the owners were very friendly and helpful. cabin was recently renovated and lovely inside.

Valerie United States of America

nice clean apartment with full kitchen and big bathroom

Annette Greece

I had a simple cabin overlooking the river. Very well insulated and warm . Toilets and showers were in a nearby separate newly refurbished block . Not many people staying while I was there, so not a problem, but could get crowded when the site has more people. Cooking facilities were ok but not very well equipped. I did not have a car and it was a 15 min walk to town, which wasn't a problem for me but could be for some people.

Peter United Kingdom

The place was very quiet, close to the nature and to the city. The staff was very helpful and welcoming. My cabin was cosy and comfortable.

Sylvain France

Beautiful place, nice warm cabin, good beds, refrigerator in the cabin. KiThe kitchen and toilets not far from cabin, there were clean and a lot of place. Nice view from the window and very good decoration.

Silje, Fredrik, and Milan
My family and I wish people from around the globe welcome to our little piece of paradise!
I, Silje, grew up around here, and I have always wanted to keep the business going. I did move away from town for 10 years though, but I kept coming back to work every summer. While away I travelled alot, and lived different places such as Vadsø, Alta, Oslo, Dusseldorf (near Auto Becker!!), San Diego, and Rome. In 2007 I moved back for good. In 2014 Milan was born. The next year our new house and reception was built, and in 2016 Fredrik was born. Now we are a family of three, with our three huskies and the handsome petit brabancon.
The Sami Parliament is our nearest neighbour. Sapmi Park with Boble Galsshytte is close too. The famous knifesmith Strømeng is less than 2km away, so is the sami museum, and also the sami art center. Shops are also within 2km. It is a nice walk to the bridge from here in summer, following a path along the river. In winter this is a great place to view the magic of the Aurora Borealis, and in summer the midnight sun shines its blessings over the other side of the river, and over us bright and early in the morning.
