Cozy Norwegian Chalet Retreat: Your Private Vacation Home in Hokksund's Scenic Wilderness

Step out onto the terrace at Gafsetveien 123 on a July morning and you'll understand immediately why Norwegians have been coming to this corner of Trøndelag for generations. The air smells of pine resin and cut grass. Somewhere below the hill, the Trondheimsfjord catches the early light. A woodpecker is doing its thing in the birch stand at the edge of the plot. It's 6am and you have nowhere to be. This 1-bedroom cabin sits on a 1,463-square-meter plot just outside the small community of Stadsbygd, with the sea 1.4 kilometers away and the bustle of Rissa center a short drive down the road. At 29 square meters for the main cabin plus a 16-square-meter annex with its own covered terrace, this isn't a grand estate — it's something better: a proper Norwegian fritidsbolig, the kind of place where a long weekend feels like a full reset. The cabin was built in 1976 and has the bones you'd expect from that era — solid, practical, honest. The living room, roughly 17 square meters, pulls in natural light from three directions, which matters a lot this far north. In midsummer, that means golden evening light streaming in until nearly 11pm. In late September, it means amber afternoon warmth that makes the wood stove across the room look even more inviting. That stove is going to become one of your favorite things about this place, almost certainly by your second visit. The kitchen is functional and real — no pretense here. A pump system currently supplies water to the kitchen tap, and the owner has noted that a permanent water line runs directly behind the cabin, meaning a full connection is a practical future upgrade rather than a distant fantasy. A septic tank is already in place, with drainage laid toward the annex. This isn't ... click here to read more

Early morning on Vesterøy, the smell of salt air comes through the window before you've even opened your eyes. By the time coffee's ready, you're sitting on the south-facing terrace watching the light shift across Hvaler Archipelago — the kind of slow, wordless morning that city life has been stealing from you for years. Vikerveien 191 sits right at the boundary of Ytre Hvaler National Park, one of Norway's most fiercely protected stretches of coastline, on the island of Asmaløy. This is not a cabin you stumble upon. You turn off just before the Hvaler Tunnel, follow the road through open, wind-carved terrain where juniper scrub hugs the rock faces, and then it appears — a well-kept 1965 chalet on 6,180 square metres of sunny, south-tilting land, with views that stretch out over the sea in a way that makes you reset your sense of scale. At 60 square metres, this is a cabin that's been lived in properly. Not over-renovated into something soulless, not left to quietly deteriorate — genuinely cared for over the past fifteen years in ways that matter. A drilled well with pump means fresh water independence. New windows keep out the coastal chill. The electrical system has been fully upgraded. The fireplace in the living room does real work from September through April, when the archipelago empties of summer crowds and you get the place almost entirely to yourself. Two bedrooms, one bathroom with shower and toilet, a functional kitchen, and a hallway that doesn't feel cramped — the layout is compact but sensibly arranged. Natural light fills the interior throughout the day, partly because of the orientation, partly because the windows are well-positioned for both the morning sun on the eastern side and the long Norwegian s ... click here to read more

Step outside on a February morning and the only sound is the scrape of your own skis clipping into their bindings. The groomed cross-country trail is literally 150 meters from the front door—you can see it from the terrace—and the air at 900 meters above sea level has that particular sharpness that makes coffee taste better and lungs feel cleaner. This is Åsgrende 52 in Nes Østmark, a solar-powered three-bedroom chalet sitting on a sunny hilltop above the lakes of Langevatn and Buvatn, and it is one of those rare Norwegian mountain properties that actually works as well in July as it does in January. Built in 1970 and kept in good condition over the decades, the cabin has 55 square metres of indoor space that feel surprisingly generous thanks to a vaulted living room ceiling that opens everything up. Pine paneling runs along the walls—the real thing, worn smooth and honey-colored from years of wood stove heat—and the cast iron stove itself sits at the heart of the room like a small monument to every cold evening well spent. Large windows pull the landscape inside: open hillside, distant ridgeline, and on clear days a slice of the lake catching the afternoon sun. This orientation isn't an accident. The plot faces south and the cabin collects light for long hours, which matters enormously in the Norwegian highlands where a sunny hilltop position can extend your usable outdoor season by weeks on either end. The kitchen is functional in that straightforward cabin way—solid wood cabinetry, a gas stove, enough counter space to actually cook a proper meal rather than just boil water for instant noodles. The dining area fits the family comfortably. Three bedrooms sleep seven in total, so there's room for kids, grandparents, or ... click here to read more

