    We stayed in Stulen. We can imagine that this accommodation is not for everyone: no running water, limited electricity (solar panels charge a battery to light a few lamps), no bathroom, outside toilet. But a lot of privacy, beautiful view, cosily...

Hello, my name is Anne! I am the hostess and owner og Bolkesjø Gaard. I grew up on the farm and today I have great help from my partner Ole Henrik and my parents, Lisbeth and Leif. We have more than 20 wooden buildings in total, most of them more than 100 years old. It takes a lot of work to take care of them and the best way is to put them into use. Thank you for visiting us and being a part of their story :) Welcome!
The area is only 1.5 hours from Oslo, at the gate of Telemark close to Blefjell mountain. Here there are beautiful hiking trails and bathing water, a perfect place for peace and quiet. It's also short distance to other destinations in the area, such as Heddal Stave Church, Gaustatoppen and Bø Sommarland.
