Southern Norway, Norway

A small house with a good atmosphere, simple standard and cottage feeling. Located at the entrance to Smørkleppdalen, unspoiled nature and cultural experiences in the immediate vicinity. Hiking trail along waterfalls, beautiful mountain walls and museum. You can really relax here. Swimming in summer, skiing in winter. Cozy knitting by the wood stove on a windy autumn evening. During the summer semester the Mjonøy brick oven bakery is open. This is a 6-minute walk from the Post Cottage and is a popular morning activity with delicious bread and pastries for the rest of the day. The Post Cottage is also located near, and part of a drawing and art painting workshop 'Vinje Art Camp'. In consultation with the hosts, this can also be used. The mountain village of 'Smørklepp' hosted a prominent artists' colony for decades in the last century (due to its ultimate Norwegian nature appeal ) and has been revived since 2024.
Nature and surroundings
Smørkleppdalen is a wild and beautiful valley, following the untamed river up to its source. All the deer roam here: reindeer, red deer, deer and elk. The special geology creates a unique fauna and flora. Winter and summer, this valley is an adventure. Located on the eastern flanks of the Norwegian mountain massif, Post House has a wide variety of landscapes, a stable continental climate and hiking and skiing opportunities at all levels.

Lovely little house with everything you need; a fenced-in yard for the dogs; a view of the forest from the back, with wildlife
Heerlijk huisje alles voldoende aanwezig omheinde tuin voor de honden uitzicht van achter op het bos met wilde dieren
A fantastic little cottage—small but authentically Norwegian—with an excellent host who’s a great source of advice on the area

Very cozy cottage, soberly decorated. But everything is there and the beds are delicious. Super active and hospitable homeowner. Through his enthusiastic stories the area began to live even more.
Heel knus huisje, sober ingericht. Maar alles is er en de bedden zijn heerlijk.
Super actieve en gastvrije huiseigenaar. Door zijn enthousiaste verhalen begon de omgeving nog meer te leven.A cottage where you "hear" the silence. In the middle of greenery.
Een huisje waar je de stilte “hoort”. Midden in het groen.

We were only there for the walks, so about biking, boating, fishing.... we cannot give a correct opinion here.
Wij waren er enkel voor de de wandelingen, dus over fietsen, varen, vissen... kunnen wij hier geen correcte mening geven.
Beautifully located cottage, cozy decor, all basic necessities provided. Enclosed garden, nice for the dogs. Hans, the owner, gave us several interesting tips for walks in the neighborhood. There is a very good bakery nearby where you can also consume something. We enjoyed 2 weeks of beautiful nature and tranquility. Highly recommended!
Mooi gelegen huisje, gezellige inrichting, alle basisbenodigdheden aanwezig. Afgesloten tuin, leuk voor de honden. Hans, de eigenaar, gaf ons meerdere interessante tips voor wandelingen in de buurt. Er is een zeer goede bakkerij vlakbij waar je ook wat kan consumeren. Wij hebben 2 weken lang genoten van de prachtige natuur en de rust. Een aanrader!
