Welcome to Kjøsnes Feriehytter in beautiful Jølster – a unique base for experiencing both nature and culture. Here, you’ll be living next door to the famous Jølstra trout, in the very landscape that inspired Nikolai Astrup, one of Norway’s most renowned painters from the early 1900s.
The cabins are beautifully located with panoramic views over the iconic Jølstravatnet lake. This is a sunny and peaceful spot where the glacier meets the fjord, making Jølster the perfect place to explore the dramatic contrasts of Fjord Norway.
Each cabin is of a high standard and located in tranquil surroundings – ideal for both relaxation and adventure. A child-friendly area close to a swimming beach makes this a great choice for families. Enjoy quiet mornings by the lake and evenings with sunset views over the mountains. Parking is available right by your cabin, and boat rentals – both with and without motor – are offered if you’d like to explore the lake.
Cabins are primarily rented from Saturday to Saturday, and accommodate 2 to 6 guests comfortably.
