In winter, there may be ice on the lake or a lot of snow. In such cases, we must keep in touch the day before arrival to arrange the best way for transport you to the cabin.
We love personal contact with our guests, and you are welcome to visit us at the Fiddan Eco-farm. Call us in advance to make sure we are home, or just stop by.

The Øy-Hytta (Island Cabin) and the surrounding area
It is allowed to accommodate a maximum of 6 people in the cabin. There are a small double sofa bed, 3 single beds and a hammock.

We want to maintain the vegetation below and around the cabin, so it is important that everyone uses existing trails and bonfires.

The cabin is often lit with candles. Be very careful with the fire and be sure to extinguish the light before falling asleep or leaving the cabin. The bonfires can be used with caution throughout the year, but any use of fire outside the cabin is prohibited when there is a forest fire hazard. Ask us about this on arrival.

The outhouse is designed to be as odorless as possible, but we depend that everyone who uses it is pouring a box of sawdust after using it so that it covers what you have left. Sawdust is ready in a wooden bowl.
In the cabin book you will find practical information about Øy-Hytta (Island Cabin). If you wonder about anything else, give us a call. Please clean up after leaving or leave the cabin in the same condition as when you arrived.

  • Duvet and pillow (bed linen not included)
