From this secluded cabin, you can enjoy a truly special view of Juvatn, with the sunrise coloring the sky from both the bedroom and living room. Here, far from the noise and light pollution of the city, an authentic mountain experience with rich fauna awaits right outside your door.
The cabin is simply but comfortably furnished, with a focus on the essentials. The open floor plan allows you to enjoy the panoramic view from all living areas, and the high-quality music system creates the perfect atmosphere for quiet evenings. There is a simple toilet inside the cabin that is not connected to a pipe system, and an outdoor toilet connected to the cabin right next door. You walk straight out a door and follow a covered roof that leads to a small shed – from here you have direct access to a toilet room. This solution provides good protection from the weather and contributes to the authentic cabin experience in beautiful natural surroundings.
From the private location, you have direct access to nature, where you can observe everything from foxes and deer to large birds. The property is sheltered, yet only 250 meters from the parking lot, making it easy to get to and from. Bortelid is a family-friendly mountain area in Åseral, in the middle of the beautiful Setesdal mountains, easily accessible from both southern Norway and abroad. From Kristiansand, where the ferries from Denmark arrive, it takes less than 2 hours by car.
The area offers a variety of activities all year round. In summer and autumn, you can swim at Rundatjønn, just five minutes away, or go canoeing on Juvatner. The area also offers great hiking, biking, berry and mushroom picking, fishing, and swimming in clear mountain waters. In winter, Bortelid offers great conditions for skiing, with miles of groomed cross-country trails in varied terrain and a modern alpine center.

We are a small family who have found our own oasis here in the mountains. Here we experience nature and the seasons up close, and it is precisely this closeness to nature, the tranquility, and the simple pleasures that have made this our special retreat. We want to share this unique experience with others who appreciate a slower pace of life.
