Embraced by the beautiful mountain landscape in Austbygde, you will find this charming log cabin that the hosts have named "Maurudstua". The cabin has a traditional, dark facade, reminiscent of a typical Norwegian mountain lodge. Here you can enjoy the fantastic view of Lake Tinnsjøen and Gaustatoppen. With a charming outdoor area with an elongated lawn, fruit trees and nearby forest trails, this cabin offers a cozy cabin atmosphere.
The traditional Norwegian cabin facade gives you just a taste of what to expect when you enter the cabin door. You'll find traditional wood-burning stoves, paintings and many small, traditional details. Note in particular the built-in bed in the living room, which is perhaps reminiscent of the traditional Norwegian folk tale "the seventh father in the house"? The traditional design choices bring a lot of charm into the cabin, without compromising on comfort as there is a toilet, shower and sauna inside the cabin.
The area around the cabin offers fantastic nature experiences all year round, such as endless walks and bike rides. In summer, you can walk to the waterfall in the forest by the cabin, and swim at the beach in Tinnsjøen where you can rent canoes and boats, and go fishing. In winter, the cabin is close to fantastic cross-country skiing trails in Skurvedalen, ice fishing on Tinnsjøen, and about 40 minutes from the magical Gaustatoppen ski resort. The cabin is a short distance from Rjukan, which offers tourist attractions such as Gaustatoppen where you can see one-sixth of mainland Norway, the Vemork industrial workers' museum, the Krossobanen cable car, Rjukan climbing park, and Rjukanbadet.
Ski resorts nearby: approx. 23 min to Veggli Ski and 47 min to Gausta Skisenter.

My name is Robert and I own this lovely cabin in Austbygdi. The cabin is a place I go to find peace, enjoy the view and the sun. The cabin is an old family place that my grandparents who were artists lived in, and is a place that means a lot to me. The cabin is characterized by the decorations and history of an artist's home. There are many family memories here, and the cabin has a wonderful atmosphere that just has to be experienced.
In the summer, I like to go hiking in Hardangervidda, which is 15 minutes away by car. The cabin is 1 minute away from a mountain seat where they serve homemade rømmegrøt. You can also go horseback riding in the countryside and meet animals such as rabbits, pigs, cows, goats and sheep.
The cabin consists of two log houses from the 1830s, "Maurudstua" and "Bjørnerudstua", which are built together with an intermediate building. You can rent Maurudstua, one of the cabins, which has everything you need for a fantastic cabin trip. When you rent Maurudstua, I will make sure not to rent out the other unit, leaving you alone on the property.
It's also possible to rent both units, which can accommodate up to 13 guests, through my other Landfolk profile. Just send me an inquiry and I will help you further. Welcome to the property!

Lovely, atmospheric cabin that I can only recommend to others. It is peaceful and quiet, and not least, it has a fantastic view. There is no big city life nearby, but there is plenty of beautiful nature, walking trails, and the opportunity to drive to Rjukan or Gaustatoppen, which are about 40 minutes away. We traveled with three children aged 2, 6, and 8