Step out onto the 80-square-metre terrace on a January morning and the world is white and perfectly silent, except for the low creak of frost-laden pine branches and the distant hiss of cross-country ski tracks being groomed just beyond the tree line. That's the kind of moment this chalet in Risdal delivers, not occasionally, but every single time you arrive. Sitting at Vervassheia hytte 3 in the peaceful Froland municipality of Aust-Agder, this four-bedroom year-round cabin is the real thing — a genuine Norwegian retreat built in the classic Buen-Aarak tradition, with solid bones, a warm interior, and enough outdoor space to actually live in rather than just admire from inside. At 100 square metres of interior space plus generous covered and open terracing, it punches well above its price point of NOK 158,000. The cabin was extensively upgraded in 2010, including a new roof and a well-considered rear extension that added meaningful living space without compromising the character of the original structure. The heat pump installed roughly two and a half years ago — a 7.2 kW unit still under manufacturer's warranty — keeps every room comfortable whether it's a sharp February night or a humid August afternoon. Backup warmth comes from a traditional fireplace and a wood-burning stove. On those evenings when you light both and settle in with a glass of something, the parquet floors and warm laminate surfaces absorb the light in a way that no forced-air system ever quite matches. Four proper bedrooms mean this is not a squeeze-in-the-sleeping-bags situation. Up to ten guests can sleep comfortably, making it genuinely viable for extended family visits, a group ski week, or simply having the cousins over every summer without ... click here to read more

Stand on the southwest-facing balcony at seven in the morning, coffee in hand, and watch the Helgeland ferry cut a white line across the glassy water below. The air smells of salt and spruce. Nothing moves except the birds and the tide. This is Sørfjorden on a Tuesday, and it feels exactly like what you imagined Norway would feel like before you ever visited. The cabin at Sørfjordveien 58 sits roughly a hundred meters from the shoreline, elevated just enough — twenty-five meters above sea level — to give you that panoramic southwest sweep across the water without ever feeling exposed or wind-battered. It's a compact, practical property: 43 square meters of indoor living space, two bedrooms sleeping up to six, one bathroom, and a wraparound terrace of approximately 40 square meters that genuinely doubles your usable space from late May through September. Built in 2010 and given a solid renovation in 2017, it's in good condition and ready to use from day one. No project, no surprises. Just show up. The plot itself runs to 954 square meters, which out here in Rødøy municipality — one of the least densely populated stretches of the Norwegian coast — feels genuinely generous. There's room to breathe, room for the kids to roam, room to eventually build the boathouse the area is already regulated for. That detail matters more than it might first seem. A permitted boathouse and floating dock means direct sea access for a small boat or kayak, which transforms how you experience the fjord. Instead of watching the water, you're on it. Sørfjorden sits in the Helgeland region of Nordland, roughly 100 kilometers south of the Arctic Circle. That sounds remote, and in some ways it is — that's precisely the point. But remote here does ... click here to read more

Stand on the terrace at Vikstølvegen 58 on a February morning and the only sound you'll hear is the soft creak of snow-laden pine branches and the distant swish of skis on groomed trails. The air is so cold it bites your nose. Coffee in hand, you watch the light shift from pale grey to a low, golden Scandinavian winter sun spilling across 1,222 square metres of snow-covered hillside that is entirely yours. This is Evje — and this little chalet quietly delivers the kind of Norwegian cabin experience that people spend decades searching for. Built in 1965, the chalet sits on Vikstølvegen in the forested hills above Evje, a town of roughly 3,500 people in Aust-Agder county that locals affectionately call the adventure capital of southern Norway. It's not a throwaway nickname. The Otra River, which carves through the valley below, runs some of the most popular white-water rafting stretches in Scandinavia each summer. Evje og Hornnes municipality has mapped out hundreds of kilometres of marked trails for mountain biking, and the rock faces around Fennefoss draw climbers from across Europe between June and September. The chalet at number 58 puts you at the mouth of all of it — the cross-country ski trails start almost at the garden gate in winter, and those same tracks become hiking and biking paths the moment the snow retreats in April. Fifty-eight square metres sounds modest until you step inside and realise how cleverly the space works. The living room anchors the interior, and the wood-burning stove there is not a decorative touch — it is the social core of the whole property. On cold evenings, it radiates enough warmth to fill the room quickly, and there's something about gathering around a real fire after a day on skis ... click here to read more

