Cabin

In late June, I embarked on a solo journey to Marianne's charming cabin, perched right above the Oslofjord. My goal was to recharge in the embrace of Norwegian nature and find some peace, and this place offered exactly what I needed.

The cabin is situated on a hill, providing stunning views of the water, surrounded by lush greenery. Every morning I indulged in a refreshing dip in the Oslofjord, just 300 meters from the cabin.

Where we stayed

My unique stay in the cabin by Oslofjord

The cabin's design and decor is a perfect blend of elegance, minimalism, and modern comfort, all wrapped in a cosy atmosphere with stunning views. One of my favourite details was the large glass windows, which allowed me to enjoy the view from every corner of the cabin.

What I loved most

A peaceful and beautiful place

It wasn't just the view. It was the whole package: the sleek design, the large windows bringing nature inside, and the private dock giving you direct access to the fjord just outside the door.

Things to do

A little more about the place

Morning dip in Oslofjord: Take the short walk down to the fjord and enjoy a refreshing swim from the private dock. I highly recommend starting your day with a quiet morning by the water, complete with a hot cup of coffee.

Sunset views: If you visit during summer, be sure to stay up for the spectacular Norwegian sunsets. The cabin's location offers an ideal vantage point to witness these breathtaking displays of colour over the water.

Ferry watching: Spend some time on the dock watching the massive Oslo ferries glide through the fjord. It's a peaceful and fascinating experience.

Tips from Laura

Three things I'd tell a friend

Visit any time of year
Visit any time of year
I visited in summer and got the full midnight sun experience, but the cabin is worth visiting year-round.
Plan your transport
Plan your transport
Consider how you'll get to and from the cabin, as it's a bit of a journey from Oslo Airport. While buses can get you there, it's worth planning your route in advance.
Pack your swimsuit
Pack your swimsuit
Don't forget to bring your swimsuit so you can take full advantage of the fjord. The water is perfect for a refreshing swim, especially in the summer months.
