About this property

Traditional family log cabin built in 1916

Larsbu is our family cabin with lots of history which we enjoy sharing with others. The cabin has 2 floors with steep steps up to 2 separate bedrooms. The kitchen is well equipped with a log burner for additional heat in the winter. The shower room has a separate toilet. The living room is comfortable and can seat 8 at the dining table. There are plenty of games, books and things to do. The living room also has an open fireplace. The cabin is a unique place and we don’t have WiFi. It’s an opportunity for you and your family or friends to enjoy the mountains and all that it has to offer.All our children and grandchildren have a very personal relationship with Larsbu so we ask that you are very careful with the log burner and the fire place please.

Very nice stay in Ustaoset
We enjoyed the stay there a lot. The weather was not always great so it was perfect to have a nice place to stay inside.

Larsbu
Nydelig hytte på fantastiske Ustaoset. Det er bare å ta på seg skoene og vandre rett ut i naturen, vidde og fjell. Hytten, "Larsbu" har sjel. Koselige rom, og tipp topp kjøkken og baderom. På "glassverandaen" i front er det utrolig hyggelig å sitte med kaffekoppen og se utover fjellandskapet. Et opphold på Larsbu anbefales på det varmeste. Kristine

About the host

Host profile image
I grew up in Norway and Larsbu has been in our family for many years. We still use Larsbu but would like to shear the experience with others.
Please contact me if you have any questions.

Why they chose this property

Ustaoset is a perfect place for hikes in the summer and cross country skiing in the winter.
All paths and tracks are just outside the front door! It’s peaceful and we have amazing views from the cabin over the lake ustevann.
If you want a real adventure you could take the train to Finse or cycle the Rallarvegen.
I’m very happy to give you more information once you have booked.
Larsbu is a unique place with lots of history. It was occupied during the war but nothing was damaged luckily.
In the summer you can park directly outside the cabin. If you are on foot and don't wish to walk up you can call the local taxi company at Geilo on number +47 32091000 which will be happy to help. It’s about a 20 min walk from the train station. In the winter months you can not drive up so you will need to contact the local man for a snow scooter ride or you can walk up. It takes about 20 min to walk or cross-country ski. There are car parking spaces by the local shop and petrol station which can be rented by the day. Please contact me for more information. We can also provide extra wood for the fireplace if needed. All these details will be available once you have booked. This is our old family cabin and we use it on a regular basis. We ask you to leave it as you find it. Should you have any questions please just ask.
Ustaoset has its own train station with direct trains from Oslo or Bergen. The cabin is also easily reached by road from Oslo or Bergen- just 3 1/2 hours from Oslo.

What makes this property unique

We have no WiFi but the 4G signal is very good. You will get a unique experience staying here. The cabin is full of family history and an amazing insight to what life was like 60-70 year’s ago.
