At an altitude of 839 meters in Samastad, you will find a rare gem where authentic Norwegian mountain farming culture still thrives. Here you can stay in the middle of a living cultural landscape that was recently added to UNESCO's list of intangible cultural heritage, with active mountain farming right outside your windows.
The 50 m² cabin offers three bedrooms and a cozy living room with a fireplace. The partially open kitchen leads out to a covered terrace where you can enjoy the evening sun. The interior is simple but comfortable, with 12V electricity and a composting toilet reminiscent of the down-to-earth lifestyle.
From the private terrace, you have a view of the mountain landscape, and the area around the cabin offers space for both peace and activity. Here you can spend long summer days picking blueberries, listening to the bells of grazing animals, or just breathing in the fresh mountain air.
With Samastad as your base, you have endless opportunities for nature experiences. The area offers a network of hiking trails, several fishing lakes and great swimming opportunities. From mid-May to mid-October, you can experience the mountains at their most vibrant, with mountain farming and bustling wildlife.

I am a 70-year-old guy with a great passion for birds and outdoor life. I work in construction and, although I live in Arendal, I know the area well. With my language skills in Danish, English, Norwegian, and Swedish, I do my best to give all guests a memorable experience of the Norwegian mountains.
