Island cabin in Tvedestrand archipelago, hot tub

This cabin's on a small island in the Tvedestrand archipelago—with no road or ferry connection. You can swim from the islets and the beach, catch crabs and lobsters, or row around the archipelago. In winter, the island's quiet and peaceful, and you can enjoy the tranquillity far from other people.

Inside the living room stands a small grand piano that they transported here by helicopter. The cabin has a loft where the children can retreat and play. The bedroom, bathroom, and living area provide space for the family, and there’s plenty of room to gather indoors.

Outside the cabin, there's a deck with a view of the water. Here, you can relax while harbour seals, seabirds, buzzards and bald eagles go about their business in the archipelago. The island itself is small, but it offers direct access to the sea.

You can reach the neighbouring island by rowboat or motorboat, and it's got beautiful hiking trails with views of the strait. Lyngør, named Europe’s best-preserved village, is a short boat ride away and features a grocery store (open daily) and restaurants open during the summer months. Sandøya is also nearby, with shops and restaurants open year-round.
