5-Bed Lakeside Chalet by Lomtjønn with Hot Tub, Garden Room & Annex – Hovin i Telemark

Stand on the terrace at Bjønndalsåsen 46 on a clear October morning, coffee in hand, and the whole of Drammensfjorden stretches out below you — silver-grey water, pine-covered ridges on the far bank, the occasional ferry cutting a white line across the surface. This is the view that greets you every single day from this hillside chalet in Spikkestad, a property locally known by its old name, Kvilestova — which loosely translates to "the resting place." Fitting doesn't even begin to cover it. Spikkestad sits in Røyken municipality, tucked between Asker and Drammen in a way that feels genuinely removed from both, even though neither is far. The train station is seven minutes by car, which puts Oslo S roughly forty minutes from your front door on the L14 line — close enough for a day trip into the city, far enough that you never feel the city's pull on a lazy Sunday. This particular corner of the hillside, the Ovnerudåsen area, is quiet in the way that only lightly settled Norwegian countryside can be: a handful of holiday cabins, a few year-round residents, and a lot of trees. The property is built on two separate parcels totalling just over 3,200 square metres of natural plot — not manicured garden, but actual Norwegian terrain with rock outcrops, mature birch and pine, and the kind of ground that smells of damp earth and forest after rain. The main cabin dates from 1964 and covers 83 square metres in total, with 61 square metres of internal living space and another 22 square metres of practical external area. A second, smaller cabin sits on the plot as well, giving you options: overflow accommodation for guests, a separate creative studio, or simply storage and workshop space while you plan a longer renovation.

Step outside on a February morning at Søre Blevegen 892 and the world is dead quiet except for the crunch of fresh snow underfoot and the faint hiss of wind threading through the birch trees. The groomed ski trail is literally a hundred meters from the front door. You could be out on Blefjell's tracks with coffee still warm in your stomach before most people have found their ski boots. That kind of immediacy — that closeness to the mountain — is what makes this place genuinely different from the hundreds of Norwegian cabins that claim to be "near" the slopes. This is a real, traditional hytte. Pine floors worn smooth in the right places. Ceiling beams you actually notice. A brick chimney that anchors the main room with a wood-burning stove on one side and an open fireplace on the other — which means on a January evening, the cabin is throwing heat from two directions while you peel off your ski layers and figure out what to cook. The walls are timber-paneled in that specifically Norwegian way that somehow manages to feel both rustic and completely comfortable. It's not a renovation project. It's a working cabin in good condition, ready to use from the first weekend. The open-plan kitchen and living area is the heart of the place. The kitchen has custom-built cabinets and a newer countertop, practical without being fussy. The layout means whoever's cooking doesn't miss out on the conversation happening around the fire — a small thing that makes a real difference when you're up here with family or a group of friends after a long day on the trails. Both bedrooms carry the same honest aesthetic: pine floors, paneled walls, built-in shelving. Nothing pretentious. Just two rooms that do the job well and feel warm when the te ... click here to read more

You wake up to the sound of nothing. That particular, weightless silence that only exists at 843 meters above sea level, where the air coming through the window tastes faintly of pine resin and lake water. Sjøsetervatnet sits just beyond the treeline, its surface catching the early light in long, flat stripes. The coffee is on the gas stove. The mountains haven't gone anywhere overnight. This is life at Sjøsetervegen 16 in Svingvoll — a 1946 Norwegian mountain chalet that has been quietly doing its job for nearly eight decades. Two bedrooms, 72 square meters of honest, unpretentious cabin living, and a 1,051-square-meter plot with a traditional stabbur, a courtyard, and an 11-square-meter south-facing terrace where the afternoon sun lingers long into the evening in summer. The cabin reads like a love letter to classic Norwegian hyttekultur. Pine floors worn smooth by generations of ski boots. Exposed log walls the color of dark honey. Wooden paneling that somehow manages to feel both old and alive at the same time. The living room fireplace is the kind that earns its keep — you feel its heat on your face from across the room, and the double balcony doors frame Sjøsetervatnet and the Skeikampen ridgeline like a painting that never repeats itself twice. The kitchen has profiled wooden cabinetry, a solid wood countertop, and a Smeg gas stove that works whether the power flickers or not. The water supply runs from a neighboring well during summer — off-grid in the best tradition of mountain cabins, not as a compromise but as a feature. The two bedrooms are generous for a chalet this age. The master, accessible from both the dining room and living room, fits a proper double bed and real furniture. The second bedroom has a ... click here to read more

