Family-friendly holiday rentals in Finnsnes

By renting the little cabin, Marianne and George open the door to their little paradise. In their place you will feel love, real nature and one of the most beautiful landscape ever, even the drive to and from Tromso is breathtaking. For people seeking a true experience in nature this is the perfect place. The cabin is remote, a step back in time, no mod cons and this is it’s beauty. A cosy, warm little haven in the beautiful wild. It is well thought out - all the instructions given by Marianne and George, and noted around the cabin ensure your stay is seamless and answers all the questions you might have - it is important to listen to them, especially as you are in the middle of the wild, responsible for your own warmth and staying in someone’s home. You are stepping back in time, at one with nature. This is a magical place. Marianne and George are kind and welcoming people. In the middle of an area flooded with guides and tourists and impersonal experiences they are a true find. Passionate about nature and the aurora, experts in the region (Marianne is a local). If you’re looking for other experiences whilst staying in the area - they are the perfect people to ask (especially aurora hunting). Going to the cabin is a truly unique experience. We are leaving with stars in our eyes and will definitely return.

A beautiful cabin at a beautiful location, nice hosts and good size bedrooms.

The house of Trond was perfect ! Many activities were possible at Jaeger Adventure Camp (Check it on internet). We had an absolutely wonderful stay! The host's friendliness, flexibility, and attention to detail made our experience truly exceptional. The surrounding nature, especially the stunning fjord, added a breathtaking backdrop to our trip. Highly recommend!

Beautiful location with comfortable living area. Hot tub, fireplace worked great. Igloo looked cool, may want to add that option (if possible). It was cloudy while we were there, but the northern lights we did see seemed to want to be right over this house. Recommend cooking own meals (we did), resturants can be far. We did travel a couple hours away to hike Sukkertoppen trail in Hamn. Very cool coastal trail/hike. In winter recommend spikes. Challenging hike. Then visited Gryllefjord for dinner. Amazing mountain/fjord views. Good fish and friendly folks.

we had a great time, family with 3 kids, 12, 10, 9 years. Great flat, very nice contact with Elisabeth. Senja is great!

The place was just as described, super cozy and with a fantastic view. Arthur gave us a very warm welcome, gave us some tips for Tromsø and even brought drinks for the hot tub. We felt very comfortable and would come back anytime. Thank you :)

An absolutely successful stay in Norway. Very friendly and uncomplicated communication from start to finish. We felt completely comfortable. The house is a dream to unplug. Quiet location with a great view. Sauna, hot tub or a cozy fire in the fireplace help with this. We did not miss anything in the house. We would come back any time, it was really great. Thank you for everything.

Stay and book within the city of Tromsø for 2-3 days and the rest of your stay, you MUST book one of Freddy’s campers. Beyond the city, you will see the real beauty of Tromsø. We stayed at Freddy’s place for 5 nights! Within six days, 1. We saw the Aurora Borealis dancing right in front of Freddy’s property. 2. We watched the most beautiful green, pink, purple Aurora Borealis during our last night right at Freddy’s backyard. 💚💜💖 3. We hiked twice in different areas 30-mins away by driving from Freddy’s place, 4. We had a walk in the nearby area 5. We ate quail eggs (gifted to us by Freddy). 6. There was a day when we just stayed in the camper, enjoyed the view and read a book. We also walked around the area that day. 7. From afar, we saw Moose and Reindeers. 8. Max the cat, the ducks and Geese are a plus! So adorable! We really wanted to get around the places outside the city, good thing Freddy had an extra car for us to rent. We can assure you, renting a car and driving around is worth the view, worth the everything! 😉 The camper was clean, complete and organize as we arrived. For two people, it is very spacious. The view from the window is stunning. The camper is well-heated. 30mins away, there is a local grocery store. We ate there once and we liked it, and we did our groceries from there too. Karin welcomed us and explained to us everything. Freddy was very helpful with many tips to give us. You can ask him anything about Tromsø. He lent us snow shoes and walking sticks for hiking. We wouldn’t have hiked without it. They are both hospitable and very interesting people to talk with. So if you’re planning a trip outside of Tromsø city, Freddy’s camper is the place to be!

Nick and Penny were extremely helpful and helped us to settle down when we arrived, got us some essential groceries and guided us. The surroundings are peaceful and have a great view. We could see dancing Northern lights at midnight from their apartment. It was a beautiful experience to stay at their apartment.

