Amidst the treetops of Storesand, lies this beautiful architect-designed cabin. Built to capture the unique character of the place, right in the middle of the beautiful nature reserve, the cabin encourages tranquillity and immersion with its clean, architectural lines. Here you can lose yourself in the magnificent views of the sea and the primeval forest that surrounds you.
The cabin stands on stilts about three meters above the ground, so you get a unique feeling of sitting in the top of the trees while all the light wood in the cabin gives you a feeling of being one with the forest, even when you're inside. The carpenter-built kitchen offers plenty of opportunity to conjure up family favorites, while the large terrace allows you to enjoy not only good meals and good company, but also the silence and views of sea, forest and sky.
The large bedroom in the cabin is completely unique, with huge windows that allow you to lie under the duvet and look out over the 1,000-year-old primeval forest, the boat traffic towards Fredrikstad and the clear starry sky that gives you the feeling of symbiosis between the cabin and Storesand's magnificent nature.
Storesand and Hvaler are places that are perfect to explore both on land and at sea. Go island hopping in the Oslofjord or follow the coastal path through a varied landscape with everything from wild nature to works of art and medieval churches. If you're in need of some city life, take a trip to Skjærhalden town center, where you'll find restaurants, shops and the pleasant guest harbor.

We appreciate good food experiences and good wine. We are bon vivants who are keen on good conversation and all the good things life has to offer. Life at the cabin means a lot to us. Here we find a peace and quiet that you don't get in the city. We enjoy the silence among the treetops and the view of the forest, sea and sky.
The plot was hand-picked by my great-grandfather in the early 1950s, and ever since then the cabin has been the gathering place for our family. We completely renovated the cabin in 2018 and chose architect Stein Halvorsen, who himself has a cabin on Hvaler. "We wanted an architect who could capture all the uniqueness that the place has to offer. As Stein says, it's a mixture of being on the African savannah and sitting in a treetop looking out over sea and forest.
We like to visit the "center" of Skjærhalden, which has many good restaurants, and we often visit the coastal path, which has great routes past, among other things, beautiful works of art along the cliffs. We also recommend that you make your way past Arekilen, which, with its unique bird life, is a fantastic place to go hiking. You can also go island hopping on the public boat routes, a taxi boat or the Strømstad ferry, which is a great way to get to Strømstad's beautiful marina.