Picture this: a Saturday morning in January, snow sitting heavy on the pine branches just outside the kitchen window, the wood stove already crackling from the night before, and the smell of coffee drifting through a cabin that actually feels like yours. That's Togstadvegen 928 in Skogbygda. Not a hotel. Not a rental. A place where you drop your bags, exhale, and stop checking the time. Skogbygda sits in Nes municipality, Viken county, tucked into a landscape that Norwegians have been quietly escaping to for generations. The name itself — "forest village" — tells you what you're getting. Rolling terrain, dense spruce forest, clean air, and the kind of stillness that's genuinely hard to find anywhere within an hour of a capital city. And Oslo is exactly that: under an hour by car, roughly 60 kilometres south via the E6. Jessheim, the closest proper town with a full range of shops, restaurants, and a railway station, is about 33 minutes by car. A bus stop is a six-minute walk from the front door. For a cabin in the Norwegian countryside, this is an unusually well-connected address. The chalet itself was built in 1960 and sits on a freehold plot of 746 square metres — generous enough for serious outdoor living. The interior spans 56 square metres of living space with a total usable area, including the enclosed winter garden, reaching 116 square metres. In good condition throughout, the property has been updated thoughtfully rather than stripped of its character. The kitchen was renovated in 2018 and fitted with solid wood countertops and proper cabinetry that actually has room to cook in — a detail that matters when you're preparing a big Sunday meal after a morning on the trails. The bathroom followed in 2023 with a full ... click here to read more

Wake up on a Saturday morning in late June, the kind where the Norwegian sun has already been up for hours before you, and the light coming through the pine trees hits the veranda at an angle that makes the whole forest glow amber. The coffee's on the wood-topped counter inside. Somewhere out on Vanebuvann, a loon calls. You're 274 metres above sea level, 12 kilometres from the nearest town centre, and absolutely nowhere near the city. This is what you bought it for. Built in 2002 and sitting on a 996-square-metre natural plot at Vanebuveien 31 in Siljan, Telemark, this two-bedroom chalet is the kind of Norwegian cabin that serious buyers look for and rarely find at this price point. It's in good condition, genuinely move-in ready, and priced at 132,000 EUR — which, for a lakeside vacation home in Norway with this much outdoor infrastructure, represents real value in a market where waterfront cabins sell fast and hold their worth. The structure itself is honest Norwegian vernacular. Pine floors, pine-panelled walls, low exposed ceilings in the loft space — nothing is pretending to be something it isn't. The living room opens generously, high-ceilinged and light-filled, with windows framing tree cover and sky. A closed fireplace anchors the room for the colder months, and you'll use it: autumn in Telemark comes with cold mornings even when the afternoons are warm, and there's a particular pleasure in lighting a fire at 7am before anyone else is up. The open-plan kitchen runs directly off the living space, fitted with profiled pine cabinetry and a solid wood countertop. Functional, warm, completely in character. A mezzanine loft sits above via a short ladder — low-ceilinged and not classified for habitation, but perfect ... click here to read more

Step onto the west-facing terrace at Bråtåvegen 1018 on a late August afternoon and you'll understand immediately why people have been coming to Bråtådalen for generations. The sun drops toward the ridgeline at a slow, golden angle, the Otta river hums somewhere below the tree line, and the peaks of Breheimen National Park just sit there — immense, unhurried, completely indifferent to the modern world. It's the kind of quiet that actually works on you. Give it ten minutes and your shoulders drop two inches. This is a 1942 timber chalet in proper Norwegian cabin tradition — turf roof, original log walls, a soapstone stove that holds heat long after the fire's gone out. Built the year Norway was still under occupation, it has outlasted a lot. At 67 square metres on a 2,033-square-metre plot in Nordberg, Skjåk municipality, the footprint is intimate but the land around it gives you room to breathe, and then some. It's listed in good condition, which in a cabin this age means the important things have been properly cared for. Inside, there are two separate living spaces — an arrangement that works better than it sounds. The first has the fireplace with a closed combustion chamber, efficient and clean-burning, with those original log walls left as they were. No paint, no cladding, just the timber. The second living room holds the soapstone stove and connects directly to the TV lounge, a separate nook that becomes the natural gravitational centre on rainy evenings. Rain in Bråtådalen is not something you dread — it softens the valley, makes the grass hyper-green, fills the air with the smell of wet spruce. The kitchen runs on solid pine cabinetry, built to last rather than to impress, with a proper range hood and room enoug ... click here to read more

