About this property

Tusen Takk is Norwegian for "a thousand thanks". Our wish for your visit here is for time to relax and remember what you are thankful for and what makes your life good.

We are a bright red home located on a side street, just 4 blocks from downtown. We offer 3 bedrooms, large living and dining areas, a sweet patio spot and a fenced in yard. Start up the fire pit and share your stories around the flames. Walk downtown to your favorite coffee place and enjoy this charming town.

Cute place close to downtown

Nice clean place. Had record player which was fun to use listening to some old records while hanging out. Would have been nice to have a bathroom also upstairs for those staying up there but not a big deal for both couple to share one. Owner communicated very well. Place was super clean with lots of little extras which made it special

Great Cozy Location

Lovely place to stay for the price. Shower was finicky and wifi network wasn’t defined or maybe password was inaccurate. Don’t stay here if you need to use the bathroom in the middle of the night. If you stay in the upstairs bedrooms, it’s a trek.
