Modern Chalet in Edland: Your Ideal Norwegian Mountain Second Home

Step out onto the terrace on a clear July morning, coffee in hand, and the whole of Byglandsfjorden opens up in front of you — that deep, glacier-carved water catching the early light, a rowing boat cutting silently across the surface somewhere below. This is the daily reality at Hagenes 25. Not a view you admire once and forget. One that keeps changing, keeps pulling you back outside. Built in 2008 and sitting on a gently elevated plot at Hagenesodden in Bygland municipality, this two-bedroom cabin is the kind of place southern Norway does better than almost anywhere in Europe. It's solid, thoughtfully put together, and in genuinely good condition — no renovation projects lurking beneath the surface. Just a well-kept retreat ready to be lived in from the first weekend you own it. The setting is what stops you. At roughly 220 meters above sea level, the cabin looks out over Byglandsfjorden — one of Norway's great inland fjords, stretching nearly 40 kilometers through the Setesdal valley. Down at the waterline, a short walk from the front door, there's a private dock. You can moor a boat there, cast a line for pike or perch at dusk, or simply sit with your feet over the edge and let the silence do its work. In summer, the water is warm enough to swim. That detail surprises most visitors who arrive expecting Norwegian waters to be freezing — Byglandsfjorden's sheltered position means swimming from mid-June through August is genuinely pleasant. Inside, the layout is sensibly designed — everything on a single level, which matters more than you'd think once you've spent a full day hiking and don't fancy stairs. The open-plan living and kitchen area is bright, with high ceilings and large windows framing the fjord on one si ... click here to read more

Picture this: it's a Tuesday morning in February, the kind where the air has that sharp, clean bite that wakes you up faster than coffee. You pull on your ski boots at the front door of your own cabin at Bekkekollhellinga 16, clip into your cross-country skis, and glide straight onto the groomed trail that runs less than 50 meters below the property. No shuttle. No parking lot. No queue. Just you, the pines, and about a thousand square meters of Norwegian mountain silence surrounding you. That's the daily reality at this 65-square-meter chalet sitting at roughly 600 meters above sea level in the Blefjell/Åslandseter area — a well-established mountain retreat zone in Numedal, Telemark, about two hours south of Oslo. Lampeland sits at the foot of this plateau, and from the cabin you're positioned centrally between Blestølen and Blestua, which puts you within easy reach of virtually everything this region offers while keeping the property itself tucked away and genuinely private. The south-facing exposure is one of the first things you notice. On clear days — and there are many, especially in spring and early autumn — the terrace catches sun from mid-morning until evening. The 25-square-meter outdoor deck is partially covered, so a light rain doesn't send you inside. There's a custom-built outdoor fireplace out here too, which extends the usable season considerably. Come September, when the birch trees turn gold and the nights cool fast, you can still sit outside long after dark with a fire going and a glass of something warm. That's the kind of detail that turns a holiday cabin into a proper second home. Inside, the layout is open and sensible. The living room, dining area, and kitchen flow together without feeling cram ... click here to read more

Step outside on a January morning and the entire valley is white, dead quiet except for the faint scrape of your own skis. Gaustatoppen sits right there across the ridge, its pyramid silhouette sharp against a pale Nordic sky. From the veranda of this cabin at Finntoppvegen 48, that view is yours every single day you're here. Not a postcard. The real thing. Skirvedalen is one of those corners of Telemark that Norwegians guard a little jealously. The valley sits inside Tinn municipality, tucked into the highland plateau at roughly 878 meters above sea level, and it has none of the overbuilt, après-ski busyness you'd find closer to Rauland or Geilo. What it has instead is 109 kilometers of groomed cross-country trails threading through birch and pine, almost total quiet on weekday mornings, and the kind of air that makes you feel like you've been doing something wrong by breathing city air for so long. This chalet was built in 1998 and has been properly refreshed in 2024 — new bathroom, updated laundry and technical room, fixtures that don't feel like an afterthought. The overall condition is good throughout. It's 54 square meters of interior space, which sounds compact until you're actually inside and realize the open-plan layout between the living area and kitchen makes the whole main floor feel generous and social. Big windows pull the landscape in. On a clear afternoon the light off Gaustatoppen pours through and pools across the wooden floor in a way that genuinely stops you mid-conversation. The fireplace is the heart of winter evenings here. Get back from a few hours on the trails — the groomed cross-country network starts just 178 meters from the front door, which in practice means you click into your skis on th ... click here to read more

