Vacation rentals in Skipsfjorden

The fourth year in a row in this beautiful place. It's long drive from where I live but always worth it. There was an Aurora show quite often this year, this depends on the Sun cycle though. The bright blue sky at Sunrise and the ever changing snow is magic.

Ola’s cabin was excellent, we thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The area around the cabin was beautiful and provided the most stunning views to wake up to in the morning. The cabin was well equipped and furnished well. Everything you could need was included. Petrol Station with small shop was located 10 minutes down the road with bigger shops being located around 1 hour away. If visiting, i’d highly recommend the 2 hour drive to Nordkapp, the highest point in Continental Europe. The drive up the E69 has lovely scenery and there is a cafe, gift shop and museum. The drive is more than achievable as long as you have a AWD car. There are busses from Honningsvåg if that is more accessible. Overall, amazing stay. Thank you 🙏🏻

We were there to drive to the North Cape. From the first moment we felt very much at home It was like visiting acquaintances. Everything was very well prepared. The house is well furnished and has everything for everyday use. The location is wonderful. Outside there was a snowstorm and we sat in the house and looked out the window. Lene was always available to us. Overall, everything is very good and definitely more than recommended.

The location was beautiful and quiet. The hosts were friendly and helpful.

Renate is a very kind and helpful host. She provided great instructions to the cabin and other advice as we asked. The place is charming. Besides the living room the other spaces are small but well thought out and you have all the necessities. For me these were the most comfortable sheets I have had in Norway. We listened to music, cooked a delicious diner and even had some Northern lights. The stairs to the extra bed are not comfortable and can hurt your feet - it is best to climb them with shoes. If you have a sleeper upstairs think to close all the curtains in the living room - we had day light as early as 3 am and this was disruptive for the person upstairs. Otherwise it is perfect and the view is gorgeous. No other neighbors: just you and the lake (and Renate’s house nearby but not obstructing your view).

Great place, I can't imagine anything better for aurora viewing. Very remote area, nearest shop is about 20 minutes away by car, Nordkapp is about 20 minutes too depending on the weather. Apartment is nice, surprisingly warm and cozy. Host is very friendly and responsive, all problems were quickly resolved. The only downsides are very thin inside walls (soundwise) and lack of shower tray, bathroom floor gets easily wet. Definitely can recommend and gladly would visit again.

Very well equipped kitchen. Spacious for two people but eating could be a little difficult with more people. The appartment was really clean and decorated with a lot of love. The communication with the hosts was easy and very friendly.

we had a lovely stay. There would also have been a sauna in the wooden barrel (but unfortunately had too little time for this). Very good value for money. Marianne was very kind and very supportive.

I arrived by cruise ship and Jakup and Nina’s place is a couple of bus stops away from the harbour. You can also choose to walk about 17 minutes there. Their place is right by the sea where you can see sea gulls and other sea birds catching fish, and it is also just a 12-15 minute walk to the town centre. The view from the house is beautiful, and I managed to see the northern lights from there. The hosts are very friendly and helpful. As public transport to and from Honningsvåg airport is quite inconvenient (there are only 1 or 2 taxis on the island, they’re difficult to get, and the nearest bus stop from the airport is about 4km from the airport), Nina very kindly offered to take me to the airport. Thank you for your hospitality Nina and Jakup!
