Crafters nest. Cosy cottage with woodburning stove
Gripen gård
5918 Frekhaug, West Norway, Norway
Description
Gripen gard is a certified eco-farm located on Frekhaug, approx. 45 minutes from Bergen. Sheep, dogs, pigs and chicken live on the farm.
The cabin is in the middle of a meadow on a small sheep farm, surrounded by green meadows and untouched forest. A large lake called Storavatnet is nearby, and is perfect for rowing and canoeing. There is free fishing in the lake. The cabin is perfect for friends who want to explore, hike, fish, do crafts, write or just be on the farm.
In the cabin, you will find a small double bed (120x200 cm) and an extra mattress. There is a compost toilet, running cold water outside, and electricity so you can charge your phone and have some light. For heating, there is a gas heater. The cabin is also equipped with a gas cooking stove and an electric kettle.
There is no WiFi in the hut, but it is available in the farmhouse.
We have a nice spot outside the cabin to sit by the bonfire at night. Firewood is provided. It is possible to borrow my boat/canoe for exploring the lake. It is a silent lake, so no motors are allowed. ;-) Gripen is a quiet spot with minimal sound and light pollution, making for bright starry nights.
The cottage is surrounded by a sheep pasture, so it is important for guests to respect the sheep and refrain from running, jumping, or speaking loudly near them. The same applies to the chickens, cats, and dogs. When you arrive at the house, the dogs may bark. There are two very small old dachshunds and one young Hungarian pumi, all of which are friendly and enthusiastic. Despite the barking, they just want to get to know you. It is also important to remember that this is the countryside, and Gripen is a working farm with pastures and animals, surrounded by nature. I mention this to prepare you for potential mud on your shoes! For the same reason, it is strictly forbidden to wear shoes inside the cabin. Please use slippers or thick socks! I mention this with a smile and a wink! You will, of course, manage very well!
If you need an extra mattress/bedding or any special items such as wine glasses, let me know before you arrive. Just tell me what you need, and I will provide it for you. If something is missing or if there is anything else you require, please inform me, and I will do my best to fulfill your requests. :-)