You wake up to silence. Not the muffled, negotiated silence of a city apartment with double glazing — actual silence, broken only by the creak of log walls contracting in the cold and the faint whisper of wind moving through spruce trees. Pull back the curtain and there's a metre of fresh snow on the sod roof, the ski trail groomed and waiting less than fifty metres from your front door. That's the morning this cabin offers, over and over again. Sitting at 652 metres above sea level in the Nøklåkjølen area of Rendalen, this compact, well-built log chalet has a clarity of purpose that a lot of mountain properties lack. It was built to be used hard, to feel warm the moment you step inside, and to send you back outdoors recharged. At 58 square metres across the main cabin, with a separate annex and a timber outbuilding on a 926 m² freehold plot, it delivers on all three counts. The construction is solid log — not a decorative finish, actual stacked log walls that date to 2011 — topped with a traditional sod roof that keeps the interior at a remarkably even temperature year-round. Inside, the open-plan living room and kitchen is anchored by a fireplace that does real work. After a long day on the trails, you come in, peel off your layers in the entrance hall (dimmable spotlights, generous boot storage), and within twenty minutes you're horizontal on the sofa with the fire going and steam rising off your coffee. The kitchen is fitted with aged-painted fronts, a solid wood worktop, and gas-powered appliances — practical, unhurried, exactly right for the setting. The dining area sits beside it, with space for a proper long table where everyone can eat together at the end of a day. Two bedrooms handle the sleeping arrangement ... click here to read more

Step outside on a July morning, coffee in hand, and the fjord is already catching the light. The hills across the water are still half in shadow. A wooden terrace stretches out ahead of you — 103 square metres of it — and the only sound is wind through birch trees and the faint lap of water somewhere below. This is what you drove to Norway for. This is what you actually own. Lybergsviksvegen 58 sits in the Ottestad cabin area at Rødven, a cluster of leisure properties above the Romsdalsfjord in Rauma municipality — a region that serious hikers and outdoor people have known about for decades, but that still hasn't been overrun. The chalet itself was built in 2008 and covers 101 square metres of interior living space, with an additional outbuilding with carport and a total lot of 3,462 square metres. That includes an undeveloped neighbouring plot of 1,406 square metres — blank canvas for whatever comes next. Inside, the main floor opens through a proper hallway into a generous living room. Big windows pull the landscape indoors; on clear days you can see across to the mountains that ring this part of the Romsdal valley. A wood-burning stove sits at the heart of the room, and on an October afternoon when the temperature drops sharply and the first dusting of snow appears on the ridgelines, you will be very glad it's there. The kitchen is practical and well-fitted — nothing fussy, everything functional. Two bedrooms sit off the main floor, along with a bathroom, a separate toilet, a storage room, and — genuinely one of the property's highlights — a sauna. A proper sauna, not an afterthought. Come back from a day on the Romsdalseggen ridge trail, which stretches 10 kilometres between Åndalsnes and Vengedalen with views that ... click here to read more

Step outside on a February morning, clip into your cross-country skis right at the edge of the property, and push off into a white plateau that stretches further than you can see. No shuttle bus. No queue. Just you, the track, and the particular hush that only falls on a Norwegian mountain when fresh snow has settled overnight. That's the daily reality at Nørdre Einarsetlie 9 — a well-kept mountain chalet on Golsfjellet that has been quietly doing its job for decades, and doing it well. Gol sits in Hallingdal, a valley that Norwegians have been escaping to for generations. It's not a secret, exactly, but it's far enough from Oslo's orbit — about two and a half hours by car along the E16 — that it retains the unhurried rhythm that makes a proper mountain retreat worth having. The Golsfjellet plateau above the town is where the cabin culture thrives, and Nørdre Einarsetlie is one of its most established addresses. Neighbouring cabins are spread apart generously. You hear wind and birds, not neighbours. The chalet itself was originally built in 1973. Fifty-plus years is a long life for a mountain building, and this one has earned it — updated progressively over the years rather than left to quietly deteriorate. The result is a structure that feels honest and lived-in rather than a showroom renovation. Thick walls, a fireplace, a wood-burning stove that you'll want lit by late afternoon even in September. When the stove is going and the large living-area windows have gone dark with evening, there's a particular quality of warmth in here that newer builds tend to miss. The layout across the 72 square metres is practical without feeling cramped. An entrance hall handles the wet gear — boots, skis, poles, all of it — before ... click here to read more

