Lower Svarverkjær Gård is a old homestead where the main house is renovated. The house is idyllically situated in a brightness of forest with a beautiful apple orchard and warm surroundings. It is a short walking distance to several bathing and fishing waters. The house has 2 bedrooms and 1 sleeping alcove, see pictures. I work in Tromsø, but the farm is such a beautiful place that I do not want it to be empty here when I am not at home. Hope you'll enjoy your stay. Pets are welcome, but please remember to make a leash. Welcome to gards! The space Welcome to Nedre Svarverkjær Gård! Nedre Svarverkjær Gård is a charming place located in a peaceful forest edge. The main house has a facelift and combines historic charm with modern conveniences. The beautiful surroundings include an old apple orchard that creates a tranquil oasis for relaxing in the hammocks. The farm consists of five houses, and you can use the main house and the nearby outhouse. The family uses the house below the barn at the other end of the property, the honey arch. My mom is a beekeeper, so you may see her when she harvests honey in the summer. In addition, the stall by the family is used for the carpentry workshop. While they don't usually do that much, so don't be surprised if you see them there. Just a short walk away from the main house, you'll find several nice lakes perfect for swimming and fishing. We have upgraded the property with a new kitchen and bathroom while preserving the traditional style of the farm. Enjoy the tranquility of our patio with a comfortable sofa and hammocks. We provide high speed internet and a small Apple TV for entertainment. Experience the cozy vibe by the fireplace - we will provide firewood. Bed linens and towels are included in the stay. You will find basic dry goods such as flour, sugar, salt, tea and more but please save some coffee for my return. If you use a lot of the dry provisions, I would appreciate if you replenished the inventory. In case you need anything else, the nearest shop is only a 15-minute drive away. We welcome pets, but ask that they be kept on a leash to protect the variety of wildlife, including deer, badgers, hares, and deer. In the summer you may also encounter livestock such as highland cattle, horses, sheep and hens in the village. Take a trip to this little gem and experience the best of nature with modern comforts.

Måjohamat, a 24-hour shop in Meikjær, also has a fitness center. For those who want to explore more, it takes about 30 minutes to drive to Kragerø city center in the south and 40 minutes to Porsgrunn in the north. A 1.5 hour drive will take you to the popular Bø Sommerland. I highly recommend a visit to the Telemark Canal. The canal was chiseled out of the mountain over 100 years ago, and was completed in 1892. The canal connects Telemark's coast to the hinterland through eight locks over a distance of 105 km from Skien to Dalen. It consists of two waterways: Skien-Dalen and Skien-Notodden. You can experience the Telemark Canal by ferry, rental boats, own boat, canoes and kayaks. Or take the ferry to Jomfruland outside Kragerø. Jomfruland, an island with unique nature and an exciting history, is a pearl in Kragerø's beautiful archipelago. Here you will find farms, beaches and unique cottages scattered across the island. In the Viking Age, the island was known as Aur, meaning "gravel and coarse grain of sand mixed with pebbles". Virgin land rose from the sea about 4000 years ago after the last ice age as a mother, still bearing the mark of this history. Due to its geological significance, Jomfruland is part of Gea Norvegica Geopark. An important part of Europe's geology, the island shows great geological diversity both nationally and internationally. Since 2016, Jomfruland has been designated as a National Park!
