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.

    It’s a house steeped in history! Fully equipped with all the amenities. The beds are made up beautifully. The blankets are very nice, though the mattresses could be better… The shower is wonderfully warm (though the stall is a bit on the small side).
    Lovely garden, with a fire pit and comfortable chairs.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    An enthusiastic Dutch-speaking owner. He takes plenty of time to explain things and tell us all about the area. He gave us some great hiking routes, and we went fishing and spotted moose! It was wonderful to take a nice morning walk (about 10 minutes) to a lovely little bakery! (Summer only)

    We also took a quick dip in the cold water. (And even drank some!) The nature is absolutely stunning! We really want to go back just for the nature!
    It was our first time in Norway, and it was amazing!

    The house has everything you need for a 1-2 week stay (very comfortable beds, refrigerator, stove, washing machine), including a warm, friendly atmosphere! The bakery is a 5-minute walk away. The owner is very friendly and helpful. Communicating with him is completely effortless. He also gives tips on things to do!

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    A very peaceful spot with the forest right behind the house. A beautiful river is also nearby (a 4-minute walk). The valley, which can be seen in the background of the photo, is also accessible: there’s a road running along the valley that turns into a trail further on. Along the road, there are even spots where you can cool off in the little river. There’s almost no chance you’ll run into anyone on that road (except for sheep)! Lake Vinjevatn isn’t far away either—a perfect little lake if you like to swim or paddle. A great swimming spot on this long lake is just a 6- to 7-minute drive away.
