Perfect Cabin on Sognefjord
The wooden cabin with grass roof at Brekke Cabins was perfect for our family! We were there 3 nights, but wished we could have stayed longer. The cabin was very clean, comfortably furnished and the kitchen had everything we needed. The location in the tiny town of Ortnevik on the Sognefjord is spectacular. We had breathtaking views of the fjord from our porch and amazing hiking right from the cabin door. Highlights of our stay included: exploring the sculpture garden on the property (carved by the owner's father); hiking to the lake above the cabin, and the waterfall beyond that; meeting friendly, local cows on the trails. It is truly one of the most beautiful, peaceful places we have ever been, and we hope to get back someday! One note: We rented a car for our trip, and arrived by ferry from Nordeide to Ortnevik. Ideally, you should have a reservation for this ferry. We did not know this, and luckily there was a spot for us, but make a reservation if you can. Also, you must back the car onto this ferry.

Escape from the world.
Absolutely superb stay in a cabin, that allows you to shut yourself from the world and literally not see another person for days. We loved the peace and the birdsong and the sounds of water running. But we were also able to jump in car and a ferry or two and cross the fjords to see other things. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend and hope to return soon.

What a quaint, cozy cabin in a spectacular location!
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the Wooden Cabin. All the comforts of home were available in a cozy cabin tucked away in a secluded location! Ortnevik and the surrounding area is like Disney World for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts! If we ever have the opportunity to return to Norway someday, we will definitely stay here again!

Magical!
We stayed in the wood cabin for 4 nights and we couldn’t have dreamed of a better experience. It truly is a magical and mesmerising place - waking up to the ever-changing views of the fjord, valley and forests each day and having our morning coffees on the deck whilst cuddling the cats and seeing the fog slowly lifting from the mountains flanking the fjords - priceless. The cabin itself is super comfortable, warm and cosy and has everything you need. We hiked a lot and even attempted some rowing in Eldar’s boat, but we clearly overestimated our rowing skills a bit :) Ortnevik is a lovely little village, the main road literally ends there and whilst the shop has some of the basic supplies I’d definitely recommend stocking up on groceries (and wine, if you’re like us!) before coming to the cabins. Even though it was August and we were very lucky with the weather, we built a fire every day as the evenings do get chilly regardless of the season. To us, this just was the perfect place to relax, unwind, fill our lungs with air, disconnect from everything and just simply soak up the beauty around us. Thank you Eldar and family for creating such a magical place and being such kind hosts!

A peaceful retreat amongst the mountains.
We had a wonderful four nights in the wooden cabin and really felt 'amongst nature'. Lungfuls of fresh Norwegian air. The cabin had everything we needed, was comfortable and cosy; a real 'home from home'. we made good use of the balcony to relax and plenty of walks nearby for exercise. Many thanks to Eldar for helping us arrange local transport prior to our arrival, for making us feel so welcome and collecting us from the ferry. I would recommend this to everyone!

A cosy hide-away in a beautiful and tranquile setting
My partner and I had a fantastic time staying in the Wood Cabin. It is very cosy, especially with a fire lit up, and has a beautiful view of the fjord. The cabin has everything you need and more, so there is no need to encounter the world outside unless you want to take a stroll in the stunning surroundings of Norwegian wilderness. Eldar was a very welcoming, kind and helpful host. This place definitely feels like a home away from home!

Enchanting and beautiful remote cabin
We loved staying at the cabin! It was pleasantly furnished with very friendly and accommodating hosts. If you're looking for a place to get away from it all, breathtaking views, enchanted forests, rushing waterfalls, then you have to stay here. We met the older gentleman who built the cabin and made all the buildings and carvings around the area. Truly a master craftsman! The road getting to Ortenvik can be a little intimidating since it's quite narrow along the coastline. The local store has a great variety of finds including the basics though there is limited hours. We would come back to the cabin and village in a heartbeat!!

Stunning views, great cosy and very comfortable cabin. Couldn't have wished for a better holiday!
We are a family of three with a five year old boy and booked this trip hoping the location would be interesting enough to keep a child happy and relaxing enough for the grown ups to chill out! It was perfect! The landscape changed daily, so our view from the cabin was breathtaking every moment of every day. The walks in the surrounding area kept us all interested (mum not so outdoorsy, husband very outdoorsy) and we even managed a little mountain climbing that wasn't too much for our son! It made coming home to the super cosy comfort of our cabin all the more delightful! We had a mix of snow, rain, fog and warm sunshine - the constant shift was lovely and this location would be wonderful any time of year. Would definitely go back! Worth noting that there is no local pub, bar, cafe or anything of that sort, so arrive prepared! It's very remote and this is it's charm.

beautiful house in a great location
Good communication and preparation by the owner. The cleanliness on arrival was good and the online listing matched the reality. The location of the house is very nice. The furnishings match the type of house. Very harmonious overall. However, be careful with the connection: The ferry connection between Nordeide and Ortnevik is extremely poor. If you arrive on a Saturday, for example, you only have two departure times from Nordeide to choose from: 12.45 and 14.55. On the other days it doesn't look much better. We only used the Oppedal-Lavik connection. However, this always means a journey of approx. 60 km from Oppedal to Ortnevik.

Boshut in prachtige omgeving
Eenvoudige maar comfortabele hut aan de rand van het bos. Charmante plek met mooi uitzicht op de vallei en de fjord. Perfect voor koppel want kleine slaapkamer. Voor 6 is het heel klein. Redelijk afgelegen want weg eindigt in het dorp. Best inkopen doen vooraf want slechts kleine winkel in dorp die niet iedere dag open is. Mooie maar wel moeilijke wandelmogelijkheden vanuit de hut. Veel klimmen op zeer ongelijk terrein. Wij hebben er van genoten en zouden zeker terugkomen als we in de buurt passeren.

Traumhafte Lage
Auch über das anfänglich schlechte Wetter konnte man wegen der beeindruckenden Lage und der Unterkunft hinwegsehen. Das "Wood Cabin" ist für zwei Personen sehr geräumig und super ausgestattet. Ich hätte mich gewünscht, dass das Lattenrost des großen Bettes nicht so knarrt. Bei jeder Bewegung klang es so, als würde es brechen. Dadurch war man ständig wach. Hinzu kommt, dass das dritte Bett nur wenige Zentimeter über dem Fußende des Hauptbettes hängt und ich ständig mit den Schienbeinen anstieß.
