Family-friendly vacation rentals in Northern Norway

This house is a true gem in Lofoten — peaceful, beautiful, cosy, and wonderfully private all at once. Inside, it’s spacious, spotless, and incredibly comfortable, making it the perfect place to relax. Runa and Johan are exceptional hosts — thoughtful, attentive, and genuinely warm. One memorable example of their kindness happened while we were in Svolvær. A rockfall occurred on the E10 road near Røvik, which led to the road being closed and made it impossible for us to drive back to our accommodation. Fortunately, Runa and Johan went above and beyond to help us. They not only offered us helpful advice, but also kindly drove to the harbor to pick us up and brought us safely back to the house. We are truly grateful for their generosity and support — they made our stay even more special.

Our stay was just wonderful. The house has a stunning view of the sea that we enjoyed daily. The place was spotlessly clean, cozily furnished, and equipped with everything we needed. The peaceful surroundings and the proximity to nature made our stay particularly relaxing. The host was extremely helpful and made sure we were completely comfortable. We highly recommend this place and are already looking forward to our next visit.

We arrived late at night after a 4 hour drive from Narvik. The next day Cato showed me how to fill and heat the hottub and even took it upon himself to get it up to temp while we were out grocery shopping. That night we enjoyed gazing at the aurora borealis dancing above our heads in the hottub. A couple days later it got rainy and extremely windy preventing us from heating the hottub. As compensation Cato offered us use of his sauna and to take a swim in the sea, which we gladly did. He also gave us a whole cod for free from his fisherman's friend Tom which we used to make typical Norwegian dishes. Cato was extremely helpful and kind, he replied within minutes whenever we needed help or had any questions and he was full of amazing recommendations, as to where to hike and which towns and restaurants to visit. Towards the end of our stay it snowed a lot turning the surroundings into winter wonderland. We were very lucky to see all sides of Norway including the Northern lights!

Stunning views and location, and so cozy. Highlights are the jacuzzi, sauna, access to take a dip in the fjord, the fireplace in the living room, the comfy beds, and fully kitted out kitchen with a great coffee machine. Host was very nice and always responsive. Highly recommend!

Anette's place was the perfect place for our tour holidays for us. The apartment is in a great location, has a great view of the fjord and is only a few meters from the sea. The apartment is equipped with everything you need. We had enough room for the three of us. (Attention 1 room has no door) The kitchen is well equipped and you have a beautiful view from the dining table. Anette is very helpful, gave us good tips and was also waiting for us when we arrived late. We had a great time at Anette's place.

we had everything we needed. the house is stunning and well equiped. you have everything beginning with a fire place, a hot tub, a sauna. a bit of a minus is the location. there are many street light because the house is in the middle of a skiing area. if you want so see the northern lights clearly i would sugest going to a more remote place

Great place. Only feedback would be for an osthovel for cheese. Everything else was fantastic and will stay there again

Dear Jussi, we had a great time in your beautiful house in a wonderful surrounding. Everything is very cosy and fully equipped. You did everything to make our stay unforgettable. Thank you so much and best regards Ulrike & Bernhard

Very nice and cozy place, exactly same as decribed. Bjorn is super friendly host, if given a chance will love to stay again. Thank you so much Bjorn🥰❤️❤️❤️

We had a lovely stay in this cozy cabin. It's spacious for two people. We enjoyed walking in the area around the AirBnB. The fireplace made us feel right at home. Everything you need is provided and it was very clean and tidy. Would recommend!

We really enjoyed the cottage at Polmak, in the beginning of May it was still beautiful and wintery, and the place was very conveniently located, peaceful, the kitchen was very well equipped and we had great sleep in the soft beds. Also we really loved the guest book! The place was a great base to explore Norwegian nature from.

Beautifully located, right by the Huskies. Cozy, lovingly furnished cabin. Breakfast is sensational and highly recommended

Anne Kristin’s place was the perfect place for a two day stay, beautiful surroundings and privacy. Anne gave us clear instructions about check in, check out and how things like radiators and kitchen work, totally recommend it

Wished we could stay for another night but they are fully booked. But I am glad that I managed to book 1 night's stay. My family of 4 (16 and 11 y/o) had a wonderful time at Delphine and Espen's beautifully restored 100 years old log cabin. Both Delphine and Espen are such wonderful hosts. Delphine responded fast to my queries and Espen was very warm, nice and friendly when we checked in. We also went on a private dog sledding activity with Espen which turned out to be great fun and filled with excitement for the entire family! My husband and I decided to be passengers for the sleds while our boys be the drivers! The scenery along the dog sledding route was amazing! If you book the accomodation, book the dog sledding activity too! You won't regret it!

Lovely cabin in spectacular surroundings. What a beautiful view from the couch! We loved it, highly recommended.

The apartment is located in a quite neighborhood at the top of the mountain. The bus stop is only a few hundred meters away. Across the street you have a beautiful view of the city, on the last evening we watched the aurora lights above the house, the city and the stony, really very nice. For skiers (cross-country skiing) the area is perfect. There are several illuminated trails in the immediate vicinity (e.g. Charlottenlund or Prestvatnet). I also liked the Tromsø Alpinpark. They are very nice hosts, I didn't have to ask any questions at all, as everything was answered beforehand via the Airbnb app (code for the key box, Wi-Fi, garbage separation, access to the apartment, ...). Since it was not my first stay in Tromsø, I did not rely on excursion tips, but there are several brochures on the shelf for this. By bus you are down in the city in about 10 minutes. The surroundings (generally northern Norway) are beautiful.

The house was perfect! The jacuzzi, the view outside at the fjord and it was so cosy inside. Everything you need was in the kitchen. Outside there was a good bbq. We loved everything! Remi answered immediately when we had a question. It was wonderful to hear the waves from the sea, we had an absolutely relaxing week!

The views are magical from the porch , sauna and jacuzzi absolutely superb. Very good kitchen and place for many in the house. Close to the hike, ski and fishing , Ludvig is a helpful host.

We were very much looking forward to our stay in Norway and the host was always available. We chose to stay in peace and nature with sauna and hot tub. For the use of this, we had to pay extra which is not very clearly stated. For this price, maybe a little more wood provided because you will certainly not be able to use this and since the price is already pricey anyway, if this is unlimited, we find it. The house was clean, spacious and beautiful view. However, a dangerous staircase, especially the hole down when you are upstairs. Children who are playing do not always have this in mind, maybe a fence provided for safety! The fireplace is definitely a plus because we love this coziness. We were able to admire the northern lights 5 of the 6 nights from the terrace. The kitchen equipment may be a little more extensive. We missed a mixer to mix our soup and a colander to shake off the spaghetti.

Very well planned and nice apartment. Host Frank is nice and helpful in all contact.

Every good very communicative and friendly.

A beautiful location, with fantastic hosts!

Very nice host and who responds quickly if you have questions or concerns about anything. Have nothing to complain about and can really recommend this host and place!
