Cottage by the sea, pier and amazing views

RebeccaRating, 5 stars7 months ago

This was our second stay at this wonderful house. Also see my first review from 2022 which still holds true! The waterfront property has fantastic views, is clean and tidy, has a kitchen full of cooking utensils, comfy beds a boat to rent and a helpful and responsive hostess …. So it is basically perfect. We hope to return in two or three years and get to see the boat house completed! Thank you for sharing your home.

A hot tub is positioned on a wooden deck, with bubbles visible in the water. The sun reflects off the calm sea, creating a serene atmosphere. In the background, boats are moored along the shoreline, framed by lush green hills.

170 m2 on the seafront central in Grimstad

KathrineRating, 5 stars9 months ago

A solid apartment right on the waterfront with lovely views. Tastefully decorated and well equipped. We just had time to try the one kayak, plus small boat and hot tub were available. We were lucky with the weather every day and used the great docking facility for sunbathing and swimming, in addition to the amazing Groos beach. Small and big questions were quickly clarified with the host. Nice opportunity to charge an electric car in your own garage space. Walking distance to Grimstad city center for buying fresh baked goods and a trip on the city. All in all a great stay and we would love to come back!

An outdoor seating area is featured on a deck with a scenic view of the fjord. A modern, woven sectional sofa is adorned with orange and gray cushions. A stone fire pit sits on the wooden surface, surrounded by vibrant flowers and greenery.

Idyllic Family Cabin on Norwegian Fjord w boat

FatihRating, 5 stars4 months ago

We checked into the house on Monday, December 23, 2024. We found a preheated, clean house even prepared with great welcome gifts. The hygiene was impeccable. Freshly made beds in which we slept very comfortably. A super clean bathroom with underfloor heating and clean towels and even with shower gel/shampoo and hand soap prepared for us. We felt very comfortable and were able to recharge our batteries well for the new year. We can definitely recommend it. The host was always available to us and also kept asking if we needed anything. Everything was simply super, therefore 10 stars from us. And again a warm thank you to our host Pete…

A serene natural cove is surrounded by lush greenery, featuring clear turquoise waters and gentle sandy shores. Large smooth stones are visible both in the water and along the beach, creating a peaceful setting for relaxation and exploration.

Southern idyll w/hot tub – close to Zoo

ChristineRating, 5 stars9 months ago

Large and nice house that is great for two families with small children. Quiet area, cozy towns within short driving distance from the house. Child friendly and convenient, which was the most important thing for us this time. Markus responded quickly to inquiries.

Summer house right by the sea

KathrinRating, 5 stars8 months ago

We spent two wonderful weeks in the cabin right on the fjord. The cabin corresponds exactly to the photos. There is everything you need; you can bring your own bed linen and towels. The check-in/ out via the key box went smoothly, everything was clean and in the kitchen there was everything necessary to prepare and store. We used the boat for paddle tours, right next to the cabin there is a small beach. In the surroundings there are beautiful lakes and hiking trails, until Risør, Grimstad, Arendal and Kragerø it is not far, otherwise you can also easily spend time "only" at the hut. We also met the very nice hosts, the communication always went smoothly before and during the stay. We would keep driving to the cabin and spend our holidays there.

A serene outdoor seating area is positioned near the edge of a tranquil lake. Four wicker chairs are gathered around a small table, surrounded by lush greenery and trees, reflecting the peaceful natural scenery. Clear blue water mirrors the azure sky above.

Family-friendly cottage by the sea; boat included

DitteRating, 5 stars9 months ago

Thank you for a great stay. It was so nice we had the opportunity to revisit the beautiful cabin “Knatten”. There's no place in the world as amazing as Risør and Barmen. We very much hope to revisit the cabin another time.

A bright dining area features large windows offering views of greenery. A long table is surrounded by white chairs, complemented by a light-filled kitchen island. Pendant lights hang above, and decorative plants add a touch of nature to the inviting space.

Friendly and generous host! Large, great and practical house for two families, with a nice outdoor area. Very nice location in regards to exit and activities - recommended😊