The first thing you notice on a crisp October morning at Bjørkestubben 24 is the silence. Not the uncomfortable kind — the rare, earned kind that only arrives when you're sitting at 920 metres above sea level, wrapped in a wool blanket, watching mist lift off the Hallingdal valley below while a birch log crackles in the stove behind you. That's the daily reality of this place. Not a simulation of Norwegian mountain life, but the genuine article. This is a Hallingstue — a traditional timber log structure rooted in the architecture of the Hallingdal region — built in 1913 and originally part of the fabric of Robru before being carefully relocated to Sjauset in the early 1970s. The annex arrived later, moved piece by piece from Vestre Gausdal in 2000, itself a former retirement home with its own quiet history. Two buildings, two stories, one remarkable property sitting on 1,000 square metres of freehold mountain land just outside Gol in the heart of Numedal and Hallingdal's most celebrated outdoor country. The logs are dark with age in the best possible way. Inside the main cabin, the walls tell you immediately that this is not a flat-pack weekend house. Exposed timber, low beams, and a fireplace that dominates the living room create a warmth that central heating simply can't replicate. Upstairs via a narrow wooden staircase, a loft opens into sleeping spaces that feel tucked away from the world — perfect for children or guests who want their own corner of the mountain. The main bedroom is proper-sized, grounded, comfortable. The kitchen is one of those rooms you want to cook in: solid wood cabinetry painted in a deep, slightly weathered blue, a chunky wood countertop, a freestanding induction hob, and a wood-burning stov ... click here to read more

Step outside on a September morning and the whole valley is yours. Cloudberries glowing orange in the low sun, the outline of Gaustatoppen sharp against a pale sky, the smell of birch and cold air coming off the plateau. That's the daily reality at this timber chalet on Kultanvegen, sitting at 681 meters above sea level in Tuddal — one of Telemark's most quietly rewarding mountain communities, and still a genuine secret compared to the more trafficked Norwegian ski resorts further north. Built in 2009 by Norsk Fjellhus, a builder with a long reputation for getting the Norwegian mountain cabin right, this 98-square-meter property wears its credentials lightly. Turf roof. Solid timber walls that take on a deeper warmth as the years go by. The kind of construction that isn't trying to look like a traditional Norwegian hytte — it simply is one, without the affectation. Pull open the front door and the main living space opens up immediately. The kitchen and living area share one connected room, framed by exposed ceiling beams and warmed by a two-way fireplace you can watch from the sofa or the dining table. After the kitchen was extended in 2021, there's now real counter space — induction cooktop, oven, dishwasher, fridge-freezer all integrated — without the cramped, make-do feel of so many mountain kitchens. The large windows above the dining area frame Gaustatoppen, Gaustaknea, and Bonsnos like a painting that changes with every season. In January, those peaks are white and severe. In July, they turn green-grey under long evening light that barely fades. Everything in the chalet sits on a single level, which makes it genuinely practical for families. No stairs to navigate after a 20-kilometer ski loop or a long day picki ... click here to read more

Stand on the stone-paved terrace on a late June evening, the sky still pale gold at ten o'clock, a low fire crackling in the outdoor fireplace, and the smell of salt air drifting up from Dreggavik marina just down the path. That's the rhythm of life at this cabin on Dreggjavikveien 12. Not a fantasy — a Tuesday. Sandnes sits on the edge of the Gandsfjord in Rogaland, a county that Norwegians have quietly kept to themselves for decades while the rest of Europe chased Lofoten headlines. The Bersagel shoreline here is the kind of place where families have been launching rowboats and lighting grill fires for generations. The cabin itself carries that same unhurried quality — pine-planked floors worn just enough to feel honest, wood-paneled walls that hold warmth the way only timber does, a wood-burning stove that becomes the gravitational center of the room the moment October arrives. The living space is more generous than you'd expect for 69 square meters. Large windows pull in southern light for most of the day, and the open arrangement means the kitchen, dining nook, and sitting area all flow together rather than feeling chopped up. There's a proper spot by the window to eat breakfast while watching the birch trees move in the morning breeze — one of those small domestic pleasures that ends up mattering more than any feature list ever could. The kitchen has profiled cabinet fronts and enough counter space to actually cook, not just reheat. The main bedroom fits a double bed comfortably and shares that same close-grained timber cladding that runs through the rest of the interior. Off it, a practical alcove provides sleeping space for two more — grandkids, friends, whoever shows up for the July crab season. The bathroom ... click here to read more

