Family-friendly vacation rentals in Mjøsa

We used the house with 2 adults and our dogs. The cozy yet upscale amenities made it easy for us to feel comfortable right away. With moderate winter temperatures, it was not so often necessary to light the fireplace; prepared firewood would have been available. The underfloor heating has kept the house at a very pleasant temperature. We had our own ski equipment with us, but Svein had also offered us his equipment and that of his wife. Very nice contact with Svein.

We enjoyed our brief stay at Kristian’s apartment. It was a bit tricky to find the apartment and it’s up five sets of stairs (we left luggage in the car!) but we appreciated the thorough instructions Kristian gave us when he greeted us upon arrival (we weren’t used to meeting the host - that’s not really done in the US). Amenities were nice and we’d definitely stay again!

Nice place, easy to communicate with the host. Will gladly return

Marthe 's place was lovely. We stayed there for one week and we had a great time. Grocery stores and restaurants just one minute walk away. The subway station was also one minute away and the Central S station was about 5 minutes away. The bus stop to Bygdoy (museums) was about 2 minutes away. The neighborhood was very lively in the evenings with many people outside. We felt completely safe. The apartment itself was large and clean with funky art decorations, perfect for a family with enough space for everyone. The wifi was very fast. We enjoyed sitting on the terrace and enjoying the rooftop views. Marthe was very kind and communication was fast. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this place. Thanks Marthe for everything.

Fantastic great cabin! We enjoyed ourselves a lot during the weekend, in beautiful surroundings. The cabin had everything we needed, and there was a feeling of luxury about the cabin. Very sad to leave, and no doubt that we all want to come back here!!

We enjoyed staying at Christoffer's place for a few days. The apartment is well equipped and located close to public transport and grocery stores. Staying here it allows you to experience living as a local. Christoffer sent us a lot of tips about Oslo, was very polite and communicated very well. We would stay again at his place when visiting Oslo.

From the start, we were very well received. Tomasz was ready to greet us when we arrived, so we were in really safe hands. He just reviewed the amenities with us and everything was really nice! We had an absolutely perfect stay at Tomasz's place and our trip couldn't have been better! We will definitely be back!

Fantastic stay, right on the ski slope! The host responded quickly and was incredibly nice! Got great help if there was anything we needed! The location couldn't be better! The place also looked just like in the pictures!!

Good visit, nothing to add! Cottage was warm even in winter.

We were very happy with our stay at Paul’s place. It was a very nice apartment in a great location and great views. We would stay here again without hesitation.

We had an amazing time! The accommodation is warm, super well-equipped, we did not lack anything, The exterior is beautiful and peaceful!! Thank you for everything!

I had an incredible stay at Ida's place! Communication was quick and helpful and the apartment was sparkling clean and very comfortable. Location was perfect – close to public transportation and local attractions. I especially appreciated the small touches like the welcome snacks and a guide to nearby restaurants. I would definitely recommend Ida as a host and hope to stay again in the future!

It’s a very quiet place, great place to relax and still be connected to the city. Comfortable and liveable. Great place for travels with small animals as well.

Both are incredibly nice and friendly. They helped us at all times and even prepared the grill for us. Our daughter was allowed to play in her garden and her lake access without problems and we felt at home from the beginning. The accommodation is perfect for couples or small families. Very clean and there are a lot of things available. It is very idyllically located on the lake. Thank you very much for everything and maybe see you again someday.

We had a wonderful time at the cabin. It was cozy and warm, even in the winter. Thove was a caring host, always quick to respond and offer helpful suggestions for things to do. We would recommend it for a getaway.

Very nice stay for a long weekend in May/June. Cabin with a very nice solution and plenty of space in one with nature. Beautiful area, and very well equipped and cozy cabin. Nice and easy contact with the host, Håkon. We would love to come back another time. Øystein

We had such a wonderful stay here. The house is stunning, had everything we could need and the hosts were lovely. They helped with local recommendations as well as making sure we had all the information we needed for the house. Not to mention the gift of some mixture for us to make traditional waffles! The train station is just a few minutes' walk. The kids particularly loved the pool and table tennis table, and I really enjoyed the beautiful walks that are possible from the property. All in all a five star stay.

Fantastic place with lots to do for the kids. Short driving distance to several nice attractions, very peaceful and private pool. We had a great time

We had a very pleasant stay with two adults and two children. Awesome house, clean and welcoming, all amenities. The location was quiet and peaceful and very lovely with a pool in the heat :) Pia responded quickly and was very service minded. We would gladly came back :)

A great villa with many accommodation options. Especially great: the two huge Lego boxes 😍 It took some getting used to that the two bathrooms have separate entrances, but are only separated from each other by a shower curtain. However, this was also described in the property description. Oyvind was also helpful in finding a ski school or recommending restaurants! All in all a great place to stay. Highly recommended!

Beautiful apartment with fantastic view overlooking the harbour area. Easy walk to Opera House, and then into town. Great communication from hosts and flexibility with check-in when our flight was cancelled. Thanks for a great stay!

Fantastic nice cabin, space and not least a view! Extremely satisfied with our stay. Thank you :)

We stayed here for four nights in May, 2023. The place is in a relatively new building and everything in the place was effectively brand-new. The location was a little bit off the main area, but it was a short walk to downtown so that really wasn't an issue. The place was clean, comfortable, and we would definitely stay here again.

We were a large family group gathering for our first time in Oslo. The island location is gorgeous and the house is both beautiful and well suited to a family group. Catherine was proactive in getting our groceries delivered so we were comfortable despite no stores on the island. We also had free use of their boat which allowed us to arrange our schedule as we liked. Pacing with our large family group meant accounting for two shuttle trips to get all of us across to the mainland. The 31 bus line was close and frequent for getting us into Oslo. We bought a week pass but no one ever seemed to check the bus ticket. The house itself was well equipped with everything kitchen, fireplace and gorgeous outdoor space. It was a little cool and rainy for the pool but the hanging outdoor bed was a favorite spot to hang out.
