What Magical Mystical or Romantic about the above image.

We have a cabin with wood burning sauna : see above, approx 1 hour twenty minutes drive south from Tromsø.

We can supply transport from airport to cabin and return for 2500 Norwegian Krona .

We recommend a three night stay but for the more hardy folk 5 to 7 days are recommended.

The cabin has solar power in summer months only from end of May to August.

It has a wood burning sauna and hot tub and candle or L E D lighting no electricity.

It's absolutely perfect for viewing the Aurora September to end of March which can be seen most night's directly above the cabin ,when skies are clear and there is some solar activity from the sun.

The area is a haven for summer or winter activities, Fresh and salt water fishing ,Sea Trout from early April , Wildlife and landscape photography ,hiking ,ski , snow shoeing or snow boarding or just chilling out around the cabin and area.

The cabin is suitable for supervised children under 10 years its a wonderland for older kids.

The cabin is not suited for the faint hearted and there is a certain level of fitness to walk the steep path often covered in deep snow through the small birch forrest to reach the cabin.

It's an approx 100 meter gradual steep walk through the birch woods from roadside to cabin which is not suitable for a suitcases.

There is a sledge and rucksack at entrance to birch woods which you can use.

A rucksack is highly recommended for going up and down to the cabin area rather than a suitcase.

We do have 2 or 3 rucksacks that you may use , if needed they are usually kept on the cabin porch.

At the cabin there will be warm all in one snow suits , boots, hats , gloves , snow shoes , skis , ski shoes , snow board and boots , sledge , crampons , please state your size of shoes when booking .

While in doors there are plenty of ways to amuse your self , telescope , binoculars, acoustic guitars, harmonica , tambourine , board games , playing cards , numerous books, dab radio , and plenty of books for you to read if needed , or just chill around wood burning stove arm in arm telling stories .

The scenery around this area is fantastic , with trails all around the natural birch wood forests that surrounds you.

And if driving then theres no end to the magnificent fjords that make up Tromsø region.

The light in this area is unique and its a photographers dream summer and winter.

We are directly under the Auroral Oval and if there is some solar activity the Aurora can be seen ALMOST EVERY NIGHT that the skies are clear enough , directly above the cabin.

If you are lucky there is an abundance of wild life to be seen including Humpback and killer whales , dolphins , seals , otters, moose , reindeer , golden and white tailed sea eagles , and millions of wild migratory birds that return each year , too many to mention.

We have bird feeders around the cabin which attract some VERY RARE BIRDS on there migration journeys.

The Cabin area has a living room with wood burning stove where all the water is heated continually.

It has two kitchen area's, one in side , one out side, summer and winter.

There is mobile phone charging all year round and a reception can be found in various areas of the properties.

All cooking is with bottled gas, same again, in side ,and out side. summer and winter.

The main bed room has a double bed and cupboard space for clothing.

The smaller bed room has two bunk beds and small storage area's.

All areas heat up easily once the wood burning stove is going.

You can use as much wood as you like.

The sauna area has a double bed settle where you can sleep if you wish and adequate cupboards for clothing etc.

The sauna and hot tub are both powered with a wood burning oven.

Hot tub will be closed during the winter as all water supply freezes from November until mid April.

All drinking water will be kept inside the main cabin in 5 gallon drums ,so it does not freeze.

There is plenty of area's to relax and just watch time go bye.

Instructions for every thing is available at the cabin.

If you have your own car then there will be no introductory attendance .

If you have asked for transport to and from the cabin then the owner shows you around ,they will leave and you after arrival and you will be on your own until your departure date.

Please follow all the rules and regulations and have a safe and wonderful time at my cabin.

The cabin was built in the sixties and we have kept it that way , and we try to create that feeling of surviving in a wilderness area ,which is not far wrong ,even although everything needed for your stay is at the cabin.

There is no electricity in the cabins in winter.

And no running water from October to end of April.

Solar power is in summer months only.

It would spoil the beauty of the wilderness and that feeling of being out in the middle of no where.

There is enough solar power for mobile phone charging and a reception on most mobile networks.