Step off the gravel path, push open the heavy timber door, and you're standing inside a cabin that was built before Norway was even a unified country. The year was 1835. Outside, the sea glitters toward the mountains of Stord and Fitjar — the same view whoever lived here first would have woken up to every morning. That sense of continuity, of being anchored to something genuinely old and real, is rare. And at Flatråkervegen 280 on the island of Tysnes, it costs less than most city parking spaces in Oslo. Tysnes sits in Vestland county, tucked between the Hardangerfjord and the Bjørnafjorden, and locals here will tell you it's one of those places that doesn't need to announce itself. There's no ski resort branding or tourist infrastructure. What there is instead: quiet coves, black trumpet mushrooms pushing up through the forest floor in autumn, golden chanterelles in summer, and a community that shows up for Tysnesfest each year with the kind of energy you can't manufacture. The festival draws thousands to this small island — live music, outdoor stages, a genuine celebration rather than a curated event. Outside of festival season, life here moves at a pace that most people have to travel a long way to find. The cabin itself is compact — 36 square metres of usable space — but it doesn't feel small. Exposed timber walls and visible ceiling beams give it a solidity that modern builds rarely achieve. Natural light comes in through windows that frame the hillside and the water beyond. The living room fits a sofa, a dining table, and still leaves room to breathe. There's a working fireplace, and on a wet October evening with the wind coming off the water, you'll be glad it's there. The kitchen is more functional than it mig ... click here to read more

Step outside on a February morning and the only sound is the scrape of your ski boots snapping into bindings. The groomed trail starts practically at the edge of the terrace. The air is sharp, pine-scented, and cold enough to make the first thermos of coffee feel like a small miracle. This is what owning a cabin at Skrim actually feels like—and it's the kind of thing that's very hard to put a price on. Bjørklundveien 83 sits in one of Eastern Norway's most beloved outdoor recreation areas, a place where the word "hytte" carries real cultural weight. Norwegians have been coming to Skrim for generations—not for Instagram moments, but for the genuine reset that only deep forest and open sky can deliver. Buying here puts you inside that tradition. It's a vacation home in Norway that earns its keep in every season. The cabin itself is 71 square meters of considered simplicity. The living room ceiling climbs all the way to the roof ridge, giving the space a surprising airiness for its footprint. Large windows face the tree line, and in the afternoon the light slants in at a low Norwegian angle that turns the pine walls a warm amber. The fireplace is the room's undeniable focal point—once you've lit it after a long ski tour and peeled off your base layers, you'll understand immediately why Norwegians rate "kos" (coziness, roughly translated) as something close to a life philosophy. The open kitchen and dining area keep everything sociable. There's no wall separating whoever's cooking from whoever's losing at cards. The kitchen is functional and honest—no pretension, no complications. You come here to live well in a simple way, and the layout supports exactly that. One bedroom holds a double bed, the other has bunk beds that ... click here to read more

Wake up on a Saturday morning in October and the valley below Eggedal is filling with low cloud, the kind that sits in the hollows between ridges and turns everything golden at the edges. You pull on a sweater, start the wood stove, and stand at the living room window with your coffee while the mountains do their thing. No traffic. No notifications. Just the occasional thud of snow sliding off a pine branch somewhere up the slope. This is what owning a cabin at Tempelseterveien 211 actually feels like. Perched on the hillside above Eggedal village, this two-bedroom Norwegian mountain chalet sits on a fully owned 570-square-metre plot with views straight across the valley to the ridgelines beyond. Built in 1970 in the sturdy, no-nonsense tradition of classic Norwegian hytter, it has been kept in good condition and carries all the honest character you want from a mountain retreat — wood-panelled walls, a fireplace with an insert, a separate wood-burning stove, and windows sized generously enough to make the landscape feel like part of the room. At 42 square metres total, the footprint is tight but considered. Everything has a purpose. Nothing is wasted. The two bedrooms sleep a family or a group of friends comfortably. The main living area is where you'll spend most of your time regardless — playing cards at the table after a long hike, or simply doing nothing productive in the best possible way. A five-square-metre balcony extends off the main space, south-facing enough to catch afternoon sun in summer, and positioned so you get the full sweep of the valley without anything man-made interrupting the sightline. Electricity runs throughout the cabin, and summer water comes from a shared well just outside — a perfectly pra ... click here to read more

