The cabin is situated in the middle of the pasture at a small sheep farm, surrounded by green meadows and native forest. A big lake, Storavatnet, who is perfect for rowing and canoeing is nearby. Perfect for friends who wants to do some exploring, hiking, fishing, crafting, writing, or just be at the farm. The bed is a small double bed, and there is an extra mattress. The cottage have a compost toilet, and running cold water outside. It is electricity so you can charge phones, and for light, but for heating it is a gas heater, and also a gas cooking stove. It is a electric kettle as well. No WIFI in the hut, but in the farmhouse if you need internet. If you need extra mattress/bedding, let me know before you arrive. The same for some of the the more special things, such as wine glasses. Just tell me what you need, and I will provide it for you. If somethings is missing, or if it is anything you lack or miss, just tell me, and I will do all I can to meet your wishes. :-)
It's a nice spot outside the cabin to sit by the bonfire at night. I provide firewood. It is possible to borrow my boat/canoe for exploring the lake. It is a silent lake, so no motors allowed. ;-) Gripen is a silent spot, it is very little sound pollution, and the same with light, so it gets very dark, when it is dark. So here the stars shine bright. Anyway, the the cows sometimes moos, sheep says BÆÆÆ now and then, and some of them have a little bell... And then I have two dachshunds at the farm, and a young Hungarian pumi, and they are very enthusiastic, and love people! So be prepared for some happy barking when you arrive! :-) Since this actually is a working farm, I sometimes can be vey busy, and unforeseen things can happen, so I hope you understand this. I will anyway do my best to help you as fast as I can, if you need me. . Around the cabin it is mostly nature. It is a big lake near by, and a big native rainforest (saved) with very old pines. You can borrow one of the boats, and a fishing net, so you can catch your own meals, and also pick mushrooms and berries. You can swim in the lake, but if you want a shower, you must go to the farm house for that.

Gripen gard og rurale tidsreiser

It was an amazing experience! We will come back this autumn again. Its so close to city but at the same time it feels so far away from it. Nice farm, amazing nature, little houses gave me a feeling that its a childhood and i am at my grandmothers village house. Love it! Absolutely recommend it for people and friends! 

Fantastisk opphold - anbefales på det sterkeste!

Jeg bodde her med kjæresten min en langhelg, og det var helt perfekt. Allerede fra første kontakt var Helene utrolig imøtekommende og hyggelig. Hun ordnet til og med en kjempefin deal for oss, slik at vi fikk bo en ekstra natt fordi bussene ikke gikk på søndagen – det satte vi utrolig stor pris på!

Stedet er lett å komme seg til med buss, så lenge man planlegger tidene litt på forhånd. Vi hadde to dager med strålende vær, noe som gjorde oppholdet ekstra fint, og en dag med gråvær og regn. Men selv det var bare koselig – vi koste oss inne og det føltes egentlig som en del av sjarmen.

Det var også kjempetrivelig å møte alle dyrene på gården – fra de to små dachshundene, til Cleopatra, den større, krøllete hunden, i tillegg til katter, høner, haner, vær og sauer. Det gjorde opplevelsen enda hyggeligere, spesielt for oss som er glade i dyr.

Helene var alltid tilgjengelig hvis vi trengte noe, og hun gjorde virkelig alt for at vi skulle ha det bra. Dette var en opplevelse i seg selv, og jeg anbefaler stedet på det varmeste. Jeg er helt sikker på at dette ikke blir siste gangen vi besøker dette stedet!

The stay on Helen's farm is probably our favorite memory from our whole trip through Norway. She's so kind and has great ideas & vision for the surroundings. There's always something happening and all materials are being used, so we're excited to see what happens in the future. We loved the option to use the canoe and spend an hour on the big lake all by ourselves. All the animals are really cute, the beds are comfy and sleep great with the only thing to hear is the nearby creek. 
We definitely try to come back soon and stay for longer :)

Helene was a great host who made us feel extremely welcome. The cabin was beautifully decorated and we loved cooking on the old stove, even though it took us a while. The scenery was beautiful and we wish we could have stayed longer. The only down side was that it was raining during our stay so we didn't get to take advantage of taking out one of the boats on the lake, but obviously that is nature! We would definitely book this place again, such a peaceful and remote location and cute cabin. 

Escape the city and go to your own deserted island and live primitive! Explore the wilderness and the native forest! Enjoy silent days and nights, catch and make your own food, make your own firewood and do bushcraft. It is set for an adventure! You rent the whole islet and the big tipi. A rowing boat, life vests, and fishing gear are included. The tipi is big and has several simple beds, a gas cooker, and woodburning ovens. The tipi contains all you need for an adventure and surviving in the wilderness. You need to bring waterproof shoes, warm clothes, gas, food, and sleeping bags. If you do not have sleeping bags, you can use the ones who are in the tipi. Then you can rent an “inner sheet” from the farm. As an extra thing to do, you can rent a toolbox containing tools for woodworking.

If you stay for more than 1 night there will be a 20% discount for the following nights! The discount will automatically be added to the booking.&nbsp;

Nydelig sted og gjestfri vert. Fantastisk opphold for både barn og voksne på Roseholmen.

Gripen farm

night_stays_2

Brilliant stay, remote location with your own private island. Lots of gear provided which was free to use. Lovely and caring staff around the farm area. Would definitely stay again. 

The cabin is situated in the middle of the pasture at a small sheep farm, surrounded by green meadows and native forest. A big lake, Storavatnet, which is perfect for rowing and canoeing is nearby.

Perfect for friends who want to do some exploring, hiking, fishing, crafting, writing, or just be at the farm.

In the cabin, you will find a small double bed and an extra mattress. There is a compost toilet, running cold water outside, and electricity so you can charge your phone and can have some light. For heating, you will find a gas heater.
The cabin is also provided with a gas cooking stove and an electric kettle.

There is no WiFi in the hut, but there is WiFi available in the farmhouse.

We have a nice spot outside the cabin to sit by the bonfire at night. I provide firewood. It is possible to borrow my boat/canoe for exploring the lake. It is a silent lake, so no motors are allowed. ;-) Gripen is a silent spot, it has very little sound pollution, and the same with light, so it gets very dark when it is dark. So here the stars shine bright.

It is a sheep pasture around the cottage, so it is important that my guests respect the sheep and do not scare them. No running, jumping, or loud voices near the sheep. That is the same for chickens, cats, and dogs. When you come to the house, the dogs will bark. It is two very small old dachshunds, and one Hungarian pumi, who is still young, and they are all very happy and enthusiastic. Despite the barking, they are very friendly dogs, and they just want to get to know you. It is also important to keep in mind that this is the countryside, and Gripen is actually a working farm with pastures and animals, surrounded by nature. I just say this to make you prepared for getting shit on your shoes! For the same reason, it is totally forbidden to walk inside the cabin with shoes. Use slippers or thick socks! I say this with a smile and a blinking eye! You will of course manage very well!

If you need extra mattress/bedding, let me know before you arrive. The same for some of the more special things, such as wine glasses. Just tell me what you need, and I will provide it for you. If something is missing, or if it is anything you lack or miss, just tell me, and I will do all I can to meet your wishes. :-)
