Island vacation rentals in Norway

We had a wonderful time with our three little children on this beautiful little island- it has become a place of heart and was the pure relaxation. The house makes you feel immediately comfortable, the host is very reliable and likeable and the sunsets at the fjord right on the water are indescribably beautiful. We hope to come back soon!!

Thank you for a lovely stay! Absolutely magical out here on the island - and away from all the noise after festival and people everyday🦋🌟 Wilhelm met us and instructed well. The small boat ride across the strait was an experience in itself everyday. We will be back🌟

We came back for a second time. Last year we had some bad luck with a short stay of a few days and storm Hans and couldn’t see the beauty of this place to the fullest. This year we had much more luck with the weather some rainy and windy days but also some very sunny and quiet days. We had some great time fishing, catch crab, chilling on the sun deck (always a place somewhere with less wind) , did the hike Høgkletten. And just get groceries at the supermarket by boat. AND we’re lucky enough to spot sea otters , sea eagles and beautiful Northern lights on the island itself.

Oyvind's house is huge.... exceeded our expectations! Beautiful waterfront location! One concern. Wifi did not work.

Of all the places we have seen in Norway, this is the most beautiful place to stay. We would have loved to stay there much longer. There is something to do for every kind of child: Our youngest, the adventurer, could freely roam the island, cut sticks and look for stones. Our middle one, the fisherman, took his heart from the harbor. Super nice also to rent the boat and sail on the sea, a lot of fish was caught! Our oldest, the animal lover, enjoyed the llamas, sheep, the chickens, peacocks and especially the sweet old dog and the cats who walked around. There is a trampoline, football goals, and a volleyball net. We have not yet enjoyed Kathrine's cooking skills. But we hope to come back again in the future to do so!

The island is super remote, with free-roaming sheep and even saw a moose!

It is difficult to describe how beautiful and wild this island is, and yet how welcoming and warm the hideaway is at the same time. I learned so much, met such interesting and friendly people, and felt completely at home even though I have never been in anyplace even remotely like this before. If you have a sense of adventure, an independent spirit, and an interest in forging connections with new friends, you will love it here. Bring warm clothes, comfortable waterproof shoes, some wine, and an open heart. You will not be disappointed.

Amazing experience, one of a kind. Beautiful sustainable project, wonderful people. Planet Earth needs more of this and we do too. Learning beyond words.

The cottage is very well disposed, with a clear sleeping area separated from common areas. It made it easy to share our holiday week, 3 generations and 3 families. Only difficulty we encountered were standards that we don't have in Sweden, such as the tip safety linked to the fan, the double-comand when locking garden doors, and maybe something more. Staying in this nice cabin itself was an enjoyable experience that was appreciated by all of us, from 4 to 75 years. Great.

There are places in this world that make for a great vacation, some that impress, some that inspire. And then there are the truly special places that leave their mark, subtly - or dramatically - change you and how you walk through the world. Arctic Hideaway was that for me. No restaurants, no "activities", no walking tours. Just a magical space in a pristine location to just be. The combination of private and communal space struck the right balance of solitude without loneliness. I feel profoundly grateful to have stayed here. Takk, Havar!

Truly one of the most magical places I’ve ever been. Was there for two nights and it really wasn’t long enough. Go once for at least 4 nights and you will remember it for ever!
