Norwegian holiday home directly on Lake Vravatn and in the middle of nature

Villa Hofseth consists of two smartly connected houses. A separate living house and a separate sleeping house. This smart design ensures maximum privacy and quietness for every guest.

From the entrance you enter the living area that is characterized by the large windows. The living room has a 3-seater lounge sofa and 2 separate lounge chairs. In addition to the standalone fireplace are another 2 comfortable seats. The wooden floors and whitewashed walls make it a warm space that looks very warm even without the fireplace. From the living room the high windows provide a beautiful view of the lake and the mountains. All doors to the outside have a sliding horseshoe system to keep insects out.

Upon entering, there is a separate drying room where you can hang or put down the coats, shoes, ski equipment or hiking equipment. Here is also the luxury washing machine and dryer with ample capacity. There is also an extra toilet in the entrance hall. This entire space has floorheating.

The modern kitchen is in open connection with the living room, so these two separate rooms are actually experienced as 1 space. The kitchen is in a corner arrangement with a spacious and wide counter that can be used for cooking. The induction hob ensures a safe cooking environment and all cooking utensils are present. There is a fridge-freezer combination with drawers in the freezer. There is also a dishwasher, Nespresso coffee machine, oven and separate microwave. There is a kitchen table that can be extended to a capacity of 8 people.

Villa Hofseth has opted for a sleeping house that is separate from the living area. This is to guarantee a good night's sleep without sounds from the living room for people who want to go to bed earlier. The sleeping area consists of 2 floors with 2 bedrooms and a bathroom on each floor. In 3 bedrooms there are 2 beds of excellent quality with firm but very comfortable hotel mattresses. Each bed is equipped with a down comforter and pillow.

There are two bathrooms in the house. In addition to the shower room with rain shower head, the first bathroom also has a bathtub. There are 2 sinks and a toilet. The second bathroom on the ground floor has a shower with rain shower head, double sinks, a toilet and a spacious sauna. From this bathroom there is direct access to the veranda with views over the lake and to the hot tub.

This villa has a veranda that meets all needs. The size, over the entire width of the house, provides a spacious dining table, a lounge set and an outdoor fireplace. There are also outside heaters on the wall of the house for the cooler evenings, so that you can still sit outside with a blanket over you on the couch. These heaters give you just that extra heat that you need. You can completely unwind with a view of the Vravatn lake and mountains, with the outdoor fireplace on. You can also enjoy the hot tub on the veranda. Hot water fired by wood fire in the tub gives you a real spa feeling when you sit in the hot water with a drink in your hand.

Wunderbares Haus in phantastischer Umgebung
Wir haben uns wunderbar erholen können, trotz des üblichen norwegischen Wetters, Kamin und Sauna bei Regen, selbst wenn man nur kurz regenfreie Stunden nutzen wollte, war man sofort mitten in wunderbarer Natur mit See, Wanderungen vom Haus weg, Beeren und Pilze sammeln. 5 min mit dem Auto entfernt in Vradal die Möglichkeit, Boote auszuleihen (Kanus, Ruderboote, Kajaks, Tretboote) zu absolut fairem Preis.

Comfortable house surrounded by stunning nature
We had a great stay in the beginning of the Norwegian summer. We were very lucky with the weather, which was very sunny and warm for the month of June, but I‘m sure that we would’ve also had a great time with less good weather, because the house is very comfortable with really great views on the lake. The hot top is great, definitely use it when you have the chance to! We travelled with 6 persons and the house was definitely big enough for everyone to have some time for themselves if one wanted to. There were small misfunctions with the oven and the gas grill, but Erik was able to help with a quick phone call. Overall very nice stay and contact!

A gem in the middle of nature
This idyllically located cottage really had everything to offer our family (5 adults, 1 teenager) that you could want from a place to relax and unwind at this time of year. So to speak THE place to recharge: picturesque nature, plus the lake directly in front of the house surrounded by an impressive mountain panorama. After excursions in the autumn freshness warm up in the sauna or hot tub, evenings playing board games by the crackling fireplace. The house has a cozy feel with its tasteful and practical furnishings. The room layout is spacious with several sitting areas in the living area, but also in terms of the size of the bedrooms and bathrooms. Nothing is missing in the equipment and the possibilities that the kitchen has to offer invite you to cook. Also the variety of activities and excursions that Vrådal and the surrounding area have to offer make this house an attractive place to stay in any season. We are up for another stay!

Sehr schönes Ferienhaus
Es handelt sich um ein sehr schönes und geräumiges Ferienhaus in ruhiger Lage mit sehr nettem Ausblick. Die Terrasse ist riesig und lädt zum Verweilen ein. Eine schöne Badebucht mit einem kleinem Strand ist in nächster Umgebung. Der Kontakt zum Vermieter klappt sehr gut.

Perfektes Urlaubshaus
Wir waren eine Woche im Herbst in Kviteseid und sind ganz begeistert abgereist. Im Haus fehlt es an absolut gar nichts. Die Kinder haben den HotTub geliebt und die Umgebung bietet viele Möglichkeiten für wunderbare Wanderungen.

Beautiful retreat in the Norwegian nature
Beautiful clean and modern house that is right on the bank of the Vravatn. The house offers everything you need for a proper vacation. Particularly noteworthy are the many excursion and hiking opportunities that are in the immediate vicinity of the house. In general, the region and, accordingly, the house is ideal for anyone who wants to retreat for a certain time in the Norwegian countryside and just enjoy the tranquility and nature. The homeowners were always helpful and caring in case we had any questions about the house or any other matter.

Entspannter Urlaub in traumhafter Natur
Das Haus ist genau so schön wie auf den Fotos. Es war mehr als genug Platz für unsere 6-köpfige Familie. Alles ist sauber und neuwertig. Das Haus ist geschmackvoll eingerichtet, so dass man sich sofort wohl fühlt. In der Küche findet man alles was man braucht. Die nach Süden ausgerichtete Terrasse ist groß und man hat von der bequemen Sitzlandschaft einen traumhaften Blick auf den See und die Berge. Zwei kleine Badebuchten sind nur wenige Meter entfernt. Dort kann man in herrlich klarem Wasser schwimmen gehen. Die Umgebung bietet viel Möglichkeiten zum wandern, Kanu und Fahrrad fahren. Überall wachsen Blaubeeren. Definitiv ein tolles Haus in wunderschöner Natur zum Urlaub machen.
