“The holiday home is really very cozily furnished, nothing is missing. The location by the lake is fantastic; we spent 2 weeks in the house with our dog and were able to fully enjoy the time, plus we were lucky enough to meet our landlord; thumbs up, very nice and accommodating.”

5.0/5

“A stay to never forget! The lodge is very luxurious, it really lacks nothing. The interior is tasteful, there is a sauna, jacuzzi, bathtub. The beds are very good. And the view from the lodge: amazing! The peace, nature! A beautiful environment that invites you to enjoy. Hope to come back there again.”

“Stayed for a week in this beautiful lodge in August. Located in nature by a lake with a breathtaking view. In terms of comfort and furnishings, it is a luxury villa. Spacious, beautiful and luxuriously furnished with sauna and jacuzzi. Really enjoyed the beautiful surroundings. Highly recommended if you love peace and nature but want to stay comfortably and luxuriously.”

Fall in love with Norway

It rarely happens on the first morning. It's somewhere around day three — a swim before breakfast, a fire still going from the night before, a silence that stops feeling unfamiliar. It's worth knowing what else is waiting before you travel.

A floating sauna, with a view

A 45-minute drive from Vrådal, on the still water of Lake Bandak, sits Soria Moria — a wooden sauna built to mirror the mountains around it. Two hours, heat included, the view non-negotiable.

A stay for every season

Long summer weeks by Lake Nisser, peaceful spring breaks as the birches turn green, or ski weekends followed by a relaxing sauna. Discover our seasonal favourites: places and times of year we’d choose for our own holiday. Find your next getaway, including last-minute availability.

FAQ

All our lodges are in the Vrådal area of Telemark, southern Norway — around Lake Nisser and Vråvatn, about 3 hours south-west of Oslo.

For details on how to get here, check our Contact page. You'll find route suggestions, ferry and public transport tips, and local highlights to help you plan your stay.

Every lodge is fully equipped and prepared before you arrive — a stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, proper heating, and a clean, ready house. Beyond that, each lodge has its own character and extras: many have a sauna, some a hot tub, kayaks or a private beach. Check the individual lodge page for exactly what's included at that property.
