Some places just have to be experienced with your own eyes, and this cabin in Lofoten is one of them. The cabin is situated high on Gjermesøya with a view of the mountains, the sea and the fishing harbor Ballstad, which can take most people's breath away. Here you can relax your shoulders 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 is reflected throughout the cabin - from the rain shower in the bathroom to the well-equipped kitchen, where you can cook the fresh fish that arrived that morning in Ballstad.
With two bedrooms on each floor, the cottage is perfect for couples or combined families. Enjoy yourself around the dining table in the open kitchen-living room, where the sloping ceiling gives a lovely, spacious feeling. Almost the entire facade of the cabin is made of glass, which means that the sky, the sea and Lofoten's majestic mountains are invited into the living room. From the living room you can go directly out onto the terrace, where you can enjoy the sun while the boats sail by.
Not far away awaits the lively fishing harbor in Ballstad, where you can see several tonnes of cod being hauled ashore in high season. Try your hand at sailing, go on a whale watching trip or go on a mountain tour 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 unique beauty and raw nature that this fishing village in Lofoten has to offer
My husband and I are both in our late 60's and bought this gem of a cottage 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 overnight, and they love being here.
We live in Lofoten ourselves, and when we are 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 fire pan outside, and enjoy the meal out in the middle of 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 here it is busy in the winter when Lofoten fishing is really in high season. It is an incredible sight when countless tons of cod are pulled ashore. Gjermesøya is not that big, but you have a lot of space outside, which is perfect for those who bring children with them on their trip to Lofoten. There is also a breakwater, where you can stand and fish.
