Experience true peace and closeness to nature at Stulen, a charming cabin deep in the peaceful Telemark forest. Here you will stay in a cozy living room with a wood stove, dining area, and comfortable seating. The kitchen is well-equipped with a propane refrigerator, hot plates, and all necessary utensils. The bedroom has bunk beds, ideally accommodating the whole family.
Outside, you can enjoy the campfire area or grill meals while taking in the fantastic view. For a bit of extra relaxation, take a soothing bath in one of the area's lakes. Although the place is remote, solar panels provide atmospheric lighting.
This unique place is pet- and family-friendly, and a perfect break from modern life. However, please inform us if you are bringing a pet. Enjoy cooking in the kitchen or share a good story with the hosts at Bolkesjø Gaard, who always offer a warm welcome, a tour, and stories from the farm that has been in the family since the 1500s. Let yourself be inspired by the surroundings and experience something truly special. Welcome to a different experience!
Stulen is located 3 km down a private gravel road, with the chance for complete silence and solitude in nature.
Bolkesjø Gaard. Perfect for those who want a break from modern life, as one guest said:
“We wanted a place far from people and asphalt … a fireplace for warmth, and cozy intimate decor. … We loved it!”
Note that the place does not have running water and it is not possible to charge phones at the solar system. An outdoor toilet is available in the outbuilding and water is fetched at the farm upon arrival.

At Bolkesjø Gaard you will be welcomed by a friendly and slightly adventurous family who love guests almost as much as we love forests, mountains and good food. We live on a farm that has been in the family since the 16th century, and are happy to share stories, travel tips and a good laugh. The atmosphere here is informal, warm and genuine – just as we believe a farm stay should be. Welcome to our home!

We spent a lovely weekend in the woods, with the kids free from distractions from mobile phones and tablets – a proper digital detox. This is the perfect place for this, and we would gladly come back. But maybe next time in the summer 🙂 Make sure to read the description on the farm's website, as Campanyon makes it look like facilities are included even though they cost extra.
