The Home
Perched high above the village of Kaupanger, this warm, wooden family home offers one of the most breathtaking settings on the Sognefjord.

With 4 bedrooms sleeping up to 8 guests, there's room for everyone to spread out. Come evening, gather around the wood-burning fireplace while the mountains darken outside. The kitchen is equipped for proper family cooking, including a full-size side-by-side fridge with water, crushed ice, and ice cube dispenser — a small luxury that makes a real difference on a warm fjord day.

Neighbourhood
Kaupanger is a small fjord village that surprises every guest who discovers it. Sitting on the inner Sognefjord in Western Norway, it has a stave church from the 12th century within walking distance, an open-air folk museum five minutes away by car, and its own regional airport — making it far easier to reach than most places this beautiful.
The house sits above the village, so you get the quiet of the hillside with the convenience of everything below. The local apple farm is worth a stop for eggs, wild meat, and some of the best homemade cider you'll find anywhere in Norway. The Nigardsbreen glacier is under an hour by car, Fjærland's book village and glacier museum a similar distance, and guided kayak tours on the fjord can be arranged just down the hill.
It feels remote. It isn't.