Step out onto the wraparound terrace on a clear September morning, coffee in hand, and you'll understand immediately why the previous owner never sold this place for nearly two decades. The forest below Bråtåhøgda rolls out in shades of amber and rust, the air carries that particular Norwegian crispness that wakes you up better than any alarm, and the only sounds are wind through spruce tops and the occasional woodpecker going about its work. This is life at 364 meters above sea level in Nord-Odal — unhurried, genuinely quiet, and about as far from a screen as you can get without leaving civilization entirely. Bråtåhøgda 43 is a solid three-bedroom chalet built in 2005, held by a single owner from day one, and maintained with the kind of quiet diligence that shows in every corner. The walls don't flex, the roof doesn't leak, the stove draws cleanly. It's move-in ready in the truest sense — not estate-agent-speak for "needs work," but actually ready: furniture arrangements already thought through, wood stacked in the shed, heat pump humming. For buyers looking at Norwegian holiday properties, that combination of age, single ownership, and consistent care is rarer than it sounds. Inside, the 57 square meters are used honestly. The open-plan living room and kitchen flow together without feeling cramped — there's room for a proper dining table where six people can eat without elbowing each other, plus a sofa arrangement that actually fits adults watching the embers die in the wood-burning stove. Norwegian cabin design has always prioritized function over ornament, and this one follows that tradition without being spartan. Three bedrooms handle a family or a group of friends with reasonable privacy; a shower room and a sepa ... click here to read more

Step outside on a February morning and the only sound is the creak of fresh snow under your boots. The ski track is 900 meters away. Lake Aursunden glitters through the birch trees at the bottom of the slope. The thermometer reads minus twelve, but inside the cabin, the wood-burning stove has been going since seven, and the whole place smells of birch smoke and coffee. This is what you came to Norway for. Damvoktarveien 46 sits in the Kuråsen cabin area just outside Glåmos, a small rail village in the Røros region of eastern Norway. The plot runs to 2,373 square meters of freehold land — proper freehold, not the leasehold arrangements you'll encounter elsewhere in the Norwegian leisure market — and the terrain around it is the kind of low-maintenance Nordic wild that practically takes care of itself. Cloudberries and blueberries grow on the property in late summer. You don't plant them. They've always been there. The chalet itself was built in 1981 and extended in 1997, sitting at roughly 720 meters above sea level. That elevation matters. It's the reason winters here are reliably snowy, properly snowy, and why the air in July feels like nothing you've breathed in a city. The main living area comes to 62 square meters inside, with another 15 square meters of covered external space and a 39-square-meter terrace that catches the afternoon light. There's also a 12-square-meter outbuilding for storage, ski gear, or the tools you'll accumulate over the first couple of summers. Inside, the layout makes practical sense for a group. The entrance vestibule keeps the cold out, the kitchen sits directly off the dining area so meals flow without awkwardness, and the living room has large windows facing the landscape — not a wall, ... click here to read more

The first thing you notice, standing on the main terrace at Sandvikvegen 320, is the silence — or rather, what fills it. The soft lap of the Åsenfjord against the rocks below. A gull coasting past at eye level. The distant hum of a wooden boat heading out toward open water. It's the kind of quiet that takes a few hours to fully sink into, and once it does, the idea of leaving becomes genuinely difficult. This is a proper Norwegian coastal chalet on Skarpøya, the small island-like peninsula that juts into the Åsenfjord in Trøndelag. The address is Sandvikvegen 320, and at 141,593 EUR, it's one of those rare finds that makes you question why you haven't been looking at the Norwegian fjord coast sooner. The chalet sits right at the water's edge. Not "close to the water" in the estate agent sense — actually at the edge, where you can step off the lower terrace directly onto the rocks and into the fjord. A mooring buoy comes with the property, so your boat is always ready. There's a communal boat launch nearby for trailer boats, meaning whether you keep a RIB, a small wooden skiff, or something with a bit more engine to it, you're sorted. Summer mornings here often start the same way: coffee on the terrace, watching the light come across the fjord from the east, then a decision about whether to fish the shallows near Skarpøya or motor out toward Stjørdalsfjorden. The chalet itself is 54 square metres across three bedrooms, which sounds compact until you factor in the annex — additional sleeping space that makes hosting a family gathering or a group of friends entirely comfortable. Three generations under one roof is perfectly manageable here. The living room and kitchen share an open-plan space of 30 square metres, with la ... click here to read more