Step outside on a February morning and the world is completely white and completely quiet. The cross-country trail runs just 120 meters from the front door — you can hear the sound of your own skis cutting through fresh snow before the rest of the valley is even awake. This is Fetlia, a small cluster of cabins sitting at 395 meters above sea level in the Sunnmøre Alps, and this particular chalet has been holding its own here for years with a kind of unpretentious confidence that's hard to fake. The setting hits you first. Large windows across the main living space look straight out at Nysætervatnet, the lake below shifting color through the day — silver in the morning light, deep blue-green by afternoon, then a flat pewter grey as the peaks catch the last of the sun. The vaulted ceiling climbs nearly five meters overhead, which sounds like a detail on a spec sheet until you're actually standing in it and realize how rarely Norwegian mountain cabins feel this open. There's no sense of compression, no low beams making you duck. Just space, light, and a fireplace in the corner that does exactly what a fireplace should: takes the edge off a cold evening and gives everyone a reason to sit still. The kitchen is the work of Mørekjøkken — a local craftsman workshop out of the region — built in a classic L-shape from solid wood that has aged into itself rather than against itself. Integrated oven, cooktop, provisions for a washing machine. It's not a showpiece kitchen designed to be photographed; it's one designed to be used, and there's a meaningful difference. The dining area sits right alongside it, open to the living room so conversation carries easily from the stove to the sofa. Up to twelve people can sleep comfortably he ... click here to read more

Step outside on a July morning and within ninety seconds your feet are on warm sand. That's the reality at Rognstranda 4. The Norwegian sun, which in midsummer barely dips below the horizon, has already been baking the south-facing terrace for hours by the time you pour your first coffee. This is not a compromise cabin hidden behind trees with a distant water view — it sits on a generous corner lot where sunlight tracks across the property from sunrise to well past nine at night. The chalet itself was built in 1958, and there's an honesty to that era of construction — solid wood floors, panelled walls, a wood-burning stove that means you can crack the place open in late March or keep it running into October without shivering through dinner. At 66 square metres split between a main cabin and a detached annex, the layout is compact but genuinely functional. Two proper bedrooms sit on the ground floor, plus two sleeping alcoves for when the kids bring friends or the cousins arrive unannounced in August. The living room catches afternoon light through wide windows that frame the surrounding coastal landscape — birch, granite, salt air — and the wood stove anchors the room without overwhelming it. The kitchen is straightforward and practical, with custom-built cabinetry and a back door that opens directly onto the yard. That detail matters more than it sounds: you're carrying groceries in from the car, setting up the outdoor kitchen on the patio, moving between inside and outside constantly the way you do when you're actually on holiday. The bathroom is a decent size — toilet, mirror vanity, shower cabin, and plumbing already in place for a washing machine. Solid and well-maintained. Nothing to fix before your first stay. ... 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 trail from Åsveien 499 pushes straight into the Meråker hills, and by the time the sun clears the ridge to the southeast, it's pouring onto a south-west facing terrace that stays warm well into the afternoon. This is what 581 meters above sea level actually feels like — not a postcard, but a cold nose and hot coffee and nowhere you'd rather be. The chalet sits on Åsveien in one of Trøndelag's most accessible yet genuinely quiet mountain areas. Meråker is the kind of place that Norwegians know well but international buyers are only just discovering — an hour by road from Trondheim Airport (Værnes), with a train station just 17 minutes from the door. You're not trading convenience for wilderness here. You're getting both. The main cabin was built in 1968 and thoroughly rebuilt and extended in 2013. That renovation did something important: it preserved the cabin's honest, timber-framed character while adding the things that make a property actually liveable — proper insulation, modern electrics, running water, and a bathroom with underfloor heating. Too many mountain properties of this era still have one foot in the past. This one made the full crossing. Inside, the open-plan living room and kitchen runs to 39 square meters, which sounds like a number until you're standing under the high ceiling watching late-afternoon light slide across the mountains through windows that take up most of the south-facing wall. The fireplace anchors the living area — a wood-burner, not decorative — and on a November evening it earns its place. The kitchen is fitted with white cabinetry, a solid wood worktop, and integrated appliances. No ... click here to read more

