The journey back in time

The shower is outdoors. There is no running water. You sleep in a dormitory and chop your own firewood. In Ryfylke, you can live as if it were the 1850s… See the article from Aftenposten, Saturday 17 October 2020 (NB! Subscription required).

At this mountain farm you live the way they did in 1850: a unique and bold project

Grey smoke rises quietly from a grass-covered roof. Sheep bells rattle in the distance. Otherwise, there is not a sound to be heard.

Guest experiences

Beyond expectations

Excellent service and hospitality from the hosts. Beautiful location and an idyllic place. The sauna by the lake is very special and outstanding. We loved the cabin with the wood-burning stove – you truly travel back in time when it comes to cooking and showering. Comfortable and magical. Great beds.

What a fantastic stay

If you want to relax, enjoy nature and have access to both easy and challenging hikes right outside the front door, you won’t find a better place. Reidunn (the host) is just as wonderful as the cabin.
Beautiful place and location. I would come back here again and again.

I highly recommend this place to everyone!

Haukali is an absolutely incredible, fantastic place – one of the most magical you can imagine in Norway. Lea is a wonderful, very warm and extremely kind hostess to all her guests. The house is amazing and beautifully decorated in the style of the mid-1800s. The atmosphere is fantastic, and the outdoor shower is magical: hot water, cold fjord and beautiful views everywhere ensure you have an unforgettable, truly fantastic time.
The breakfast prepared by Lea is better than in many five-star hotels, and her warmth, creativity, family-like approach, friendly smile and great support were a beautiful addition to an already amazing stay..

The cabin is sparsely and authentically furnished

Reidunn and Ole are incredibly kind people who go a long way to do their very best for their guests. They were very helpful, welcoming and genuinely interested in what we wanted to experience while staying there. The cabin is sparsely and authentically furnished, so you need to be prepared for that. It is extremely charming and romantic, with an outdoor bathroom and only the most essential things. At the same time, you have the opportunity to, for example, borrow a canoe and head straight out into the beautiful surroundings right from the cabin. Highly recommended. Thank you for a wonderful stay :-)
