were there for us, whenever needed. The cabin, in which we spent our 10 days, is as cosy as functional and in perfekt shape. We felt home from the first moment. It´s located nearby the "house-lake", in which we swam and fished every day. There is a little road to cross, seldom used and so no annoyance at all. The long, relaxed summerdays we spent by fishing, swimming, making trips to the nearby coast as well as to the Sognefjord (spectacular views on the way and there),where we enjoyed tasty fish in the brekkestranda Fjordhotel. The absence of electronic distraction was really relaxing and made us see and feel the beauty of the nature around us. I am very happy to have chosen this place and looking forward to return.

An amazing place to be!

For us it is the perfect combination - a not commonplace and obviously better way of life, a special luxury cabin for rest and relaxation, varied breathtaking landscapes and last but not least the most pleasant hosts we´ve found. Even if we ask our kids "What was the best at Norway?" they name this cabin - especially the hammock and the swing in the living room and the motorboat. We appreciated the personal recommendations from Roy for discovering the area. We also loved the way the house is decorated with so much love and care on details. Our kids did not miss any second a TV or a tablet or anything else digital to play with....they never asked for. They loved to make fire at the chimney and oven. They carved wood, played board games, rescued 2 little birds, drove bicycle, collected blueberries and wild strawberries. We went out for fishing and hiking....it was like adventure for beginners ;o)! We came back to the roots and we all enjoyed the time being together in a much more intense and special way. Thank you so much for giving these special cabin for rent and sharing this way of life. We will recommend this lovely place and if possible we would like to come back once. Greetings from Germany!

Erholsame Ferien mitten in der Natur

In dem sehr gemütlichen Haus lassen sich mit der ganzen Familie gut entspannende zwei Wochen verbringen. Mitten im Grünen gelegen und mit jeder Menge Outdoor-Aktivitäten drumherum findet sich für jeden etwas. Die Vermieter sind ausgesprochen nett und helfen bei allen Problemchen jederzeit weiter.

Ein Haus mit Herz

Das Ferienhaus ist sehr schön in Norwegen gelegen, viele Ausflüge sind von hier aus möglich. Das Ferienhaus selber ist sehr liebevoll eingerichtet, passend zu den Vermietern die einem immer mit Rat und Tat behilflich sind. Es ist ein kleines Abenteuer in der heutigen Zeit ohne viel Strom und fließend Wasser auszukommen, welches aber erstaunlich gut funktioniert und überhaupt nicht stört - im Gegenteil. Wir können das Ferienhaus wärmstens empfehlen.

Un séjour merveilleux en communion avec la nature

Des hôtes attentionnés et d'une grande gentillesse, une maison décorée avec grand soin, un jardin en pleine nature: un vrai retour aux sources! Tout est fait pour bien s'y sentir et apprécier la vie en famille: pas de TV, de wifi ou autre distraction. On apprend à passer du temps ensemble, tout simplement, à lire au coin du feu, à se balader ou pratiquer du sport (vélo, course) ou à pêcher sur le lac grâce au bateau mis à disposition. Un vrai régal! Mille mercis à nos hôtes.

It was great!

The house is beautiful and Berit and Roy are really making an effort to make arrival an experience. They are there when you call for help but if you don’t they leave you alone. Since there is only some solar power for lighting we barely used our mobiles (which was possible). And the kids started reading books! With the gas powered stove and fridge and the fireplace you really don’t miss anything. Using the pneumatic shower or the bucket from the river or the rain water is really part of the fun you start wondering why you are usually in need for so much water. We could have used the washing machine at Berit‘s Roy‘s home (10 min away) but we did not. We used the two boats that belong to the house one on the river and a motorized one on the fjord for fishing and fun. Since we brought our bikes we cycled the nearby roads through mountains, valleys and across islands. Landscape is really nice. The nearby supermarket is sufficient and at the equally far away school (15 min drive) we used the sports facilities. The stay was really great and we rearranged our living room thanks to the inspiring arrangements in the house. Thanks Berit and Roy.

Gran lugar de descanso y disfrute. Cálido y acogedor.

Ha sido una experiencia muy agradable... cuanta calma y tranquilidad. Hemos ido con una niña de 7 años y un niño de 4. Se lo han pasado en grande disfrutando del entorno, del aire libre y de la casa. Hemos podido disfrutar de muy buenos momentos en familia. La atención de Roy y Berit es inmejorable. Respetuosos y muy atentos a nuestras necesidades. Nos han proporcionado ayuda e información siempre que lo hemos necesitado. Son unos grandes anfitriones. Sin duda lo vamos a recordar como unas preciosas vacaciones.

Amazone Landscape and Nature

Berit and Roy are really nice people. They provided so much Services and advise besides the normal rental Business. The cabin is the best Place to calm down we have ever been to - it is really lovely. And we have lost our fear of the pump shower. After the first shower we have started to love it and now we already miss it. Actually we miss this cosy cabin, the amazing landscape and of course Berit & Roy. We definitely recommend this cabin. Enjoy it!

zurück zur Natur: entspannter Urlaub mit Blick für das Wesentliche im Leben

Wir haben zu fünft 7 wunderschöne Tage in diesem Haus verbringen dürfen. Das Haus ist sehr hübsch und mit Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet. Es ist alles Erforderliche vorhanden. Sehr schnell hatten wir uns an das Wasserkochen und die Biotoilette gewöhnt. Unser normaler Wasserverbrauch zu Hause kam sehr stark in unser Bewusstsein zurück ;-). Auch die Umgebung kann super per Boot oder per Fuß erkundet werden. Wir empfehlen die von Roy und Berit empfohlenen Wanderungen zu machen, der Ausblick ist es auf jeden Fall wert. Roy und Berit sind als Vermieter sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Sie sorgen dafür, dass man sich rundherum wohl fühlt. Besser geht es nicht. Vielen lieben dank nochmal.

Comfortable and charming, away from it all

Charming property, can see it is used as a family home so lovely touches to all the furnishings - try the indoor swing and hammock. Berit and Roy were lovely hosts, friendly and helpful from when we arrived to leaving. We used the rowing boat to fish on the lake by the cottage and Roy also took us to another lake and showed us how to use a little motor boat. Caught no fish but we enjoyed just pottering on the water just taking in the scenery. Definitely a place to stay to unwind. Weather wasn't great while we were there but it was nice to sit by the wood burning stove in the evening and just read for a change without the temptations of TV or internet. Fun to manage without the basics like no running water, but otherwise was fully furnished with all you need to self-cater. Was a lovely place to stay to start off our holiday in a relaxing way. Would definitely recommend a stay to experience something different, but agree you do need a car to explore the area.

lovely and charming cabin, wonderful nature

we can defintely recommend this stay, if you search for rest and "slow-it-down" in your vacation! we had wounderful 11 days in this cosy and charming cabin, which has everything you need, if you're satisfied with the basics and are able to give up the everyday luxury you're used to. This trip was an real excperience for all of us, showed us, what is really needed and made us forget the rest of the world for almost two weeks. The cabin itself is so beautiful and decorated with so much love, you feel home right with the first step you take in. Everything was well prepared for us and the host welcomed us freindly, showig us everything. They were available for us during the whole stay, answering questions, giving advice or giving nice tips for great trips, which will not be forgotten. Norway and it's breathtaking nature is all around the cabin and there is so much to see and experience. waterfalls, fjords, mountains and forests were all close and ready to be seen. we can totally recommend this stay for everyone who wants to relax and escape from the everyday stress, experience nature in its most beautiful. one advice: you definetly need a car if you want to see more of norway and all its attractions. calm down and feel home in this lovely place in the middle of nowhere!