Picture this: you wake up on a Saturday morning in late June, slide open the terrace door, and the Oslofjord is right there — silver-grey turning gold as the sun climbs over the Østfold islands. The air smells of pine resin and salt. Somewhere down on Torødveien a neighbor is heading to the beach with a kayak on a trailer. This is what mornings look like at Torødveien 78. Torød sits on the western side of the Oslofjord, tucked into the coastal municipality of Færder and Tønsberg — a stretch of shoreline that Norwegians have quietly treasured for generations. It's not a tourist hotspot in the showy sense. It's the kind of place where the same families have been coming every summer since the 1960s, where kids still fish off the rocks, and where the pace of life drops about three gears the moment you turn off the main road. If you've been searching for a genuine Norwegian hytte experience — not a glossy ski resort package, but the real thing — this is where you find it. The cabin itself dates from the late 1960s and wears its age honestly and well. Solid wood floors, panelled walls, exposed ceiling beams — these aren't decorative choices made by a designer, they're original details that have simply lasted because they were built to last. A new kitchen went in during 2012 and it's practical and bright without trying too hard, with enough counter space to actually cook a proper meal rather than just reheat something. The living room is genuinely spacious for a cabin of this scale — room for a sofa, a dining table, and a woodburning fireplace that earns its keep during those crisp October weekends when the light goes low and amber and you don't want to leave. Three bedrooms in total, spread thoughtfully across the main cabi ... click here to read more

Step outside on a July morning in Luftjok and the air hits differently — cool, clean, faintly carrying the smell of river water and pine resin. The Tana River glints through the treeline a short walk away, and the sun, which barely sets this time of year, has already been up for hours. That's the daily reality of owning a chalet at Austertanaveien 626. Not a fantasy. The actual morning. This three-bedroom chalet sits on a generous 2,329 square metre plot just 7 kilometres from Tana bru in the heart of Finnmark, Norway's vast northernmost county. Built in 2000 and kept in genuinely good condition, the 98-square-metre main cabin is compact enough to heat and manage easily, but spacious enough that a family of five doesn't get on each other's nerves after three rainy days in a row. That's a real consideration up here, and the layout handles it well. The ground floor opens through a practical entrance hall — somewhere to shed muddy boots and waders after a morning on the river — into an open-plan living room and kitchen that forms the social core of the house. Large windows pull in the light, and in Finnmark's endless summer, there's a lot of it. A fireplace anchors the sitting area; come October when the birch forests go gold and the temperatures start to bite, you'll be glad it's there. Two bedrooms and a combined bathroom and laundry room round out the ground level. Upstairs, a loft lounge gives you a quieter retreat — a reading nook, a place to put the kids, a spot to sit with a coffee and watch the light change over the wilderness outside. The third bedroom sits up here too, giving the property a natural separation between sleeping areas. What sets this property apart from a typical cabin offering is the infrastructu ... click here to read more

Pull on your boots at the door and ski straight into 100 kilometers of groomed trails. That's the reality of mornings at this three-bedroom Norwegian mountain chalet in Veggli — a proper, no-fuss cabin sitting 850 meters above sea level at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac on Søre Vorsetkroken, where the only sound after snowfall is the creak of pine trees and, if you're lucky, the distant knock of a woodpecker working through the bark. This is Søre Vegglifjell. Not a resort, not a development — an established, authentic Norwegian cabin community where families have been coming for generations. The nearest trailhead is 350 meters from your front door. The nearest neighbor is far enough away that you won't hear them. And the road stays clear all year, which matters more than people realize until the first time they try to reach a Norwegian mountain cabin in November with a car full of kids and gear. Inside, the 76-square-meter layout does what good cabin architecture is supposed to do: it makes every meter count. Walk in and the wood-burning stove in the living room immediately does the emotional heavy lifting. It's that kind of room — windows framing the mountains to the west and northwest, the light changing through the afternoon from sharp and white in winter to long and golden in July, when the Norwegian summer stays bright until almost midnight. The open plan means the kitchen, dining area, and living space all flow together, which is exactly what you want when eight people are coming in from a ski day simultaneously, wet jackets piling up, something warm on the stove. The kitchen is sensible and complete — stove, fridge, microwave, all included. A bar counter separates it from the dining space, which opens directly o ... click here to read more

