Location and surroundings of object

The holiday cabin is located approximately 13 kilometers north of the town of Lyngdal on a hillside by a small lake surrounded by mountains. The paths are well-developed and signposted.
Unfortunately, the cabin is not suitable for people with physical disabilities due to its hillside location and structural properties.
Lyngdal is a small, tranquil town with about 7,000 residents. There you can find all daily necessities. In the town center, there is a tourist information where valuable tips for leisure activities and many other activities can be inquired about. Also always worth a visit is the indoor pool directly by the Rosfjord.
For day trips, tours to Lindesnes, Mandal, Farsund, Kristiansand, or Stavanger are available. Close by is the Kvåsfossen, an impressive waterfall with a newly constructed salmon ladder.
At the Lysefjord (Rogaland), the Preikestolen and the Kjeragbolten are located. Sturdy footwear and physical fitness are required for both attractions. A travel time of 2 1/2 to 3 hours (one way) should be planned. Also worth visiting is the Mövik cannon museum, near Kristiansand.

A beautiful place, highly recommended!

We were alone in the house for a week and we felt at home right away!
It was simply noticeable how clean and tidy everything was and whatever you needed, it was just there. We also had a few rainy days but even then you can enjoy the beautiful view. The only very small disadvantage and at the same time maybe also an advantage is that there is poor reception with your phone for calling and certainly for the internet, but well, it is also nice not to always be reachable, you rarely experience that anymore, and it helps, besides the beautiful surroundings, also extra to really relax! Especially enjoyed the beautiful sunrises. And it is also lovely to sit outside on the deck on a sunny day! We fished from the boat once, which was super fun, but we didn't catch much; we had more success from the pier, but only caught a few small trout. But that doesn't make it any less enjoyable! ? The owners were friendly and always responded quickly to any questions. I would definitely recommend this house; it's also a nice route to Lyngdal where you can find various supermarkets. You can enjoy touring the area, and a visit to the salmon passage is definitely recommended.

Dreamlike vacation in beautiful surroundings

We were a family with three generations (including two teenagers) and are absolutely thrilled. This first holiday home vacation in Norway was simply fantastic! The house is beautiful, incredibly cozy, and located in a dreamlike setting right by the lake. We lacked nothing; the equipment is top-notch, and there was nothing missing. The host, Mr. Kasten, is always very friendly, very reachable, and helpful. The holiday home is just as described online... and even more beautiful :-)
We can really recommend a break in this beautiful house to everyone. We would (and will definitely) come back anytime.
Thank you very much!

Everything you need for a relaxing holiday in Norway.

We were four with a dog in the holiday home in July 2026. The location is ideal for people seeking peace and scenic beauty. Slightly elevated, you look directly at the clear lake, which has many small trout. Opposite, steep cliffs rise into the sky. A boat is available. You can swim well in the lake - either from your own dock (somewhat muddy ground) or better jump into the water from the cliffs opposite. In the house itself, everything, really everything, is there that one needs - just like at home. We felt very comfortable. The wooden house is very cozy. The TV didn't work, but we didn't miss it either. After a 15-minute drive, you are at the fjord and also in the town of Lyngdal. The river of the same name invites salmon anglers - you can also fish well from the shore in the fjord. The salmon museum is worth a visit, which is also about a 15-minute drive from the holiday home. There you can observe the salmon swimming upstream.

All in all, a wonderful location and a very nice and friendly German landlord.

Pure relaxation! ?

This cabin is a dream. It is located in the middle of the wonderful nature of Norway and invites relaxation with a view of the lake and the mountains. The amenities are top-notch - nothing is missing. No matter what we needed, we found it. The contact with the landlords was great - very friendly, helpful, and nice people. Always available for questions! The cleanliness of the cabin was exceptional. Just a place to feel good and relax. The center of Lyngdal is reachable by car in a few minutes. Some sights of Norway are also reachable in under an hour (e.g. the salmon ladder, Skrelia, Rosfjord, Korsham, Lindesnes (the southernmost lighthouse in Norway))! This cabin is simply a place for everyone. Whether for relaxing, exploring nature, or discovering the culture of Norway - we will definitely come back. Thank you very much for this unforgettable time!

10 days vacation

Our stay was simply paradise. As a couple, we were able to spend a wonderful and relaxing time here. The location of the cabin is ideal for long walks in nature. We especially enjoyed fishing at the opposite lake, which was an exciting and practical experience for us.

The view from the dining table was simply fantastic, almost breathtaking. Waking up every morning to this view was an unforgettable highlight. The little house itself was super equipped and very tidy. We really lacked nothing! From kitchen utensils to cozy blankets, everything one could wish for was available.

We would come back anytime and can recommend this wooden cabin to anyone looking for a break in nature and values comfort and a great location. A true insider tip for couples and nature lovers!

Very beautiful!

The location directly on the rarely traveled access road to a few other houses appealed to us. Due to the elevated position of about 30 steps, we always had a very nice view of and over the lake.
The house itself had a lot of charm for us. Since the owners also spend their holidays there, it looks lively and cozy, there is no lack of household items and supplies. There were groceries, spices, drinks, etc. available, so that in case one arrived empty-handed, there would be food and drink (and of course, you refill...). This, and the fact that even the boats and fishing equipment can be used, requires a great deal of trust in the guests, which one does not want to disappoint. We immediately felt very comfortable. Anyone who thinks that only large hotel beds are the best, does not know about the coziness of narrower, self-built, and, above all, non-creaking bunk beds. The outdoor toilet and weak mobile phone reception (nowadays already an adventure? ...) were of course unusual, but ultimately rather enriching. We could both hike directly from the house and drive a few kilometers to nearby places, peninsulas, fjords, and other sights. It was a super beautiful, relaxing week.

Very attentive landlords, the house was preheated. The equipment was very good, the mattresses could be slightly thicker for people with back problems.

A dream with a lot of calmness.

This accommodation has a lot of charm and does not disappoint in any way. Anyone who books this accommodation knows that they are booking peace in nature. The facilities in the house are more than sufficient and the price-performance ratio is simply top. There is a lot to discover in front of the door or in the surrounding area. This house was the start of our small tour through southern Norway and the start of a fresh love. We can only recommend the accommodation and the country to anyone who is considering getting to know something special. Simply unique!

Beautiful, rustic holiday home

The holiday home is rustic and top furnished. We didn't miss anything. In case of rainy weather, we had a selection of game collections. Arriving and feeling comfortable with a view of the beautiful little lake. The jetty at the lake is very inviting to sit and relax in the sunshine. The path from the parking lot to the house is a bit difficult with luggage, but doable. There is hardly any mobile phone reception, so if you want to switch off completely, it's just right.

Cabin vacation by the lake

The cabin, located on a hillside, is a wonderful place to disconnect from everyday life, enjoy nature and tranquility. Everything has been thought of and we didn't miss anything. The terrace invites you to look out over the lake. With the boats, you can explore the lake or go fishing. Swimming is possible, but it only gets shallow in a few places. There are many great excursion possibilities in the area. It is possible with small children, but not optimally suitable because of the stairs. The landlords make a lot of effort and answer all questions promptly. It can only be recommended and we are happy that we spent our vacation there.

Gladly again :-)

The cottage gets only top marks from us, we wanted for nothing and the accommodation is beautiful! Just like the whole area
Of course, in Norway it has to rain sometimes, otherwise all the waterfalls don't work, but here too we were more lucky than unlucky. Mosquitoes came in the evening but only at the lake and ended all fishing activities, in the cabin insects were not an issue at all.
The children were happy that there was German TV.
The landlady is very nice and reliable, we would love to stay here again!
