Family-friendly vacation rentals in Gimsøy

This spot was amazing. We loved cold plunging in the Norwegian sea and also enjoying the sauna and hot tub. Lena was super helpful with us getting set up on the property. Thank you again! ❤️🇨🇦

We had a wonderful time at Sonjas cottage. There are many information and you can take lovely tours in Vesterålen and Lofoten because the cottage is so central. The cottage is very comfortable decorated warm, bright and sunny; it is idyllically quiet and pleasantly close to the water in a beautiful natural area with wonderful views. After swimming in the fjord, the hot pool is really amazing! We highly recommend the cabin!!! Thank you for everything.

We really enjoyed our 3 night stay at Dragon Villa Reine. The house had everything we needed, and some extras. The hot tub felt great after a chilly hike. I would definitely stay there again!

We arrived late at night after a 4 hour drive from Narvik. The next day Cato showed me how to fill and heat the hottub and even took it upon himself to get it up to temp while we were out grocery shopping. That night we enjoyed gazing at the aurora borealis dancing above our heads in the hottub. A couple days later it got rainy and extremely windy preventing us from heating the hottub. As compensation Cato offered us use of his sauna and to take a swim in the sea, which we gladly did. He also gave us a whole cod for free from his fisherman's friend Tom which we used to make typical Norwegian dishes. Cato was extremely helpful and kind, he replied within minutes whenever we needed help or had any questions and he was full of amazing recommendations, as to where to hike and which towns and restaurants to visit. Towards the end of our stay it snowed a lot turning the surroundings into winter wonderland. We were very lucky to see all sides of Norway including the Northern lights!

We absolutely loved the cabin. The view from the living room was breathtaking with the mountains across the water. It was quiet and peaceful. Linda was amazing with recommendations, answering any questions we had and responded quickly. We would recommend her place to any one looking to stay in Lofoten. We were close to beautiful beaches and great restaurants. The cabin felt cozy and like you were right at home.

very cozy house in a nice, calm location

In one word: wonderful. Vladimir's house is a joyful nestled in the heart of the Lofoten, a warm and splendid place in which you will feel comfortable from the first moments. We were not lucky with the weather, but despite that the house offered a great place to stay, rest and enjoy the beauty of the Lofoten. The kitchen is very well-equipped, anyone's dream to cook and the breathtaking view. We were able to enjoy a little bit of the outdoor heated bath and it was really exceptional, I recommend 100% to book it. It's not too much work and once you've done it, all you have to do is enjoy! Just be careful to read the photo captions, you'll find additional information (we didn't pay attention). As for Vladimir, he was very kind and responsive throughout the trip, really this house was a huge favorite! Thanks for everything!

The place is truly amazing and the host is super friendly and responsive. The view is spectacular. Also the flexible check-in was very much apprecited. Thank you again for a wonderful stay!

Really nice place. The apartment is actually nicer than what the pictures show. We slept there for one night - and everything was just as it should be.

Rudi was a nice host. The place was how it was described. Beautiful surroundings. Charming and practical house.

Beautiful stay, ideally located in the middle of nature, facing the sea. The view from the living room is fabulous. Very central for visiting the Lofoten.

My wife made the reservation and she accidently put in the wrong dates and we were not able to edit the dates on the website. My wife called the host and she immediatly straightened everything out. It's a great apartment but you need to realize that it's a loft apartment with the usual sloping ceilings where you have to duck down every time you come near a wall. I'm a slow learner and I must have bonked my head a couple dozen times. Also, the toilet is placed under a sloping ceiling so it's difficult for a man to pee standing up. But we really appreciated the lightning-fast internet service and the well set up kitchen and washing-drying machine. The heated floors really helped to dry out all our gear from the all-day rain and wind. It's a quiet neighborhood and relatively close to grocery stores. And it's very tastefully decorated and thoughfully set up. We liked the place.

I had a great experience in Lofoten. Beautiful scenery and Ivar’s place provides comfort, privacy and fully equipped with necessities. If you are lucky you would be able to catch the Northern Light right above the mountain located just across the water. The Sunset right infront of your porch is simply amazing as well. Ivar as a Host is also very responsive and accommodating. Provided local suggestion and very helpful. Highly recommend !

We had an amazing stay at Kine's place! Kine was such a friendly and responsive host, making sure everything was perfect for our stay. The atmosphere of the house was fantastic, and it comfortably fit all five of us. The location is stunning, with incredible views right in front of the jetty. The home appliances were also top-notch, making our stay even more convenient and comfortable. To top it off, we were able to watch the northern lights from the yard – an unforgettable experience! Highly recommend this place for anyone looking to enjoy a peaceful and scenic getaway.

Anne Kristin’s place was the perfect place for a two day stay, beautiful surroundings and privacy. Anne gave us clear instructions about check in, check out and how things like radiators and kitchen work, totally recommend it

Jarl is fantastic. Book this place instantly if you’re going to Lofoten.

It was the perfect base camp. We felt like we were at home and could drive to any hikes or villages nearby. The rooms were clean, and the kitchen was fully equipped; we enjoyed cooking there. We also had a great time kayaking on the lake. Lisa responded immediately. If we had any problems, she sent us help, and we felt in good hands. All in all, we had an amazing time and were amazed by the aurora borealis right above our heads at the house.

Not a big deal but the shower knob is missing :)

What a wonderful apartment! It has a great location, overlooking the water and a short walk to anywhere in Svolvaer. It has a well equipped kitchen, excellent wifi, comfortable bed, spacious living area, and was super clean. Lisbeth is such a lovely, friendly and responsive host. We would highly recommend staying here. Thank you for the lukonberries!

The place was as described and given that it's a cabin beside the waters, there was complete privacy on top of an amazing waterfront view. There was also space to park a car just right outside the cabin, which makes checking-in and out that much easier. Cabin can easily sleep up to 4 people so it is value for money if you have that many people. Rolf-Helge also gave clear instructions for self check-in. Highly recommended!

Svein is excellent host and a lovely person. He was always available at the end of the phone, even till late when our flight was delayed. Svein place is pristine and exquisitively decorated and comfortable. Location was extremely beautiful next to the ferry terminal. we would come to stay again definitely ☺️

A dream place to live forever

This was our favorite place on our Lofoten trip! Amazing view, cozy apartment, very good transport and a supermarket within 2 minutes walking distance. We would definitely come back! :)

Very relaxing, soothing accommodation. Beautiful decor! If you want to discover Skrova, the accommodation is ideal. Be careful though, there are only a few ferries a day to reach Svolvær