We are aurora hunters, guides and photographers and when the northern lights are dancing over your heads at the cabin, i guarantee you will be awe struck.

The cabin area is still very dark with minimum light pollution as we call it , the light pollution is growing like a cancer and very soon there will be no dark areas to view the night skies .

And in summer we have 24 hour day light and that is an experience on its own.

We have parking on road side directly below the cabin.

There is a slight walk up to the cabin around a 100 yards or more .

It entails a steep gradual walk up a hillside through the birch tree's which could be covered in snow in the winter months.

A good level of fitness is required for this rural winter wonderland.

Temperatures can fall to -20 in this area and all outside water supply will be frozen all winter.

Hence we use the wood stove to thaw out any frozen water in the winter months.

If you do not have a car and would like us to pick you up and return to the airport please state this when booking.

There is a fee for this service.

There is a daily bus service from Tromsø but entails at least 3 bus changes to get there ,please state if you would be using this ,and we will run you through the procedure.(Not recommended though)

The cabin is self sufficient and all groceries should be brought from Tromsø.

There is a small super market about 10 kilometres away and out of walking distance

The whole idea of the cabin is its remote location with adjoining farm land in the distance and scattered cabins around the thick birch woods in the area, and thats what makes this cabin location so unique. and an unforgettable Experience.

Hope to see you soon so i can share my Heaven on Earth under the auroral oval with you.

Marianne.

Reviews :

By renting the little cabin, Marianne and George open the door to their little paradise. In their place you will feel love, real nature and one of the most beautiful landscape ever, even the drive to and from Tromso is breathtaking.

For people seeking a true experience in nature this is the perfect place.

The cabin is remote, a step back in time, no mod cons and this is it’s beauty. A cosy, warm little haven in the beautiful wild.

It is well thought out - all the instructions given by Marianne and George, and noted around the cabin ensure your stay is seamless and answers all the questions you might have - it is important to listen to them, especially as you are in the middle of the wild, responsible for your own warmth and staying in someone’s home.

You are stepping back in time, at one with nature. This is a magical place.

Marianne and George are kind and welcoming people. In the middle of an area flooded with guides and tourists and impersonal experiences they are a true find.

Passionate about nature and the aurora, experts in the region (Marianne is a local).

If you’re looking for other experiences whilst staying in the area - they are the perfect people to ask (especially aurora hunting).

Going to the cabin is a truly unique experience.

We are leaving with stars in our eyes and will definitely return.

The cabin is in a great location in the woods - a short walk from the road. There is a beautiful view of the lake from the window and a short walk up the hill behind the cabin will provide a magnificent view of the local Fjords and Mountains. It was the place we spent hours at night watching the Northern Lights. The cabin itself is basic but very comfortable with a fire that heats it and the water that is needed. Candles provide the atmosphere. The sauna is up the hill a little and is lovely to relax in. Marianne was a wonderful host and arranged for our transport to and from the cabin - stopping at the supermarket on the way for supplies. A couple of tips - bring rucksacks for the trip up the hill and also be prepared to enjoy the extremes of nature as the cabin has all you need but you will need to be prepared to live with the basics while you are there.

TRANSPORT

We offer a pick up and drop off service, to the cabin for 2500 nok return.

Unfortunately we cannot transport you anywhere during your stay here as we are very busy with other day and nightly tours.

A hired car is recommended for your stay at the cabin as the journey from Tromsø is one hour and twenty minutes away with a trip through the tunnel under the ocean.

A car lets you see and explore the pristine area that surrounds in both summer and winter.

Cabin highly recommended for the romantic couple or small 1/2 child family.

AURORA ACTIVITY

We cannot guarantee any aurora activity or any clear weather.(really)

The aurora can appear any time but its all up too what ever the activity is on the sun on the previous days past.

The cabin is excellent for viewing auroral activity when ever and the skies are clear enough for viewing ,and if there is activity as stated above..

Aurora season is from September to end of March then the skies are to bright to view any details , although the Aurora is still present all summer long.

We offer nightly aurora tours from Tromsø CITY CENTRE to our selected area’s at 1500 percentage per every night and we had a 97 % rate of viewing the aurora last season show me an other country that has that percentage there is none.
