Other things to note -There is no fence around the wall, not suitable for the smallest children in spring/summer. No challenge in winter because then there is a lot of snow. There is no crib or space for a travel cot in the bedrooms. The cabin is best suited for children who can sleep in the beds we have in the cabin. There is no possibility of charging an electric car, as the facility at the cabin is not made for it. But there are charging stations in Evje city center and in Hægeland. IMPORTANT! It can be challenging to get up the hill the last part in winter if you only have front wheel drive on the car, but they are usually good at plowing and gritting the hill up to the cabin area.
