In the heart of beautiful Evje you'll find this gem of a cottage, which gives you the feeling of stepping into a true Norwegian folk tale - with hints of modern luxury. Logs, small-paned windows, beamed ceilings and raw log walls give a warm, homely sense of tradition, which combined with modern details, beautiful views and abundant wildlife in the area make this a real dream cabin. Here, friends, family and four-legged friends can enjoy cabin life together.

There are countless hiking opportunities in the area around the cabin, and there really is something for everyone, regardless of age and interests. For those who like excitement, there's climbing, rafting, cycling and paintball, which is the perfect contrast to the relaxing cabin life of fishing, hiking, cross-country skiing, swimming and walks in the forest. On the terrace, you can sink into the deep wicker furniture and enjoy both the view and the warmth of the outdoor fireplace, or let tired muscles enjoy a hot bubble bath with a glass of something nice.

After a day of exciting activities, you can leave your clothes and equipment in the spacious hallway and storage room, where you'll also find skis and toboggan boards. In the modern kitchen, you can cook dinner together and enjoy it around the large, beautiful French oak long table. The fireplace is the living room's natural gathering point, and the large windows invite both the view and the beautiful light into the room, which is optimized for intimacy.

The living room also features a traditional, authentic daybed built into the wall. This is a throwback to the days of the storehouse, where both children and adults can curl up with a good book or take a nap. The TV room provides an opportunity to retreat and relax, while the living room is where you gather for games, good conversations and cozy get-togethers. This is a cabin where every last detail has been thought of, something you can't help but want to experience.

Ski in/ski out: Cross-country ski trails right outside the cabin.

Ski resorts nearby: 21 min to Trollbakken Ski resort.

We are a married couple aged 37 and 38, with two boys. Owning our own cabin has been our dream for a long time, and by coincidence we had a babysitter the same day there was a viewing of what turned out to be our dream cabin. In Kristiansand, we live in a dense neighborhood, so the opportunity to drive a short distance to a cabin where we can walk right out the door and be in nature was very tempting.

We knew that being able to enjoy perfect skiing conditions, hiking in the forest, fishing, seeing and taking pictures of birds, swimming, picking berries and seeing moose was going to be a perfect fit, but when we walked into the cabin and saw the woodwork and all the details, we both fell in love immediately. We are detail-oriented, and things like lighting, the ability to enjoy music in multiple rooms, remote control of heating to start the cabin trip optimally - are just some of the things we have invested in to enhance the comfort and experience, both ours and our guests'.

Our children, like most children, love iPads, the internet and TV. By removing the TV as the centerpiece of the living room, we get the opportunity to play board games or do things together, such as collecting wood, gathering sticks for the fire, picking berries, just by going out on the slippers. Our 8-year-old son has quickly learned to become a skilled skier, caught his first fish, lit a fire, recognizes birds by their songs and many other things you don't do in the city, which is exactly what gives us the most pleasure from being at our cabin.
