Idyllic Chalet Retreat in Notodden: Perfect Second Home by Tjågevatn Lake

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

At half past ten on a midsummer evening, the sun is still high above the Lofoten skyline, burning copper across the water. You're sitting on the west-facing terrace at Kjerringøyveien 542 with a cup of coffee and nowhere to be. The fjord is right there — close enough that you can hear the faint slap of waves and, if the wind is right, the cry of Arctic terns returning to the shoreline across the road. This is Kjerringøy. Not a resort, not a holiday park — a real peninsula on the Nordland coast, where the light in summer defies logic and the silence in winter feels almost sacred. Built in 2008 and kept in genuinely good condition, this three-bedroom chalet sits on a 1,011-square-metre plot that the owners have owned outright — no leasehold complications, no shared title headaches. For international buyers used to navigating fractional ownership or ground rent clauses, that's worth pausing on. The land is yours. All 1,011 square metres of it, with multiple beach access points literally across the road. The cabin itself runs to 70 square metres of well-organised interior. Step through the front door and a sliding-wardrobe entrance hall takes the chaos of outdoor living — hiking boots, waterproof trousers, fishing gear — and makes it disappear before you reach the main living space. The open-plan kitchen and living room is where the 2008 build quality really shows. Large windows face west and pull in the last light of the evening, framing the fjord and the mountain ridgeline beyond like a painting that changes every hour. There's a wood-burning stove in the corner, the kind that becomes the gravitational centre of the room on November evenings when the temperature drops and the Aurora Borealis starts making appearances abo ... click here to read more

Wake up to the sound of water lapping against the shore and nothing else. No traffic. No alarms. Just the low call of a great northern diver drifting across Tyrifjorden at 6am while the morning light turns the fjord surface into hammered copper. That's a Tuesday at Tangenveien 50. This 1959 timber chalet sits directly on the water's edge at Kroksund, one of the narrowest and most dramatic pinch-points along Tyrifjorden — a lake so large it creates its own weather, so clear in summer you can see three meters down from a rowboat. The plot stretches across 1,199 square meters of leased land, giving the property a generous natural buffer from the rest of the world. The terrace — 20 square meters of sun-drenched outdoor living — faces the fjord dead-on. Sit there long enough with a coffee and you'll start rethinking your entire relationship with city life. At 43 square meters, the main cabin is compact the way a well-designed sailboat is compact: every centimeter works. The living room runs on natural light thanks to large windows aligned directly with the water view — in the late afternoon, the sun drops over the Krokskogen ridge behind you and the light on the fjord turns amber, then pink, then gone. The kitchen keeps things simple and functional: smooth-fronted cabinetry, a solid wood worktop, a stainless steel sink, and an externally vented hood — the kind of practical detail that matters when you're cooking fresh perch you pulled out of the fjord two hours earlier. A wood stove anchors the living space, and on September evenings when the air sharpens and the birch trees along the shore start turning yellow, you'll be very glad it's there. Three bedrooms across the main cabin, an annex, and a playhouse. That last sente ... click here to read more

The boat engine cuts off. Suddenly it's just the sound of water lapping against the hull, a pair of oystercatchers calling from somewhere along the shoreline, and the faint creak of the old wooden pier as you step ashore. That's your pier. That's your lake. And that's the moment most owners say they knew this was the one. Sitting directly on the water's edge of Regnarvatnet at 327 metres above sea level, this 62-square-metre chalet is the kind of place that genuinely does not come up often. Forty-six metres of private shoreline. Solar power. Water drawn directly from the lake wall. No road noise, no neighbours in sight, just the Norwegian wilderness doing what it does — putting on a quiet, relentless show from sunrise to well past nine in the evening during July. The cabin itself dates to the 1950s, expanded in the 1990s and renovated steadily since. It shows. Whitewashed timber surfaces, large windows replaced in 2016 that frame wide views across the water, and an open-plan kitchen and living area that feels genuinely social rather than cramped. On summer mornings, the light comes through those windows at an angle that turns the wooden floors amber. You'll stop noticing the kitchen is running on gas after about day two — it works, it's efficient, and it suits the rhythm of a place like this perfectly. Two ground-floor bedrooms cover the basics: a proper master room and a second bedroom with a family bunk setup, ideal for kids or extra guests. The loft above adds two further rooms with built-in beds — low ceilings, yes, but the kind of cosy that children absolutely love and adults secretly do too. In total, this chalet sleeps a full family group without anyone feeling squeezed. The bathroom setup is honest: a storage ... 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