Step outside on a February morning and the only sound is the creak of snow-laden pine branches and the distant swish of skis on a groomed trail — 250 meters from your front door. That is the daily reality at Fjellvegen 885, a compact, well-built mountain chalet sitting at 245 meters above sea level in the Beitstad highlands of central Norway. Built in 2016 and kept in genuinely good condition, this is not a dusty inherited cabin with rattling single-pane windows and a temperamental woodstove. Everything here was designed from the start to work. The chalet runs entirely off-grid with a 230-volt system fed by solar panels and a generator, both managed through an inverter that you can switch on remotely from the living room sofa. Pull up on a Friday evening in January, start the system from your phone before you even unlock the door, and walk into a lit, warming space rather than a cold, dark box. It is a small detail that changes everything about how you actually use the place. Inside, the open-plan living and kitchen area clocks in at around 26 square meters — not enormous, but smartly arranged. Large windows along the main wall pull in low Nordic light and frame a direct view over Jenshusvatnet, the lake that defines this stretch of the Nordfjellet plateau. In winter the lake freezes to a glassy white. In late June, with the sun barely setting, it catches orange and pink for hours. The wood-burning stove anchors one corner of the room; the kitchen sits opposite with an integrated gas hob, oven, and a gas refrigerator included in the sale. There is nothing superfluous here. Every fixture earns its place. Two bedrooms — each around 6 square meters — give sleeping space for four comfortably, more if you use the loft reac ... click here to read more

The morning quiet up here is something else entirely. No traffic, no notifications — just the low creak of hand-hewn timber warming in the sun and, if you step out onto the terrace before breakfast, the silver surface of Lake Femunden stretching south toward the Swedish border. At 684 meters above sea level, the air has a sharpness to it that wakes you up faster than any coffee. This is Femundgropa 11, a two-bedroom log cabin on the edge of Drevsjø, and it sits at the kind of address that most people only ever see on hiking maps. Built in 2001 using traditional round-timber construction, the cabin is the real thing — not a modern kit house dressed up with rustic touches, but an actual hand-crafted log structure with a sod roof that's been quietly growing into the hillside for over two decades. The walls are thick, the logs are hand-hewn, and the whole place has the satisfying solidity of something built to last generations rather than to photograph well for a brochure. Several of the windows were replaced around 2009, and they frame views in three directions: birch forest, open fell, and on clear days, the long blue line of the lake below. Inside, the living space is compact and honest. A wood-burning stove anchors the main room — and in late September when the birch leaves go gold and the temperature drops overnight, you will be very glad it's there. The kitchen runs off a gas-powered stove, the fridge is included in the sale, and wastewater drains naturally through a terrain ditch. There's no mains connection, which is exactly the point. Power comes from a south-facing 12V solar panel system backed by a 136Ah battery, enough for lighting and the small appliances you actually need. Mornings here run on their own sched ... click here to read more

Step onto the south-facing terrace on a July morning and the first thing you notice is the silence. Not the dead kind — the full kind, broken only by wind moving through the pine tops and the occasional call of something you can't quite name. Grimestadveien 41 sits elevated above the surrounding terrain in Marnardal municipality, and from this perch you genuinely feel like the landscape belongs to you. This three-bedroom chalet on Grimestad has been a quiet secret for long enough. Positioned on a 700 m² freehold plot near the shores of Dørevann, the cabin catches sunlight from first thing in the morning all the way through to the long Nordic evenings — that golden hour stretching past 10pm in midsummer — when the terrace practically begs you to pour something cold and stay put. The wrap-around deck covers 52 square metres across three sides of the building, which sounds like a statistic until you realise it means you can always find sun or shade depending on your mood, and there's room for a full outdoor table without anyone feeling cramped. Built in 1994 and held in good condition throughout, the chalet runs across a single level — a practical choice that works particularly well for families with young children or anyone who doesn't want stairs to be part of the conversation on holiday. Inside, the open-plan kitchen and living room feels genuinely generous for 82 square metres. Large windows push the walls out visually and pull the treeline in. On grey autumn afternoons, the wood-burning stove earns its keep; in the shoulder seasons, the heat pump handles the heavy lifting. Both working in tandem means this isn't purely a summer property — Norwegians use cabins like this year-round, and it's easy to see why. The thre ... click here to read more

