Get to know this charming log cabin, which stands out in its unique location, away from the usual cabin areas and embraced by over 9 acres of private forest. It tempts with panoramic views from the veranda and a short walk to Lake Mjøsa for a refreshing swim. The cottage has been carefully renovated but retains its authentic 1938 charm, with a subtle balance between old and new.
Inside, all furniture and rooms have been updated but retain their historic style. The barn walls have been refurbished, but still retain their original charm. Every detail reflects a modern comfort combined with the genuine feeling of timeless elegance.
With over 9 acres of greenery and forest, you'll discover a wealth of outdoor activities on your doorstep. From darts and badminton to vegetable gardens and outdoor showers, there's always a new experience to explore. Add in elements like the fire pit and barbecue and you have all the ingredients for unforgettable moments in nature.
Around the cabin you'll find a rich variety of activities and sights. You can hike along Pilegrimsvegen to Tangen marina, enjoy a pizza at the campsite, or visit Tangen Dyrepark. Lake Mjøsa is also known for its kayaking activities, and for the more adventurous, the climbing park at Domkirkeodden in Hamar is a must. Ankerskogen's spa is also an attractive option for a relaxing day.

Enjoy the quiet and secluded location with panoramic views of Lake Mjøsa
Explore the extensive network of hiking trails in the forest and mountains
Short walking distance to beaches and piers along Mjøsa
Laftehytta was built in 1938 and bought by my grandmother in 1956. Today, my two adult children, Vilde and Eddie, and I "run" the renovation of both the building and the old furniture, and maintain 9.3 acres of garden and forest. What we love is the combination of space for many guests, inside and out, that the cabin is secluded in the forest - free from view from neighbors, and all our outdoor activities, such as darts, badminton, vegetable garden, outdoor shower, fireplace, barbecue etc. But, the panoramic view and walking distance to the beaches along Mjøsa, the nostalgia combined with today's comfort and the glass veranda on a gray day are the highlights. As well as the short travel distance from Oslo and Oslo Airport Gardermoen, and the proximity to Hamar.
