In the heart of the Fjella area lies this charming forest hut, a historic retreat that once housed forest workers. Here you can return to the simple life, far from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
The cabin has been carefully restored with respect for its history, with new windows and wooden roofs complimenting the original timber construction. The simple interior is characterized by natural materials and authentic details. The cabin is heated with wood from the wood shed, where you will also find the outhouse.
Outside the cabin, a pristine natural plot awaits where the morning dew caresses your bare feet. You can enjoy the sunset from the rocky outcrop, while Steinsvannet beckons with opportunities for both morning swims and leisurely rowing.
From Steinsborg you have access to an extensive network of hiking trails that stretch all the way to Ørje and Rakkestad. The area offers inviting bathing waters and cycle paths, and with only an hour's drive to Oslo or Fredrikstad, you can easily combine wilderness with city life.

Nature has always been my greatest inspiration, and that's why I've chosen to live here at the edge of the forest with my family. As the steward of Svarverudskogen, I feel a responsibility to share this natural gem with others. Steinsborg is my personal retreat when I need peace and quiet, and I notice how my shoulders drop as soon as I lock myself in the cabin.
