Romantic cabin near water and history

We are a family of five living just 6 kilometers from our holiday home, Havtornhuset, in Tversted.

Morten is the director of a machine workshop in Hirtshals, and Liselotte is a foster mother to our 10-year-old boy.

We took over our lovely holiday home in November 2020 and have since spent the winter renovating it ourselves.

We have chosen to decorate it in a completely different way than our everyday home. Liselotte loves to decorate and we chose the old romantic style for the cottage. Most of the interior was bought at flea markets and second-hand shops, and buckets of white paint were used for the furniture and, not least, for the walls and ceilings in the house.

We put a lot of energy into finding the right things, gadgets and furniture for our beloved cottage. I love ceramics, old wine glasses and dinnerware. So there's plenty of that in the house.

We love being in the cottage and packing for walks in the area. There are many bunkers close to the cottage where you can go on guided tours in the summer. We enjoy the peace and quiet, but of course we also like to do small projects. Our cottage is always evolving as we are creative and get new ideas all the time.

In June 2021, a brand new hot tub with fiberglass insert was installed, which is super easy to use and not least enjoy a starry sky in the evening.

In addition to the many creative DIY projects, we often go out and visit the local area. Sørig Gl School is often on the route. Ceramicist Dorte Hansen is based here and she makes the most beautiful ceramics. You can buy her beautiful homemade cakes and enjoy them in her old garden. When we don't end up in Dorte's old garden, we head to the Gamle Minder shop where we find retro items for the summer house.
