The location – why it's so good
You are right between Stavanger and the Lysefjorden. This means:
- Close to Preikestolen - close to fjord cruises - close to town and shops - but without tourist crowds
Many guests choose this place because hotels around Preikestolen are often busy and expensive - here you have space and nature.
- Activities in the area Pulpit Rock
± 35 minutes drive (Preikestolen Basecamp)
The most famous hike in Norway (604 meters above the fjord). Well laid out path, about 4–5 hours total walking.
Tip: go early in the morning or in the evening → much quieter and more beautiful light.
Lysefjorden - fjord cruise & RIB boats
- Lauvvik ferry port – 30 min drive Departing daily: - fjord cruises - Sightseeing boats - RIB safaris
You see: - Pulpits from below - waterfalls - steep rock walls - often seals
Recommended: Rødne Fjord Cruise (Lysefjord Safari) Departure from Stavanger or Lauvvik, among others
Motorboat rental
A lot of tourists don't know that, but this is one of the nicest things here.
1. Lysefjorden Marina (Forsand) A 25-minute drive You can: - rent small motor boats (without a license) - fishing for cod and mackerel - Explore the fjord yourself
Perfect day program.
2. Fossmork Marina/Forsand Båthavn
- ± 25 minutes Also renting aluminum fishing boats with motor.
Many guests even enjoy this more than a fjord cruise because you go up the fjord yourself.
Kayak & canoe You can kayak on the Lysefjord:
Nordic Paddling - Jørpeland - 35 min Guided tours and rentals.
This is a top activity (many international guests book this).
Kjerag & Kjeragbolts - 2 hours drive (day trip)
The famous stone between the rocks at 1000 meters altitude. Spectacular — but easy to do if you are fit.
Stavanger – city & restaurants
40 min drive - Gamle Stavanger (old wooden houses) - restaurants - museums - shops - Port
Perfect for a day of culture after nature.
Sandnes (amenities) A 25-minute drive
Here you will find: - Supermarkets (Rema 1000, Coop, Extra) - Vinmonopolet (liquor store) - Pharmacy - restaurants - bakeries
Summer - walking - Swimming in lakes - fishing - kayaking - boat sailing - long light evenings

So you don't have to travel deep into Norway to be in the middle of the fjords—that makes this home unique.

About the wood-fired hot tub The home features a traditional wood-fired hot tub. Please note that it takes about 3 hours for the water to reach the right temperature.
Heating the hot tub is part of the authentic Norwegian outdoor experience. Unlike an electric Jacuzzi, a wood-fired hot tub requires some preparation. You fill the hot tub with water, turn on the heater, keep an eye on the temperature, and add extra wood as needed during heating. Many guests experience this as a cozy and unique activity that fits perfectly with a stay in the Norwegian countryside.
