Rustic off-grid cabin in Vestmarka, Norway

This simple, rustic cabin in Vestmarka, Våler, is the perfect place to leave the hustle and bustle of everyday life behind. With no electricity or running water, the experience's truly authentic: you fetch water from a water tap 100 metres away, light comes from a solar panel system, and heat comes from a wood-burning stove.

The cabin features an open-plan living room and kitchen, two bedrooms, and an outhouse. You'll cook on a gas stove and heat the cabin with firewood. We provide duvets and pillows—please bring your own bedding, or rent it for 150 DKK per set when booking.

In the summer, you can use an outdoor shower, which you heat and set up yourself. Toterudtjernet and Eidsmangen are nearby and offer opportunities for swimming. In the winter, the ski trails are just 100 metres away, providing access to Blåenga and Vestmarka.

The area offers hiking trails and fishing opportunities in the nearby lakes. Blåenga and Svennebysætra are popular hiking routes—contact the host for a description. Våler, with its grocery store, is 12 km away, and the NAF Vålerbanen traffic centre is 15 km from the cabin. Oslo's about two hours away.
