About the cabin
The house is located on the Haugstad Øvre farm in Venabygd, about 7 km from Ringebu city center.
You can come here and enjoy birdsong with your morning coffee on the stairs, or use the house as a starting point for great trail biking. The mountain offers both hunting and fishing opportunities. There are plenty of opportunities to take life easy or enjoy the surroundings with various activities.
The building was built at the end of the 1800s and was referred to as “eldhuset”. Eldhus is, as the name suggests, a building with a fireplace. In many ways, the firehouse functioned as a scullery in the past. Slaughter was cut, soap was boiled, beer was brewed, flatbread was baked and clothes were washed. Food for larger gatherings was often prepared in the fireplace.
The house has one bedroom with a good bed and a secluded location.
Living room with kitchen area, including oven and fridge. Coffee maker and other kitchen furnishings.
In the living room there is also a bed with a slightly shorter length, as well as a sofa bed that can be converted into a double bed.
Bathroom with shower.
