Family-friendly vacation rentals in Balsfjord Municipality

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.

What an amazing location! The cabin was great, and we thoroughly enjoyed the Northern Lights in between breaks from the sauna!. This cabin is located in the same fjord where one of the most incredible stories in history took place. The story of Jan Baalsrud is absolutely incredible, and Furuflaten, Hotell Savoy, and Manndalan are all a stone's throw from this cabin! I strongly recommend reading "We Die Alone" by David Howarth, or watch the 12th Man (but the book is better). Long story short, this cabin is perfectly situated to experience all that Arctic Norway has to offer.

Beautiful location with comfortable living area. Hot tub, fireplace worked great. Igloo looked cool, may want to add that option (if possible). It was cloudy while we were there, but the northern lights we did see seemed to want to be right over this house. Recommend cooking own meals (we did), resturants can be far. We did travel a couple hours away to hike Sukkertoppen trail in Hamn. Very cool coastal trail/hike. In winter recommend spikes. Challenging hike. Then visited Gryllefjord for dinner. Amazing mountain/fjord views. Good fish and friendly folks.

An absolutely successful stay in Norway. Very friendly and uncomplicated communication from start to finish. We felt completely comfortable. The house is a dream to unplug. Quiet location with a great view. Sauna, hot tub or a cozy fire in the fireplace help with this. We did not miss anything in the house. We would come back any time, it was really great. Thank you for everything.

Amazing house to rent, we have rented this now for many years. Its allways perfect for us. Thank you Monica. We allready looking forward for the next time 🥰

Beatiful place, very good location. Nice and helpful owner.

We are from Singapore.. We chose Silje House as it was quiet away from city!! The house have everything we need and is very very cosy. We get to immerse ourselves in nature and its very peaceful. We had no problem driving up the slope in winter. And we managed to see the Northern Lights almost everyday when we were there..we can see them through our Naked eyes..u can enjoy from yr bedroom window too. Silje is very responsive and helpful. She tries her very best to assist n advise. We really appriciate it so much. We felt right at home when we were there. Thank you so much, Silje.

It was a very nice stay with Bård! You dont have to fear to be lost in nowhere, since you have Bård living right next door and help is always only a short way! (:

The cabin was as we expected and it served us well on our ski trip. The kitchen and the living room creates a nice spacious area to hang out at the evening.

Great place to stay! Very clean, well situated, beautiful views on Northern Lights from the bedroom. The communication was great & easy. Totally recommend!

Great Cabin in a stunning location perfect for ski touring holiday

We were 11 people and came to go ski touring. The house is superbly furnished for a large group of skiers with a practical drying room in the basement, a spacious and well-equipped kitchen-living room as well as two large bathrooms and two toilets. The hot tub with beautiful views of the fjord was used a lot. There are numerous ski touring opportunities nearby. The northern lights were fascinating. Hovard always responded immediately and helpfully to questions. We will recommend the house.

Nice stay and great accommodation. Recommended!
