You wake up to a view of Bandak, one of Norway's deepest lakes, where mirror-like water meets steep mountain sides. The cabin is beautifully situated by the Telemark Canal in the lush Lårdal valley, with a private beach and jetty just a few steps away. Here you can wave to the historic steamboat that sails past every morning.
Inside the cabin, you will find a home decorated with love. Old furniture and art tell stories from generations past, while handmade carpentry details and thoughtful solutions create warm rooms. The annex has its own "blue room" with direct access to the beach.
The garden is a lush paradise with flowers, fruits, and berries. By the stream, you will find the most beautiful spot in the garden, where the scent of lavender mingles with the sound of trickling water. Seating on all sides of the cabin provides long sun exposure and shelter from the wind.
Lårdal offers everything from the Lårdalsstigen trail 800 meters above the canal to a sauna by the water's edge and marked trails in the fairytale forest. You can cycle down to the Dalen Hotel from 1893, fish in Bandak or Laugevatn, or explore the Vest-Telemark Museum. In winter, the NM trails in Høydalsmo are 20 minutes away, and Rauland Ski Center is 50 minutes away.

We are Anne and Halvor with two teenagers and a little one on the way. Lårdal is my childhood paradise, where I grew up with my grandmother's old treasures and love of nature and beautiful things. Halvor has spent ten years on carpentry projects here, and I often potter about in the garden. For us, this is a sanctuary for peace and quiet and great nature experiences, while the children love playing in the water and fishing.
