Experience the charm of an authentic house from 1863, idyllically located on a sunny hill in Risør. The hosts call the house 'Skipperhuset'. This gem of a house is a little piece of southern idyll and a real treasure for those seeking a unique vacation experience. With its hidden location at the end of a cul-de-sac, this home offers a private oasis, just a stone's throw from the bustle of the city.
Inside, a warm and inviting atmosphere awaits, where a charming living room with piano and fireplace, a cozy dining room, an intimate TV room, a well-equipped kitchen and a practical bathroom with all the necessities can be found. The bedrooms on the second floor are designed to give you a peaceful night's sleep after the day's adventures.
The outdoor spaces invite relaxing moments under the open sky, from morning coffee on the terrace to afternoon wine overlooking the harbor. The garden blooms in the Southland sunshine, providing the perfect place for play and relaxation.
When adventure strikes, Risør's charming city center is just a staircase or a hill away. The town beckons with ice cream on the pier, the ferry to the island of "Lille Danmark" for swimming, and a taxi boat to Stangholmen lighthouse, with a concert arena and several restaurants. Explore the concert offerings, the white wooden houses, and the labyrinthine streets that form the perfect backdrop for memorable moments. Urheia, 12 minutes from the house, has great hiking trails and phenomenal viewpoints and also contains the remains of a large wartime fortress. Urheia also has swimming spots in the old drinking water pools. Bystranda in the new district of Holmen is superbly equipped for swimming and is child-friendly.

We love life in Risør, all year round, and the proximity our little skipper's house has to the harbor, the sea, the shops, and at the same time walking distance to the green gem Urheia, which is a fantastic place to walk, run and see the view out to the islands and the sea. The fact that the property has sun all day means that we enjoy early mornings on the veranda by the kitchen, sunbathing in the garden, or a glass of wine in the evening with a view of the harbor on the afternoon veranda.
