Guesthouse vacation rentals in Scandinavia

I cannot recommend this place highly enough. The view from the Ice House immediately pulled us in. We probably could have spend the whole trip just looking out the front windows. The flat itself is well-appointed and comfortable. As others have noted, there are beautiful hikes close by. Right behind the Ice House, there is a short hike up a hill, where you can sit on a bench and take in the scenery. It’s an easy drive to Bergen and works as a home base for trips further afield as well. Per provides a booklet with many recommendations for things to do. Per is an excellent host who went well beyond the call of duty. We got in late, after the shops were closed, and Per kindly provided us with bread, jam, and sausage to get us through. Later in the trip, we got a flat tire, and Per spent his morning helping us get that taken care of. He showed us kindnesses we will not forget. If you are planning a trip to the Bergen area, book your stay at the Ice House. You’ll be glad you did.

My family and I had a wonderful time staying at Are Abraham’s home! The location was peaceful and beautiful. We were surrounded by lovely views of the misty mountains and fjord. The house had a lovely patio and yard. My daughters particularly enjoyed playing on the swing set. The space worked nicely for our group of six — me, my husband, our three daughters (ages 2, 4 and 6) and my sister. We found the house easily with Google Maps, and check-in was very simple. Everything in the house was easy to find and use. The oven and washer were in good condition. Before our arrival Are was responsive to all my questions. His recommendations for things to do were wonderful. My family really enjoyed the Loen Skylift (only 8 minutes away) and seeing Briksdalsbreen. Are was proactive in making up a cot for my two year old and letting us know his mother was available to help while he was out of town for work. (We didn’t have any issues.) I would highly recommend Are’s house and Loen!

Stunning location and views. Great base for exploring the region.

We had an absolutely fantastic stay! The accommodations were perfect, but what really made the trip special was the owner, Kajsa. Her kindness and attention to detail were truly heartwarming. It's rare to encounter someone so genuinely caring and hospitable. I wish more people were like Kajsa—she's truly one of a kind! Highly recommended for anyone looking for a memorable and welcoming experience! 😊

we loved the cabin, it is well maintained and clean. The area is so peaceful and calm.

I loved so much this beautiful little hideaway. I felt instantly at peace when I arrived to the cottage and saw the ocean. The inside of the cottage was super cute, cozy and functional. The couch and bed were both perfect to rest on and the sauna gave out most soft and humide löyly (when you cast water to the hot stove). I also took several swims in the ocean. The water was still icy cold but I felt like a newborn when I came out of the water and took a deep breath in. I hope to be back soon. Thank you so much! It was a needed pause.

Britta was more than accommodating. Even after we took a wrong turn while site seeing while on the way to their home, and it became very late, she and her husband welcomed us warmly. We were met with beautiful and peaceful surroundings, much like the farm that my great-grandparents must have awoken to every morning. We could have watched the mama and baby sheep all day. We wish we could have stayed longer. It is a vacation just being there. Thank you! Thank you!

Great stay in a cozy apartment in the middle of Tvedestrand. Maja and Egil are very pleasant, flexible and helpful in finding their way and facilitating. Thanks for a very nice stay, would love to come back :)

What a place, the view is spectacular! Close to the train station you will be in the city in no time, the place is very quiet and beautiful, very functional! You will have everything you need in the kitchen and bathroom! I HIGHLY recommend Tom place!

Very nice accommodation and great host.

Even tho it was located in the garden of the owner it felt pretty private. The surrounding area is peaceful and lovely. Easily accessible by car. The cabin was super clean. It was smaller than expected - for two people totally fine tho.

We have enjoyed staying in the annex. Lovely peaceful and quiet. There was everything we needed on our 4-day vacation. It was also easy to cycle into the center and back again along the many cycle paths. A 15-20 minute walk. There was also plenty of space for parking the car.

A great little guest house, very stylish and with a lot of attention to detail. We were greeted by a personal welcome and felt absolutely comfortable at Lykke. Perfect for our short stopover. Always happy to come back :)

everything is good! booked at short notice on our bike tour and everything is perfect!

We had a great stay at David’s cabin, such a welcoming host and a beautiful and peaceful spot.

We felt completely at home with Peter – his place is a true oasis to unwind and relax. The cabin radiates pure Swedish lifestyle: authentic, beautifully designed, and furnished with incredible love and attention to detail. The gorgeous lake right in front of the house amazed us every single day – morning swims, and a Jacuzzi with a stunning view of the water in the evening… it honestly doesn’t get any better. Peter also gave us fantastic recommendations – from small excursions to insider tips for restaurants. Our absolute highlight was visiting the island of “Sandhamn” – an unforgettable experience! 🇸🇪 This place is a true haven. 🫶🏼❤️ If you’re looking to disconnect and experience the real Sweden, this is it. Can’t recommend it highly enough! 🙏🏻

Choose this place if you want to get away from the city but still stay close. You have to take the boat for grocery shopping - how cool is that! Nice place out in nature. Recommended!

Mette was sweet and welcoming throughout the stay. She often asked if there was anything missing or if there was anything she could help with.

Beautiful countryside. Perfect place for walks and lots of bird activity!

We were on site for a week and felt very comfortable right from the beginning. The place is small but nice! The sauna is great if you come out of the cold. Janne gave us good tips for our hikes and even showed us reindeer. It's all within walking distance. You are very central, but still have the feeling of being in the forest. The small kitchen was completely sufficient for us to prepare our breakfast or heat something with you. Tour providers (e.g. for snowmobiling) right around the corner.

Incredibly idyllic little farm at the end of the gravel road surrounded by fields. Quiet and peaceful. Fantastically nice reception by the host's brother-in-law. Super nice service with breakfast. Have nothing negative to say, so incredibly grateful. We will stay here again!

Small modern cabin ideal for 2 people, walking distance to Träslövsläge kitespot, with possibility to charge the car. Everything was clean. Only downside is the sun does on the veranda goes away a little early. Nothing was missing, overall recommend.

a really nice cabin where one feels at home. the owner is really friendly and convenient.

Everything was great, as always! Like this place!
