Activities Winter: Depending on snow conditions you can cross country ski everywhere around the cabin, forging your own tracks in virgin snow. There is a small local ski center at Vegårshei (12 km/7miles away) and if there is not sufficient snow, there are inland mountain downhill slopes 60km/40miles away (about 1 hours drive) Note: these cabins are located in Southern Norway and at a lower altitude than the ski resorts further inland. Snow is likely but not guaranteed. If it doesn’t snow, low temperatures will however make the landscape and icy lakes beautiful. In previous years snow has started in November and lasted until February Summer: Summer and autumn is the time for fishing (trout, perch and eel), hiking, mushroom gathering, berry picking, swimming in the lake, canoeing, horse riding and just generally enjoying nature. You can have a sauna by the lake, relaxing afterwards by the lakeside camp fire and can row across to the grill house for a rustic evening meal cooked specially for you In the Southern rivers closer to the coast, salmon and sea trout will be spawning Lake Vegår is the main lake of the area, with 20sqkm/12sqmiles and 365 islands. People go there in summer to swim or canoe and then relax by an open fire, and year round to fish  

Setting The log cabin is set at 720ft/220m on the owners farm in quiet seclusion, with views of lakes, gentle hills and endless forests. The only sounds are nature, the wind, the waterfall from lake Forbuvann and the gentle jingle of sheep bells. A short distance away is the Låven cabin and another small cabin, so you won’t be totally on your own. The lake is 1300ft/400m away

Lisa says: "We really couldn't have asked for a more perfect Honeymoon. The log cabin was beyond beautiful, the views were absolutely stunning, and our host Stian was ready to help at any time, but never intrusive. The surrounding area was fabulous, we didn't feel the need to go much further afield. A definate 10 out of 10, we'll definately be booking again in the future. HIGHLY recommended."
