Hand-crafted cabin in Evardalen near Hovden

About this house

This hand-logged cabin, built from heartwood pine from Agder, is majestically situated high in the hills with stunning views and sunshine all day long. The natural ventilation and the warmth of the wood create a unique indoor climate. This is the perfect place to unwind from everyday life and truly find peace. Here, you can slow down as the flames dance in the wood-burning stove or around the campfire on the property.

The cabin has plenty of space for one or two families spread over two floors and is perfectly suited for families looking to spend quality time together. On the first floor, you’ll find a spacious kitchen, a cozy living room, and two bathrooms. On the second floor is a multipurpose room with sleeping accommodations. Everything is brand-new and ready for you in 2025.

Hiking trails start right at your doorstep. In 15 minutes, you can reach a local peak, and the ski trail passes just 1–200 meters below the cabin door. Here you’ll also find a disc golf course, a lighted trail, and a small body of water used for ice skating in the winter. In the summer, the local potholes along the Fåråne River are a short drive or a 15–20-minute walk away. Here you’ll find impressive potholes shaped by the river’s forces over thousands of years, combined with idyllic swimming spots that give the area a special character. The largest pothole has been measured by locals to be as deep as 9–10 meters.

Evardalen offers high-mountain scenery with hikes to mountain peaks and spots for fishing and swimming. Sukkertoppen is a popular destination year-round. Brokke Alpine Center features family-friendly skiing with a chairlift, while Hovden is an hour’s drive away and offers a larger alpine slope, a water park, and shops. Via Ferrata climbing in Løefjell adds an extra thrill. You’ll find a grocery store and gas station in downtown Rysstad. Since the cabin area is new, it may be difficult to find the address on GPS or Google Maps. Contact the host for more information.