Step outside on a February morning and the ski trail is literally 100 meters from your front door. No loading the car, no fighting for parking at the base lodge. Just boots on, poles in hand, and you're gone into 70 kilometers of groomed cross-country tracks that wind through some of Western Norway's most raw and open terrain. That's the daily reality at Byrkjesetevegen 272 — a four-bedroom Norwegian mountain chalet sitting at 464 meters above sea level in Kvamskogen, one of the Hordaland region's most established and beloved cabin communities. Kvamskogen sits roughly 35 kilometers inland from Norheimsund, the small town on the southern shore of Hardangerfjord. The drive up from the fjord takes about 40 minutes on winding mountain roads that, honestly, are half the experience — in autumn, the birch trees along the switchbacks go a shade of gold that stops you cold. Bergen, Norway's second city, is around 90 kilometers away and reachable in under two hours, making this a realistic weekend escape from the city as well as a proper base for international visitors flying into Bergen Airport Flesland. The chalet itself was originally built in 1967, but don't let that date mislead you. Extensions were added in 1992 and 2002, and the kitchen was completely renovated in 2021. The bones are solid and the upgrades are real. At 67 square meters of internal living space on a freehold plot of approximately 3,238 square meters, this is not a cramped mountain box — it's a proper family retreat with room to breathe both inside and out. Inside, the open-plan living room and kitchen is the heart of the place. The 2021 kitchen renovation brought in contemporary black profiled fronts, integrated appliances, and enough counter space to act ... click here to read more

Step outside on a July morning and the air hits you first — cool, pine-sharp, carrying just a trace of salt from the fjord that sits a hundred meters down the path. The water is flat, almost impossibly still, and somewhere across the inlet Fusafjellet catches the early sun. This is Fusa, and this four-bedroom chalet on Strandvikvegen is the kind of place that quietly rearranges your priorities. Fusa sits in Bjørnafjorden municipality, roughly 40 kilometers south of Bergen as the crow flies — close enough that you can reach the city by ferry in just over an hour, far enough that the pace here is something else entirely. The community has a genuinely local rhythm: the fish counter at Spar in Eikelandsosen, the trails up Fusafjellet where the views stretch clear to the coast on a good day, the tiny harbor where people still keep rowing boats alongside their motorcraft. It's the real Norway, not the postcard version. The chalet itself measures 83 square meters of interior living space, with a total usable footprint of 143 square meters once you factor in the 30-square-meter basement and the 19-square-meter outbuilding. The property is in good condition — no major renovation project waiting for you, just the pleasure of arriving and settling in. Large windows across the main living area pull the outside in. On grey autumn days, when the fjord turns pewter and the mountains disappear into low cloud, those windows frame something almost cinematic. On clear winter evenings, you light the fireplace and the room does exactly what a Norwegian cabin room should do. The kitchen comes fitted with profiled cabinet fronts and a solid wood countertop — honest materials, built to last. The open-plan arrangement between kitchen, dining, ... click here to read more

Step outside on a July morning and the lake is right there—maybe twenty steps from your door, glittering silver in the early light with the wooded ridgeline of Norefjell holding the horizon. The fire pit from last night still carries a faint trace of birch smoke. This is Haslerudodden 31, a three-bedroom wooden chalet sitting at the edge of Krøderen lake in one of Numedal's most quietly beloved corners, and it delivers the kind of Norwegian summer that the rest of the world has started to figure out. Krøderen is a long, narrow glacial lake about two hours north of Oslo by car, tucked between forested hillsides that turn fiery orange and red each September. The village is small—a post office, a fuel station, a summer kiosk selling soft ice cream and shrimp—but that smallness is the whole point. Families who own cabins here have owned them for generations, and the social life happens on the water, on the hiking trails, and around the campfire. In July and August, the lake itself becomes the main event: swimming off the private rocks, kayaking into the stillness of early morning, casting a line for perch and pike from the shoreline twenty meters from the front door. Come November, the same silence that made summer so restorative transforms into something sharper and more electric—the first snow on the fells, the trail groomer running its nightly pass, and Norefjell Ski Resort just a ten-minute drive up the road. Norefjell is not a resort that needs much introduction in Norway. With 23 slopes, a vertical drop of 770 meters, and a loyal crowd of Oslo families who have been coming here since the 1952 Winter Olympics were held nearby, it's a serious mountain with a decidedly unpretentious atmosphere. The après-ski is not bott ... click here to read more

