Some places can only be experienced with your own eyes, and this cabin in Lofoten is one of them. The cabin is located high up on Gjermesøya with views of the mountains, sea and the fishing port of Ballstad, which can take most people's breath away. Here you can let your shoulders sink surrounded by beautiful natural materials and spectacular scenery.
The cabin is created with materials that reflect the raw and distinctive nature right outside the door. Here you can relax and enjoy the quality that runs throughout the cabin - from the rain shower in the bathroom to the well-equipped kitchen, where you can cook the fresh fish that came in that morning in Ballstad.
With two bedrooms on each floor, the cabin is perfect for a couple of friends or merged families. Snuggle up together around the dining table in the open-plan kitchen-living room, where the sloping ceiling gives a lovely, spacious feeling. Almost the entire facade of the cabin is made of glass, inviting the sky, the sea and Lofoten's majestic mountains into the living room. From the living room you can walk directly out onto the terrace, where you can enjoy the sun while the boats sail past.
Not far away, the lively fishing port of Ballstad awaits you, where you can watch several tons of cod being hauled ashore in the high season. Try your hand at sailing, go whale watching or go on a hike in the mountains where you can really enjoy the raw nature. If you're lucky, summer offers the unique midnight sun where the days never end, while in winter you can see the Northern Lights dancing in the night sky.

Experience the unparalleled beauty and raw nature this fishing village in Lofoten has to offer
My husband and I are both in our late 60s and bought this gem of a cabin 2 years ago. We love being here and really recharging our batteries, walking in the mountains and enjoying nature. We always invite guests to the cabin and often have the grandchildren stay over and they love being here.
We live in Lofoten ourselves, and when we're at the cabin we stay in the local area. There are lots of nice places to eat here, but we also like to cook our own food in the cabin's well-equipped kitchen. Sometimes we cook on the campfire outside and enjoy the meal in the unique surroundings.
The location is one of the most spectacular you can imagine. Ballstad is one of Lofoten's most active fishing ports, and it's busy in winter when Lofoten fishing is at its peak. It's an incredible sight when countless tons of cod are pulled ashore. Gjermesøya isn't very big, but there's plenty of space outside, which is perfect for those with children on their trip to Lofoten. There's also a breakwater, where you can stand and fish.
