On the shores of Gjevilvatnet lake in Oppdal, you'll find this charming log cabin. The classic main house of the cabin yard has everything you need to take your small family or group of friends on an unforgettable cabin trip at any time of year. The cabin, with logs and grass on the roof, creates a special atmosphere and makes it a natural part of the surroundings.

The traditional Norwegian cabin atmosphere follows you into the main house, where the log materials are also prominent. Here, the original wood color has been preserved, creating a warm and cozy atmosphere. The fine windows with small, cute curtains bring in beautiful light and complement the rest of the traditional décor. Enjoy late evenings together in the living room and let the warmth of the large fireplace embrace you as you let the peace and quiet sink in.

Outside the cottage, you can enjoy breakfast in the morning sun, sunbathe by the cottage wall and barbecue in the evening sun. In summer, you can look out over a small lake with waking fish, to a few older farmhouses and grazing animals. Cool off in the outdoor hot tub, or let the heat and bubbles massage your stiff muscles after a day's hike in nature. In winter, you can enjoy the starry sky, perhaps see the full moon and glimpse the Northern Lights from the warming bath. (The hot tub can only be rented on request and costs NOK 500 per time).

The area offers many great nature experiences all year round, making the cabin the perfect destination whatever the season. Oppdal is a skier's paradise for those who love to feel a sense of accomplishment, and the rest of the year you can go on forest and mountain hikes, try your hand at rafting, climbing and cycling or experience a musk ox safari. In Gjevilvatnet, which is right below the cabin, you can swim, fish and go boating. The cabin has a canoe, kayak and rowing boat you can use, so there are plenty of opportunities to explore the beautiful water. Gjevilvasshytta is located near the cabin, and is a cozy place where you can buy freshly baked waffles and ice cream.

Ski resorts nearby: approx. 14 min to Oppdal Ski Center.

Highlights from Dagfinn

Host since April 2023

  • Let the cozy cabin atmosphere, with log walls and traditional design choices, embrace you
  • Enjoy late nights in each other's company and let the fireplace be a cozy gathering point
  • Explore the local area on foot or by water, and end the day in nature in the outdoor hot tub (available on request)

My name is Dagfinn, and this fantastic log cabin means a lot to me. The cabin is filled with history and several generations of holiday joy, and I look forward to guests experiencing this atmosphere.

The log cabin consists of three accommodation units, which I rent out together, or the main house on its own, where there is room for six people. The yard has been in development since the first part was built in 1962, and since then the main cabin has been expanded and we've added a storehouse.

When I'm at the cabin, I like to sit in the hot tub and look up at the starry sky, enjoy the light from the full moon and occasionally glimpse the Northern Lights if I'm lucky. Here at the log cabin, I experience peace of mind and would like to share the same feeling with my guests. You are welcome!

If you would like to use the hot tub, please send me an inquiry. It costs 500 NOK per time.
