Architect-designed cabin near Hillestadheia

The first thing you’ll notice when you arrive is the silence. There’s no traffic noise here, just peace and quiet, fresh mountain air and a sky full of stars. With no light pollution, the night sky is so clear you’ll forget to go inside. If you’re lucky, the northern lights will dance above the roof.

The holiday home was designed by an architect and built with high-quality materials. There’s plenty of room for everyone, with bedrooms and a loft living room in a separate area. In the living room, you’ll find a cosy reading nook and a fireplace that crackles when the weather turns wild. The kitchen is well equipped for long, leisurely cooking sessions together.

The secluded terrace is perfect for sunbathing and long evenings. You can relax here without seeing anyone else. After your hike, the sauna awaits, with a door leading straight outside from the bathroom. Warm up properly, then jump into the snow for a refreshing cool-down.

Napen is just a few kilometres away and offers fantastic views across the landscape. Gaukåsen is an easy 3.5 km circular walk that’s well suited to children. In winter, Hillestadheia is one of the most snow-sure areas in Agder, with 25–30 km of groomed ski trails through the forest and over mountain peaks.
