Description

We have a cabin, approx 1 hour twenty minutes drive from Tromsø. We can supply transport from airport to cabin and return for 1500 nok. The cabin has solar power in summer months only . And NO electricity or running water in the winter (November to April). It has a wood burning sauna and hot tub and is candle or L E D battery lights. It's Perfect for viewing the Aurora wich can be seen most night's when skies are clear and sun and solar wind are both active. The space At the moment the cabin is not suitable for children under 14 years sorry. The area is a heaven for summer or winter activities, Fresh and salt water fishing ,hiking ,ski, snow shoeing or just chilling out around the cabin and area. The cabin is not suited for the faint hearted and there is a certain level of fitness to walk through the birch forrest to reach the cabin. There is a 100 meter gradual walk through the birch woods from roadside to cabin which is not suitable for a suitcases. A rucksack is highly recommended for going up and down to the cabin area. We do have 2 or 3 for your use if needed they are kept on the cabin porch. There will be warm all in one snow suits ,boots, hats ,gloves ,snow shoes, skis ,ski shoes ,snow board and boots ,sledge ,crampons ,tripods telescope ,binoculars ,acoustic guitars, harmonica , tambourine and plenty of books for you to use if needed. The scenery around this area is fantastic ,with trails all around the natural birch wood forests that surrounds you. And if driving theres no end to the magnificent fjords that make up troms region. The light in this area is unique and a photographers dream summer and winter. We are directly under the Auroral Oval and the Aurora can be seen almost every night that the skies are clear. There is an abundance of wild life to be seen including Hump back and killer whales ,dolphins, seals ,otters, moose, reindeer, golden and white tailed sea eagles, and millions of wild migratory birds that return each year, too many to mention. We have bird feeders around the cabin which attract some very rare birds on there migration journeys. Guest access The Cabin area has a living room with wood burning stove where all the water is heated continually. It has two kitchen area's, one in side, one out side, summer and winter. There is mobile phone charging all year round and a reception can be found in various areas of the properties. All cooking is with bottled gas, same again, in side ,and out side. summer and winter. The main bed room has a double bed and cupboard space for clothing. The smaller bed room has two bunk beds and small storage area's. All areas heat up easily once the wood burning stove is going. You can use as much wood as you like. The sauna area has a double bed settle where you can sleep if you wish and adequate cupboards for clothing etc. The sauna and hot tub are both powered with a wood burning oven. Hot tub will be closed during the winter as water supply freezes until mid April. All drinking water will be kept inside the main cabin so it does not freeze. There is plenty of area's to relax and just watch time go bye. Instructions for every thing is available at the cabin. Once the owner shows you around they will leave and you will be on your own until your departure date. Please follow all the rules and regulations and have a safe and wonderful time at my cabin. Marianne. Other things to note The cabin is set in the sixties and we try to create that feeling of surviving in a wilderness area ,which is not far wrong ,even although everything needed for your stay is at the cabin. There is no electricity in the cabins in winter. Solar power in summer months only. It would spoil the beauty of the wilderness and that feeling of being out in the middle of no where. We are aurora hunters, guides and photographers and when the northern lights are dancing over your heads at the cabin, i guarantee you will see what i mean. Light pollution as we call it is growing like a cancer and very soon there will be no dark areas to view the skies . And in summer we have 24 hour day light and that is an experience on its own.