Picture a Friday afternoon in late June. You've just turned off the E6 and onto the quiet country road toward Vikhammer, windows down, and the air already smells different — pine resin, cut grass, and something earthy and green that doesn't exist in apartment stairwells. Twenty minutes from Trondheim's Solsiden waterfront, and yet you feel properly away. That shift is exactly what these funkis-style cabins at På Landet Kolonihage are built around. Functionalism — the architectural movement Norwegians shortened to "funkis" — is having a serious moment in Scandinavian leisure property. Clean horizontal lines, flat roofs turned into usable terraces, large windows that pull the outside in. These 24 new-build cabins wear that aesthetic with conviction, not nostalgia. At 59 square metres across two floors, every square centimetre is accounted for. The open-plan kitchen and living area on the ground floor stretches to 21.3 square metres — enough for a proper dining table, a deep sofa, and still room to breathe. Oak-look countertops, integrated appliances, and a decent extractor fan: the kitchen is set up for actual cooking, not just reheating takeaway. The main bedroom runs to 10.2 square metres, with wardrobe storage built in so suitcases don't colonise the floor on arrival weekend. The second bedroom at 6.1 square metres works for children, for a guest who wants their own door to close, or for a desk and bookshelf if you've decided this is where you do your best thinking. The tiled bathroom sits on the ground floor; a separate WC upstairs keeps morning queues from forming. Small detail, real difference. Then there's the roof terrace. Eighteen square metres up top, and on a Norwegian summer evening — when the sky barely dar ... click here to read more

Step outside on a July morning and the air carries salt, pine resin, and something faintly smoky from a neighbor's fire pit two plots over. The water at Rubbestadneset sits barely a hundred meters from your front terrace — flat, grey-green, and almost completely still at that hour. This is the kind of quiet that city people drive three hours to find. You won't have to drive far at all. Rubbestadneset is a small coastal community on Bømlo island, tucked into the western fjord landscape of Hordaland county between Bergen and Stavanger. Not a tourist trap. Not a postcard village selling itself to outsiders. Just a genuine Norwegian coastal settlement where families have kept holiday cabins for generations, where the neighbors actually wave, and where the sea is accessible not as a backdrop but as a daily fact of life. The E39 connects you to Bergen in roughly two and a half hours, and Stavanger is a similar drive southward — making this a legitimately usable second home for people based in either city, or for international buyers flying into Bergen Airport Flesland who want somewhere real rather than somewhere staged. The chalet at Bråtanesvegen 30 sits on its own freehold plot of 1,647 square meters. That number matters here because space at the water in western Norway is finite and rarely comes with car access all the way to the door. This one does. The driveway runs directly to the cabin, which means unloading the car after a long week in the city doesn't involve dragging bags down a gravel path in the rain. A small thing until you've done it twenty times. The main structure dates from 1978 but tells you nothing about what it was in 1978 — it's been extended in 1980, 2007, 2013, and 2017, and the result is a cabin tha ... 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