Imagine waking up on a July morning to the soft knock of lake water against your own private shoreline. You pull back the pine-framed window and the cool, clean air off Brusdalsvannet rolls in — the kind of air that makes you feel like you've done something right with your life. That's what mornings look like at this two-bedroom Norwegian chalet on Olvikvegen 4, and honestly, it's hard to go back to any other kind. Skodje is the sort of place that doesn't make a lot of noise about itself, which is precisely why people who know western Norway tend to love it. Tucked into the fjord landscape of Møre og Romsdal county, roughly 12 kilometres from the coastal city of Ålesund, the municipality sits in a narrow band of green hills and glassy water that most international travelers fly right over on their way to more obvious destinations. Their loss. The drive in from Ålesund Airport takes about 25 minutes, and once you're here, the outside world genuinely feels optional. The chalet itself dates to 1932 in spirit — you can feel the lineage in the warm pine flooring and horizontal timber cladding — but a full reconstruction in 1999 gave it the bones of a much younger building. PVC double-glazed energy windows installed as recently as 2016 keep drafts out through the long Norwegian winters, and the overall condition is solid and well maintained. Nothing here asks to be fixed before you can enjoy it. At 48 square metres of interior space across a ground floor and a sleeping loft, it's compact by design. Every square metre earns its keep. Downstairs, the living room and kitchen share an open layout that makes the space feel generous despite the footprint. Pine panelling lines the walls from floor to ceiling — warm, golden, unpret ... click here to read more

Picture this: it's six in the morning, the Trondheimsfjord is mirror-flat, and you're standing on a 113-square-meter timber terrace with a cup of coffee watching the light shift from pale gold to white over the water. No traffic. No noise. Just the occasional creak of a boat rope from your own private mooring down at the shore. This chalet at Vigtilvegen 105 in Frosta gives you that morning, every morning you want it. Frosta is a peninsula that juts out into the Trondheimsfjord about 45 minutes east of Trondheim city, and it has a reputation among Norwegians that hasn't quite leaked out to the wider world yet. The soil here is some of the most fertile in the country — the garlic and root vegetables grown on Frosta farms turn up on tasting menus in Trondheim's better restaurants. The light in summer is extraordinary, long golden evenings that seem to last forever, the kind of dusk that makes you pour another glass of wine and stay outside well past ten o'clock. In winter, the fjord occasionally freezes at the edges, the bare fields go silver-white, and the cross-country ski trails at Frostamarka open up — the nearest prepared track is just 1.1 kilometers from the front door. The chalet itself was built in 2000 and has been kept in genuinely good condition, with thoughtful updates along the way. The kitchen was fully renovated in 2020 and it shows — smooth-fronted cabinetry, a solid stone countertop, clean lines throughout. It connects openly to the living and dining area, so whoever's cooking doesn't end up exiled from the conversation. Large windows face the fjord, and on clear days you can track the slow movement of ferries and fishing boats from the kitchen sink. There's a wood-burning stove in the living room that e ... click here to read more

Step outside on a January morning and you can hear the ski lift humming before you've had your coffee. The slopes at Bortelid are right there — literally in your sightline from the terrace — and the groomed cross-country trails begin where the road ends. This is Kvitefossvegen 2, a three-bedroom mountain chalet sitting at 587 metres above sea level in Åseral, one of those Norwegian mountain destinations that regulars are quietly possessive about. And you'll understand why the moment you arrive. The chalet dates to 1979 but don't let that fool you. It's been thoroughly updated and carries none of the tired, dark-panelled weight you sometimes find in older Norwegian hytter. The interior is light and open, with big windows that pull the mountain panorama straight into the living room. On clear days — and there are plenty — you can watch the ski slopes shift colour as afternoon light drags across them. The fireplace in the open-plan living and kitchen space does exactly what a fireplace should: it makes the room the centre of everything. You eat here, you linger here, you play cards here while sleet taps at the glass outside. The floor plan is practical without feeling cramped. At 68 square metres, the space is thoughtfully laid out — entrance hall, three bedrooms, a modern bathroom, a storage room for all the skis and boots and wet gear that mountain life inevitably accumulates, and that generous open living area. Three bedrooms means you can bring the whole family, host friends from Oslo or abroad, and still have a door to close at the end of the evening. It's the kind of configuration that makes a mountain cabin genuinely usable rather than just aspirational. Then there's the terrace. Forty-eight square metres of south ... click here to read more

