Words from happy guests

Clean and nice. We were very happy that there was a covered patio. The best part was the peace and quiet. We live in a big city with a lot of noise, so it was nice to experience the tranquility. Great ice cream at the ice cream shop at the harbor. Highly recommended!

Janni from Denmark

Stay for 5 adults

It was in a great location with lovely surroundings (a garden with plenty of places to sit outside when the weather was nice).

Inge Kjær from Denmark

Stay for 2 adults

The vacation home is set back from the road, nestled in the midst of beautiful countryside, on a small hill overlooking the sea. It truly exceeded our expectations. From the spacious living/dining room, you have a wonderful view of the natural surroundings on three sides.

Alexander from Germany

Stay for 2 adults

Everything was excellent—the house, the location, and the host were all top-notch! Everything went perfectly, and we had a wonderful time.

Timmi from Denmark

Stay for 2 adults and 2 children

The location right on the river is just as amazing as the house's architecture. No frills—just pure design and nature—awesome!

Anke from Germany

Stay for 2 adults and 1 pet

The cabin was really nice, with a beautiful view and just a short walk down to the Sjoa River for a refreshing swim.

Roar from Norway

Stay for 3 adults and 1 child

It was clean and well-appointed. It feels welcoming. A lovely, spacious room. A nice terrace with everything you need to enjoy the view and the tranquility of the countryside. The only thing missing was perhaps a coffee maker. But it’s possible to make coffee, as there’s a kettle, a thermos, and a coffee filter holder. Otherwise, it’s truly worth recommending. I’d definitely use it as a base again, even if it means driving a few extra kilometers.

Jan from Denmark

The vacation home was an absolute dream, both in terms of the house itself and its location