The first thing you notice on a clear July morning at Lauvåsvågen 113 is the light. It arrives early this far north, slanting gold across the Gandsfjord and bouncing off the water straight through the cabin's front windows before you've even put the kettle on. By the time you carry your coffee out to the front terrace — twenty-one meters from the shoreline, close enough to hear the soft lap of the fjord against the rocks — you start to understand why people who buy cabins in Hommersåk tend to keep them for generations. This is a proper Norwegian fritidsbolig. Built in 1956, the cabin sits on a 781-square-meter plot that feels far larger than its numbers suggest, partly because of the way the land opens toward the water, and partly because of the small wooden bridge over the creek at the entrance — a detail that gives the whole place a storybook quality without trying too hard. The plot is south-facing, sheltered from the coastal winds by mature vegetation, and developers of the surrounding area haven't crept in to crowd it. That's increasingly rare this close to Stavanger. Inside, the 39-square-meter interior is compact but considered. The open-plan kitchen and living room is the social heart of the cabin, and the large windows do the heavy lifting on the design side — when the view outside is the Gandsfjord stretching toward Stavanger, you don't need much else on the walls. A wood-burning stove anchors one corner of the living room, and on the grey autumn weekends that Rogaland is famous for, it earns its place immediately. The kitchen is practical, with a window above the sink that frames the garden and lets in the salt-tinged breeze when you crack it open. A bar-style dining area keeps meals casual and convivial, th ... 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

Step outside on a July morning and the water of Lomtjønn is so still it mirrors the spruce treeline perfectly. You're standing on the upper terrace with a coffee, the only sounds a woodpecker working somewhere up the hillside and the faint creak of the hot tub cover lifting in the breeze. That's the rhythm this place sets. Not a frantic ski-resort pace, not a tourist-packed coastal summer — something slower, quieter, and frankly harder to find anywhere in Europe at this price point. Svimbilvegen 38 sits in the Heia district of Hovin i Telemark, roughly 10 kilometers from Austbygde and about 20 minutes' drive from the village center of Sandvatn. The address might not mean much if you've never spent time in Telemark, but locals know this corner of Norway as a genuinely uncrowded patch of mountain and lake country. No queues. No overpriced harbor-front restaurants. Just forest trails, cold clear water, and a landscape that stays interesting across all four seasons. The chalet itself — a main cabin plus a separate annex — sits on a 1,128 square meter plot with full sun from sunrise to sunset. That matters more than it sounds. Norwegian summer evenings stretch impossibly long, and having sun on your terraces until 9 or 10pm transforms how you use the outdoor space. There are multiple terrace levels here, adding up to 115 square meters of external deck and balcony combined, so whether you want morning light over breakfast or a shaded corner in the afternoon, you can have both without moving far. Inside the main cabin, the living room has the kind of atmosphere that takes years to develop — stained wooden wall panels, high ceilings that keep the space from feeling boxed in, and a wood-burning stove with a glass door that tur ... 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 wake up to the sound of water. Not the distant kind—the close kind, the kind that tells you the lake is right there, just past the pines, eighty meters from your front door. By the time the coffee is ready, someone has already grabbed a towel and headed down to the dock. That's the rhythm Følingen Hyttefelt 15 puts you in. And once you've had it for a weekend, you'll find it very hard to go back. Aremark sits in the far southeast of Norway, tucked into Østfold county right up against the Swedish border—a part of the country that doesn't get the postcard attention of the fjords, but rewards the people who find it with something arguably better: genuine quiet, real forest, and lakes that haven't been overrun. Aremarksjøen is the main body of water here, and it's the kind of lake where you can actually hear the surface when it's calm. Paddleboats, kayaks, small motorboats—all of it works. The fishing is serious too. Perch and pike are common pulls, and on an early July morning with mist still sitting on the water, it's the sort of scene that makes you wonder why you ever needed a flight to get somewhere meaningful. The cabin itself is 67 square metres of solid Norwegian timber construction, and it's in good condition—maintained rather than neglected, which matters more than most buyers initially realize. Walk in and the first thing you notice is the smell of wood, the kind that comes from panelled walls and solid timber flooring that have absorbed years of evening fires. The living room is genuinely liveable, not a tight squeeze: there's room for a proper sofa group and a dining table without anyone bumping elbows, which makes the difference on a rainy August afternoon when five people are inside playing cards. Both ... 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