Step outside on a February morning and the world is utterly still. The Nesfjella mountains rise across the valley in shades of blue and white, the air carries that sharp, clean cold that wakes you faster than any coffee, and the cross-country ski trail is literally 150 meters from your front door. This is Saupeset — a sun-facing mountain pasture above Nesbyen in the Numedal valley — and it's the kind of place Norwegians have been quietly keeping to themselves for generations. The main cabin at Bruslettgutu 55 dates to 1912. Over a century old, built from hand-hewn logs that have darkened beautifully with time, it has been updated where it counts without losing any of what makes it worth owning. New plumbing and drainage went in during 2019. The kitchen got solid wood countertops and integrated appliances. The bathroom was completely redone. The log walls and high-ceilinged living room with its fireplace? Those stayed exactly as they were, because you don't fix what isn't broken. Inside, 58 square meters of main floor living space flows through an entrance hall, a proper sitting room, a functional kitchen with a dining area, two bedrooms, and the renovated bathroom. Above, a loft opens up extra sleeping space — useful when you've got teenagers who want their own corner of the world, or friends who drove up from Oslo for a long weekend. The basement tucks away the technical equipment so none of it intrudes on daily life. But this property isn't just a cabin. It's a small compound, arranged in the traditional Norwegian hyttetun style — a cluster of buildings that each serve a clear purpose. The annex adds 25 square meters with its own living room, bedroom, and outdoor toilet, giving guests real independence rather than j ... click here to read more

Picture this: it's February, the thermometer reads minus eight, and you're standing on a south-facing timber terrace at 830 meters above sea level watching a pink dawn spill across the Synnfjell plateau. The wood stove inside is already ticking with warmth, the smell of pine resin drifting out through the doorway. Nobody else is visible in any direction. Just spruce forest, clean snow, and silence so complete you can hear your own breath. That's Svartsæterhalla 12 on a standard Tuesday in winter. This four-bedroom Norwegian mountain chalet sits in the Aust-Torpa highland area of Innlandet county — a sparsely developed holiday cabin zone where properties like this rarely appear on the open market. Built in 1983 in the traditional Røros cabin style with solid log construction, the 78-square-meter interior has been kept in genuinely good condition by its current owners. Not renovated-and-photographed-to-sell condition. Actually lived-in and cared-for condition. There's a difference, and it shows in the surfaces, the functioning equipment, and the way everything simply works. The open-plan living room and kitchen is the social heart of the chalet. High ceilings keep the space from feeling compact despite the footprint, and a wood-burning stove anchors the room with the kind of dry radiant heat that central heating can never quite replicate. A paraffin heater and gas heaters provide backup warmth on the coldest nights — and at 830 meters, those nights do get properly cold. The gas kitchen comes fully equipped with a stove and refrigerator, both included in the sale, and the smooth-fronted cabinetry with ceiling spotlights gives the workspace a clean, functional feel. Meals here tend to stretch long. After a day on skis or ... click here to read more

At midsummer, the sun doesn't set over Funnsjøen until well past ten in the evening. You're sitting on a 37-square-meter terrace, the lake catching the last gold light below, a coffee going cold in your hand because you keep forgetting to drink it. That's the kind of place this is. The kind that makes you forget what you came here to escape. Fersdalsveien 931 sits at 482 meters above sea level on a free-standing plot of just under 2,000 square meters in Meråker, a municipality in Trøndelag county that most international buyers haven't heard of yet — which is precisely why it's worth paying attention to. The cabin is in good condition, built in 1973 and carefully kept up over the decades, with upgrades that actually matter: new large-format windows installed in 2025 that flood the living room and master bedroom with light, hardwood floors sanded down and re-oiled in 2018, a wood-burning stove fitted in 2016, and fresh exterior surface treatments the same year. Nothing flashy. Just a property that's been genuinely looked after. The main cabin covers 58 square meters across a layout that makes sense for how people actually use a mountain retreat. The combined living and dining area — around 25.8 square meters — is the social center of the cabin. It's large enough to seat a family around a proper table and still have a sofa group where someone inevitably falls asleep after a day on the trails. The kitchen is right alongside it, practical and equipped with the essentials: stove, refrigerator, extractor fan, wall ventilation. No open-plan pretension, just a workspace that connects naturally to the dining area so whoever's cooking doesn't miss the conversation. Three bedrooms — the largest with that view over the lake, the o ... click here to read more
