Lovely summer house near Risør with boat

Lovely summer house near Risør with boat

10/10 Excellent
"A beautiful Scandinavian-style vacation home, tastefully furnished and very well equipped. Located at the end of the fjord in a vacation home community, though somewhat remote; the property’s own boat is too small for more than 3 people and for longer trips. Since the ferry to Risør was discontinued on August 26, we had to drive 40 minutes to get there. Beautiful, but very secluded in the off-season: the canoe trip on Skarvann. The archipelago tour with Jürgen’s boat taxi comes highly recommended. Lots of nature and peace and quiet! It might be a completely different experience during peak season!"

10/10 Excellent
"An absolutely stunning, stylish house situated in the most beautiful surroundings, enveloped by the magical Norwegian nature. It is an architectural gem that exudes style and personality. The house is located in a completely secluded setting. It has everything you could possibly need. A lovely spot for a swim is just a 5-minute walk away. We recommend renting a boat to explore the area from the water. It’s much easier to visit the surrounding towns by boat than by car."
