This is a typical traditional cabin where Norwegians will escape the pressures of daily life and relax, within driving distance of Oslo's airports, surrounded by lakes and forests, the perfect retreat in all seasons.
There are three cabins alone on the banks of a beautiful and tranquil lake, in summer it is surprisingly warm and there is nothing better than taking a dip in the crystal clear water after a day hiking in the forest and mountains of Telemark.
In winter the area is transformed in to a magical world of snow covered hills and ice frosted pine trees; the lake may well be frozen (why not try your hand at ice fishing!) but your cabin will be warm and snug with a roaring log fire and the smell of woodsmoke in the air.
