The Captain of Skibladner (world's oldest paddle steamer still in traffic) lived here during his glory days. The house is full of photos and stories about the shipping industry on Lake Mjøsa from this era (1850s - 1960s). The lake is only 150m away, and in summer you can sit on the terrace and watch Skibladner drop by every Sunday (or hop on for a quiet ride on the lake). The area also has a nice sandy swimming beach. My family bought the house back (it once belonged to our farm) in 2007, and fully renovated the house for rentals. Upstairs there are four bedrooms, and two of them with double beds. The last to rooms have bunks (2 and 3 persons). There is a spacious bathroom (also upstairs), a modern kitchen, dining room and a large living room.

My name is Mats. I run the area called Evjua together with my brother and father. I have 2 children, and I love taking walks on the gravel farmroads in our village.

Apart from fishing, swimming and just enjoying Lake Mjøsa, there are heaps of activities around. I would recommend using the gravel farmroads in our village (Totenvika) for walks and bicycle trips (we lend out free bikes). There are also a few mountain walks that will give you an amazing view of the village, the lake and the great mountains in the far distance. There are maps in the house, but also just ask me for advice :)