It was a great pleasure to stay at Gunnar’s lovely house. With an outstanding view including mountains and sea, you can still feel the calm atmosphere. We will always remember our days in Tromso and the house. Additionally it takes only 15 minutes from the airport. Just to remember, finding a taxi or Uber can be challenging in rush hours. Thank you for a remarkable experience!

Beautifully located, right by the Huskies. Cozy, lovingly furnished cabin. Breakfast is sensational and highly recommended

The apartment is located in a quite neighborhood at the top of the mountain. The bus stop is only a few hundred meters away. Across the street you have a beautiful view of the city, on the last evening we watched the aurora lights above the house, the city and the stony, really very nice. For skiers (cross-country skiing) the area is perfect. There are several illuminated trails in the immediate vicinity (e.g. Charlottenlund or Prestvatnet). I also liked the Tromsø Alpinpark. They are very nice hosts, I didn't have to ask any questions at all, as everything was answered beforehand via the Airbnb app (code for the key box, Wi-Fi, garbage separation, access to the apartment, ...). Since it was not my first stay in Tromsø, I did not rely on excursion tips, but there are several brochures on the shelf for this. By bus you are down in the city in about 10 minutes. The surroundings (generally northern Norway) are beautiful.

Lovely cozy old small cottage house, immediately felt like home <3 A little squank so vertigo on the first evening but it passed the next day. Went for daily morning swims in the sea, baked bread and skiid mountains. Perfect peaceful location on Kvaloya. Especially lovely snd functional kitchen, even had a smoothie blender and beautiful bowls. The road to the house tends to be undrivable if it snows and slushes but it worked great to arrange snow clearing directly with Siv’s brother Gaute who lives nearby (because if you park near the main road, then nobody can clear the snow). Ha det bra och tusen tack för allt!

We had a wonderful stay at Eva and Inge's. Their Airbnb had everything we needed and more. They were also wonderful hosts. We hope to be back before too long. Thank you!

This is the perfect spot to explore Tromso from. Erik is so nice and ready to help with any questions. Apartment is right by bus stop, and a short walk to the downtown.

The chalet is perfect for spending a few days there. The view from the terrace is beautiful! There are very beautiful hikes to do near the accommodation.

My best recommendations. Everything was perfect from initial communication to check out. The beautiful apartment is centrally located and yet very quite. And what a view!

We thoroughly enjoyed the stay. The view from the house to the fjord is fantastic! The house is very nice and cozy. The sauna is also very nice and also offers a beautiful view of the fjord. Would book again in a heartbeat!

Kjersti's place is extremely cozy. It has everything you need to spend a few days or more. The place may be a little far from the cities but if you are looking for calm it's perfect, I recommend it!

Was this 3 times here and it was great. Super host very easy communication. Super clean. I'd love to come back.

Great stay at Jakob's. The apartment is perfect for a few days' stay. Comfortable, well heated, it met our expectations. Wine and chocolate were waiting for us on the table when we arrived and some basic products were available in the refrigerator. It was much appreciated. The accommodation is the right size for a couple who can enjoy the bed in the room. Otherwise a sofa can be used as an extra bed in the living room for children for example. We recommend this listing to future guests.

This was our first visit to Tromsø, and we couldn’t have found a better place to stay. About 30 minutes drive from the city, the apartment is beautifully located by the fjord—peaceful and scenic. Susann and her family were warm and welcoming. We travelled with our 1.5-year-old and were touched by the thoughtful touches—travel cot, age-appropriate toys, books, and even a winter suit for our little one. The weather turned out colder than expected, but thankfully the hosts had winter gear like suits and crampons available for rent at reasonable prices. We especially enjoyed the campfire spot (we were there 2 afternoons during our 4nights stay) and were so grateful when they cleared the snowy path for us after hearing we couldn’t find it. The apartment was clean, spacious, and perfect for our family of three. Highly recommended—Susann and Jørgen are wonderful hosts!

Our stay at this beautiful home was absolutely unforgettable. We spent three nights here and were thrilled to witness the mesmerizing Northern Lights during our visit. The house has breathtaking views and a stunning, thoughtfully designed interior that made every moment feel special. Hanne went above and beyond by providing incredibly helpful information on everything—from the local weather updates to fantastic recommendations for nearby attractions and dining spots. Their support truly enhanced our overall experience. We highly recommend this charming place to anyone looking to explore the beauty of the region while enjoying a comfortable and memorable stay.

Everything went smoothly. Highly recommended.
