Absolutely perfect holiday home
Pros: This house is perfect for both a family holiday and a romantic getaway. We stayed here with our family and truly loved it. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you may need — even coffee, tea, some food supplies, and a barbecue on the terrace. The house is very cozy and thoughtfully designed. We stayed over New Year’s, and there was even a decorated Christmas tree, which was a lovely surprise from the host. The layout is very comfortable: three bedrooms, separate bathroom and toilet, and beautiful views from all the windows. The house is warm and dry, which is very important in this climate. The host was extremely kind — he even offered us fish when my husband couldn’t catch any due to the weather and lent sleds to our children after it snowed. There are saunas by the fjord just 5–10 minutes away by car, which we highly recommend. Overall, our stay was absolutely perfect, and we hope to come back again.
Cons: Everything was perfect 🙏

Pros: Our vacation at Nils Einar's was simply amazing—from the location to the house to the bed. There was absolutely nothing to complain about. Nils is a fantastic host who was always available with help and advice. The holiday home was a wooden dream. Plenty of space for a family of five with little rascals. The amenities left nothing to be desired. But the best part was the location—right on Lake Jølster, with a private boat and swimming area, yet not too isolated. You could reach Skei, with its shopping options, in a five-minute drive or a 20-minute walk. The weather—with 10 days of sunshine and nearly 30°C—was the proverbial icing on the cake. At times, we felt like we had accidentally driven south toward Italy instead of heading north to Norway.

Beautiful weekend escape at an old and beautiful cabin
Pros: Beautiful location and mesmerising views close to the fjords. One can do many activities like fishing , hiking and walking.
Cons: The house has steep stairs and could be unsuitable for older people and small kids.

Pros: A beautiful place to stay. Amazing views. Comfortable, warm, cozy, clean. Lots of space.
Cons: The reason it's not a 10 is the double bed has a wooden frame which creeks with the slightest movement. We also struggled to find the cabin as Google maps was wrong so use the booking map feature.

Pros: An amazing place with a very cozy house! We liked it so much that we extended our stay (+5 days on New Year). Convenient location near the water with beautiful views, a sauna on the fjord is a 4-minute drive away, ski resorts are 1-1.5 hours away, a glacier is about 1.5 hours away and much more. The house is very warm with a fireplace, near which we spent family evenings watching movies. Over 10 days, we experienced different weather from +9 to -12, from rain to a snowstorm, the house was always cozy! Special thanks for the real New Year's mood for our children!!! The owner presented us a real Christmas tree with decorations. A huge surprise for us was to see the northern lights 2 days (31.12 and 1.01), which we didn't even dream of. We would be happy to come here many, many more times!!! We highly recommend it!

Exceptional family holiday in a stunning location.
Pros: Beautiful location right on the fjord. Had a well equipped kitchen for cooking. Perfect for a family of 4 with plenty of space. Our host Nils was exceptional and took us fishing and kayaking . SUP board for our son was a big hit and I enjoyed cold water swimming every day.A private guide was arranged to take us up the glacier - highly recommend. Fabulous experiences we won’t forget!
