Why it's special

The cottage has a genuine rustic feel, with warm indoor spaces for meals, reading by the stove and relaxed games evenings. Outside, you are just steps from the water for swimming and fishing, with a terrace, barbecue and wide natural surroundings that invite unhurried days. In winter, snowshoe routes and ski terrain are within reach, while Balsfjord’s fjord coast, mountains and waterfalls add to the setting.

About this stay

This cosy cottage in Balsfjord offers a peaceful break in an idyllic lakeside setting, surrounded by unspoilt nature. Inside, the warm rustic atmosphere makes it easy to slow down, whether you are sharing meals, settling in by the wood-burning stove with a book, or spending a relaxed games evening in the living room.

Just outside, the lake is close enough for a refreshing swim or a quiet fishing session, and the terrace is a natural place for breakfast or an evening barbecue. The cottage sits in a secluded spot by the water, with open and covered terrace space and a simple, practical feel that suits easy holiday living.

From here, you can explore the fjord coast at Balsfjord, take in mountain and waterfall views, or visit the rock carvings at Tennes in a striking natural setting. In winter, marked trails invite snowshoe walks, and ski slopes and cross-country trails are a short drive away.