Picture this: it's a Saturday morning in February, the kind where the sky over Bortelid turns that particular shade of pale blue that only happens at 588 meters above sea level. You pull open the curtains in the living room at Panoramavegen 43 and the ski slopes are right there — not a postcard version, not a distant smudge on the horizon, but genuinely right there, close enough to watch your kids carve their first proper turns. The coffee's on. The underfloor heating has already done its job. You're not rushing anywhere. That's the daily reality this three-bedroom Norwegian mountain chalet delivers, and it does so at a price point that would buy you a parking space in Oslo. Bortelid, in the municipality of Åseral in Vest-Agder county, has earned a quiet kind of loyalty among Norwegian families who've been coming here for generations. It's not a flashy resort — there are no overpriced fondue restaurants or designer ski shops — but that's precisely what makes it work. The alpine ski center sits within walking distance of the cabin, and the network of groomed cross-country trails starts practically at the garden boundary. In winter, the whole plateau becomes one continuous outdoor playground: downhill runs for beginners and confident intermediates, lit trails for evening ski sessions when the temperature drops and the stars appear, and a community atmosphere where you actually recognize faces at the café in the new central building near the base area. The cabin itself dates to 1979 and has been kept in genuinely good condition — this isn't a renovation project dressed up in optimistic language. The interior layout is sensible and well-used: an entrance hallway that takes the ski boots and wet jackets, a bathroom with un ... click here to read more

Picture this: early morning at Trevatn, the lake so still it mirrors the pine forest on the opposite bank. You step out onto the terrace in wool socks, coffee in hand, and the only sound is the occasional knock of a woodpecker somewhere deep in the trees behind the cabin. This is what you bought. Not a postcard. The real thing. Built in 2023 and sitting on a private 1,664 square metre plot along Ringstadvegen in the small community of Fall, Søndre Land, this compact log cabin is one of the more honest things you can own in Norway. No grand claims, no fluff — just good timber construction, a wood-burning stove that heats the place in under twenty minutes, and a boat place on the water that gets used from ice-out in late April right through to the first frost. At 167,000 EUR, it's among the most accessible entry points into genuine Norwegian lake cabin ownership you'll find on the market today. The main structure covers 23 square metres of efficiently arranged interior. Open-plan by necessity and by design, the living area doubles as a dining and gathering space, with large windows framing the lake and the ridgeline beyond. Late afternoon light in July slants through those windows at an angle that makes the whole room glow amber. The wood stove sits at the heart of it — a cast-iron Jøtul, the kind you find in every serious Norwegian hytte — and in October, when the birch leaves turn and the air has that particular sharpness, you'll understand exactly why this culture has always been built around fire and water. The separate annex is where this property earns its character. It houses a proper sauna — not a decorative one, but the kind you heat up for an hour before you go in, the kind where the löyly (that hit of steam w ... click here to read more

Step out onto the south-facing terrace at seven in the morning, coffee in hand, and the Spind peninsula spreads out in front of you — still water, pine-covered islands, and a sky that turns pink and gold over the Lista flatlands before the rest of Norway wakes up. This is what 100 meters from the sea actually feels like. Not a marketing line. A daily reality. Bjørnevågsveien 268 sits in Spind, one of the quieter corners of Farsund municipality on Norway's southwest coast — an area locals call Sørlandet, the sun coast. And the name earns it. This stretch of coastline logs more sunshine hours than almost anywhere else in the country, and the chalet's orientation captures nearly all of them. The 115 square meters of wraparound terrace isn't a design afterthought; it's the main event from May through September, when you're eating grilled mackerel outside at nine in the evening under a sky that refuses to go dark. Built in 1986 and kept in genuinely good condition, the chalet covers 69 square meters across a smart, practical layout. Three bedrooms sleep the family or a group of friends without anyone feeling like they drew the short straw. The living room is anchored by a wood-burning stove that earns its keep the moment October arrives — there's something about the smell of birch smoke drifting through an open window on a grey autumn afternoon that makes you understand why Norwegians refuse to give up their hytter even as the temperature drops. Large windows pull the landscape inside, framing the water and the green hills beyond. Electric heating backs up the stove through the shoulder months, so this isn't a place you abandon after the summer crowds thin out. The kitchen is open to the living and dining area, which matte ... click here to read more
