Granny flat in serene northern home
Description
Smack in the middle of Engavågen, just a 200-meter walk to the grocery store, local café, and bus stop, you will stay in a classic Norwegian “granny flat” with your own private living space, kitchenette, and bathroom facilities. The house is a 150-year-old Northern Norwegian home, usually lived in by a well-traveled family. During your stay, you will be sharing the house with me, your host. I am happy to offer local recommendations, a friendly chat, or even a shared meal if you would like. The space The house is a standalone home on an old, quiet farm, with a separate apartment attached. The granny flat is located on the second floor and shares an entrance with the host (one flight of stairs). The guest area includes: - Living room with a double sofa bed, with space for an additional mattress on the floor and baby crib (up to 3 guests, or 4 with a baby/toddler). - Kitchenette with dining table, fridge, air fryer, French press, kettle, and essentials for simple meals. - Small hallway with bookshelf, games, and hanging space for clothes. - Private half bathroom with toilet and sink. - Second private bathroom with sink and bathtub, located on the first floor just outside the granny flat (via a shared hallway). This entire upstairs area is reserved exclusively for guests. The bedroom has a lock, but the rest of the Granny flat does not (apart from bathrooms). Local area: You can easily access the sea, beautiful mountains and hiking trails by foot from the house. Guest access If the guests wish to use a shower, there is a bathroom with shower in the first floor. This bathroom is shared with host. We have a cellar with washing machine, dryer and clothing rack that guests can use and access upon request. If the guests have a great need to cook full meals, the fully equipped kitchen in the first floor may be available to guests, but only upon special request and if convenient for host. The house has a beautiful outside area with a nice big terrasse you are free to use, with seating groups that make it possible to enjoy beautiful mountains views and the sun at all times of day when it decides to show up 😁 During your stay I have experience hosting and working in a bed and breakfast, and I have traveled and lived in several parts of the world. I am happy to provide recommendations for hikes and local activities. If you prefer a more social stay, I can offer conversation, guided hikes, or possibly a shared meal. If you are traveling without a car, I may be able to assist with local transport when available. This is a home, not a hotel, so you will see me in shared areas. At the same time, your privacy will always be respected. Other things to note Free parking is available on the property. Complimentary tea, coffee, and snacks are provided. Breakfast (bread, eggs, bacon, and toppings) can be arranged for 150 NOK per person, subject to availability. Amenities for babies and children can be provided upon request.