You step off the boat and the engine dies. Suddenly it's just wind through pine needles, the soft lap of water against the dock, and the distant call of a great northern diver somewhere across Lake Toke. That's the moment you understand why people fall hard for Fjordøy and never quite let go. This three-bedroom timber chalet sits on its own 1,233 square metre island plot in the middle of Lake Toke, in Telemark's Drangedal municipality — one of the quieter corners of inland Norway that Norwegians have been quietly hoarding as a summer secret for decades. The cabin was built in 1964, and while it's been well maintained, it hasn't been sanitised into something generic. The low ceilings, the knotted pine walls, the south-facing terrace worn smooth by summers of bare feet — it feels like a place that has actually been lived in and loved. At 42 square metres internally, it's compact but genuinely functional. The living and dining room catches southern light for most of the day, and the direct door onto the covered terrace means meals blur between inside and outside from June right through to early September. The kitchen is simple and honest. Three bedrooms sleep a family or a group of friends without anyone having to argue over sleeping arrangements. A separate utility area of 13 square metres — attached but external — holds a storage room and a toilet, which is the kind of practical Norwegian cabin thinking that makes a property actually usable rather than just photogenic. The private shoreline and wooden boat dock are the heart of the place. Lake Toke is a serious lake — around 15 kilometres long, clear enough to swim in with confidence, deep enough to hold good-sized perch and pike. On a calm morning, you can fish from t ... click here to read more

The first thing you notice is the silence. Not the absence of sound — the lake has plenty of that, a rowboat knocking gently against its mooring, wind moving through the birch trees at the edge of the plot — but the absence of everything else. No traffic. No notifications that feel urgent. Just Storblåvatnet laid out below the living room windows like something from a Knut Hamsun novel, and a fireplace that'll be lit before you've even unpacked. This is a two-bedroom chalet vacation home in Namdalseid, Trøndelag, and it is genuinely unlike most cabins you'll find on the Norwegian market right now. The off-grid setup — solar panels on both the main cabin and the separate annex, rainwater collection with filtration, a wood-burning stove doing the heavy lifting on cold autumn nights — makes this less a weekend bolt-hole and more a functioning little world unto itself. Built originally in 1978, the main cabin sits at 46 square metres of interior space, which sounds compact until you're inside and the living room opens up around you. At roughly 25 square metres, it's the kind of room that earns its size: a fireplace at one end, a wood stove at the other, and a bank of large windows framing unobstructed views down across the water toward Øyensskavlen mountain, which tops out at 687 metres and is a proper half-day hike from your front door. On clear July evenings — and there are many of them here, the plot faces south and gets sun from early morning until late — you can sit on the 25-square-metre covered veranda and watch the light change colour on the mountain for an hour without it feeling like a long time. The kitchen is functional rather than elaborate, which fits the cabin's ethos: you're here to spend time outdoors, no ... click here to read more

The first thing you notice on a still July morning at Straumsvågen 109 is the silence — not the absence of sound, but the specific quality of it. The soft lapping of water maybe forty seconds' walk from the front door. A fishing boat somewhere out on the fjord, engine ticking over. Birdsong you can't quite identify. This is what a proper Norwegian cabin holiday sounds like, and owning this chalet means it's yours to come back to whenever city life stops making sense. Kvisvik sits along the edge of Møre og Romsdal, a county that consistently stops visitors dead in their tracks. This is the same coastline that inspired a thousand painters and drew Norse sailors centuries before anyone thought to put a road through here. Straumsvågen itself is a quiet inlet where the light does extraordinary things in the late evening — in summer it barely gets dark, and the sky turns shades of amber and coral that you genuinely won't find anywhere south of the Arctic Circle. The mountains that frame the view from the chalet's veranda aren't decorative. They're the kind you actually want to climb. The property at Straumsvågen 109 was built in 1986 and sits in genuinely good condition — no renovation project waiting to bite you, just a well-kept cabin ready for use from day one. At 62 square metres of indoor living space, it's compact in the way that Norwegian cabins are supposed to be: efficient, functional, warm. The layout makes sense. The living room sits at the heart of things, with windows sized generously enough to let the landscape in, and on grey October weekends when the rain comes sideways off the fjord, the fireplace turns the whole room into something very close to perfect. Adjoining the living area, the kitchen handles the pr ... click here to read more

