Monthly Rentals in Skjelfjorden

Contact to Tanja was friendly and quick. Checkin was easy by use of a key box at the house. The house was as described. Kitchen equipped with everything you need. Generous panoramic view from the terrace. Lot‘s of opportunities for hiking. Very calm and relaxing place. Leaving and approaching the house always required some extra care on the last mile, as we always met the Reindeers somwhere on the street. Only the weather did not play in our favour and it was cloudy and snowy/rainy most of the time, so we only had one night with a very shy Aurora showing up. Overall we loved the peace and silence.

We had a lovely time at Roger’s place, which was equipped with everything we needed for a 4 night stay. Roger was very communicative, and provided thorough check-in instructions. The rorbuer is cozy and comfortable and well furnished, right on the harbour at Ballstad with a beautiful view out the front windows. I would recommend it to visitors desiring the “traditional” Lofoten experience without the huge price tag! Ballstad is a small village about 15 minutes drive from Leknes, where you can do your shopping. There is a convenience store a few minutes drive from the cabin, and a few restaurants around. I will note that the cabin is quite small, and there is no room to store suitcases in the bedroom - we kept ours in the living area, which was not a problem for us. There is also an upstairs residence and you can hear the occupants moving around - again, not an issue for us, but might be for others. Thanks for having us, Roger - we didn’t want to leave!

Olga’s place is beautiful and she is very responsive and gave me great recommendations even way before my trip!!

We had a wonderful time staying in this beautiful Rorbu! It was peaceful, cosy, clean and very private and was equipped with everything that we needed. The location and surroundings are also absolutely stunning! It's a short walk to the beautiful village of Nusfjord which we really enjoyed exploring, and we found that it was a great location for exploring the rest of the Lofoten Islands! Many thanks for a lovely stay :)