The sun is still up at nine in the evening. You're sitting on the veranda at Prestenga 30, a cold glass in hand, watching the light turn the water below into something between silver and gold. The fjord doesn't move much at this hour. Neither do you. That's the point. This two-bedroom cabin in Halden's Prestenga area sits on a west-facing plot that catches the sun from mid-morning all the way through those impossibly long Norwegian summer evenings. At 54 square metres, it's compact and deliberate — every square metre pulls its weight. The interior has been completely redone in recent years: new flooring throughout, upgraded walls and ceilings, a fresh kitchen, and three double terrace doors installed along the facade that throw afternoon light deep into the living space. From almost every spot inside, you have a clear line of sight to the water. The open-plan living and kitchen area is the heart of the cabin. It works. The kitchen comes fitted with integrated appliances — all included in the sale — and there's genuine storage space rather than the token cupboards you often find in leisure properties of this size. The layout flows naturally out onto the large veranda through those terrace doors, so summer mornings tend to blur pleasantly between inside and outside. Coffee at the kitchen counter, then coffee on the veranda. Same view, better air. Both bedrooms carry the same clean, modern finish as the rest of the property. The main bedroom looks out over the water — waking up to that on a still August morning, with the smell of pine drifting in through a cracked window, is the kind of thing that makes you stop checking your phone. The second bedroom works perfectly as a children's room or guest space. The cabin sleeps ... click here to read more

Imagine waking up on a Saturday morning in July, the smell of pine and lake water drifting through a half-open window, a cup of coffee going cold on the terrace railing because you got distracted watching a pair of grebes glide across Randsfjorden. That's the specific kind of morning this cabin at Steinhusveien 5 makes possible. Not a fantasy — just a Tuesday for the people who own it. Randsfjorden is Norway's fourth-largest lake, and it gets far less tourist traffic than the bigger-name fjords to the west. The locals know this and they're not particularly eager to share it. The water is clear enough to see the bottom from a rowing boat, the fishing for pike and perch is genuinely good, and on a calm summer evening the light sits on the surface in a way that makes it almost impossible to go back inside. The chalet has its own boat mooring right below the property — not a shared dock, not a slip you have to reserve. Yours. Drop in a kayak, take out the rowing boat, or just sit on the edge with a fishing line. The lake is that close. The cabin itself was built in 1963 and it carries that era well. At 85 square metres across a 1,420-square-metre plot, it's not trying to be a hotel. It's a proper Norwegian fritidsbolig — a leisure home — designed around the idea that the outdoors is the real living room, and the indoor space is where you come in when the weather turns. Two living rooms, both with fireplaces, give the place a layered, flexible quality. Light a fire in the main room while the kids claim the second one. The large windows pull the fjord right into the space; in winter, when the lake occasionally ices over, it's a view that makes the whole idea of staying indoors feel worthwhile. There are two bedrooms. The ma ... click here to read more

Step outside on a still July morning, coffee in hand, and the first thing you notice is the silence. Not the absence of sound, but the particular hush of Nordland at its best — a light wind off Vassvatnet, birdsong threading through birch trees, the faint creak of the terrace boards under your feet as you walk to the railing and look out at mountains that have no interest in impressing you. They just are. That's what this chalet at Lægern 32 in Bratland gives you before breakfast. This is a genuine leisure property in the coastal municipality of Lurøy, tucked into the Aldersundet area of Nordland county, roughly halfway up the Norwegian coastline on the Helgeland coast. A part of Norway that doesn't chase attention the way the fjords around Bergen do. It rewards the people who find it instead. The main cabin was built in 1980 and sits on a fully owned 1,070 square metre lot — no shared ground, no leasehold complications, it's yours outright. At 83 square metres of internal space, the layout is deliberate and practical rather than wasteful: entrance hall, a living room large enough to hold both a dining table and a sofa group facing the window, a functional kitchen, a utility room that will absorb wet waders and muddy boots without complaint, a bathroom, three bedrooms, and two storage rooms. A wood-burning stove anchors the living space — on cold November evenings, with the mountains going dark and the stove throwing orange light across the room, you'll understand exactly why this thing was installed. A heat pump and electric heating back it up for the depths of winter, so the property runs comfortably year-round without drama. The kitchen is fitted with laminated cabinets and profiled fronts, a laminate countertop, a ... click here to read more
