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!

Wir hatten einen sehr schönen Aufenthalt gehabt! Check-In und Check-Out per Schlüsselbox und alles war frisch bezogen. Auf Anfrage hat man uns auch Trinkwasser bereitgestellt. Bitte beachtet dass aufgrund der Wasserfärbung eigenes stilles Wasser mitgebracht werden sollte, bekommt man auch in jeden Einkaufsladen. Der Coop in Mestervik ist ca. 25 Minuten mit dem Auto entfernt und ist die nächste Einkaufsmöglichkeit. Ansonsten haben wir auch von Nachbarn nichts mitbekommen bzw. nichts gehört. Man hat tatsächlich ein schönes ruhiges Örtchen, mit herrlichen Ausblick und den Fjord und die dahinterliegende Bergkette. Der Whirpool war ganz einfach zu benutzen und ist ständig gewärmt. Die Sauna lässt sich mit Holz beheizen. Wir hatten eine sehr schöne Woche und würden wieder kommen. Über angebliches Viehzeug im Haus können wir nichts sagen, bei uns war alles sauber und ordentlich. Fahrt am Besten im Winter mit 4x4 und Spikes. Die Straße zur Unterkunft vereist gerne mal.

Vi hadde noen fantastiske dager hos Elisabeth på Annabu! Vi var to mødre og to kusiner som hadde planer om å gå noen toppturer i området og ønsket en fint sted å bo. Elisabeth møtte oss ved ankomst og ga oss full forklaring for alt i hjemmet samt flotte tur- og serverdighetstips! Leiligheten var veldig godt utrustet med sengetøy, håndklær og tørr- og basisvarer😍 Kunne ikke vært bedre beliggenhet rett på vannet, akkurat som vist på bilder. Jeg og mine har aldri vært så fornøyd med et Airbnb sted og vertinne 😁 anbefales på det sterkeste!!

Die Unterkunft war genau wie beschrieben, super gemütlich und mit einer traumhaften Aussicht. Arthur hat uns sehr herzlich empfangen, uns einige Tipps für Tromsø gegeben und sogar noch Getränke für den Whirlpool gebracht. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und würden jederzeit wiederkommen. Vielen Dank :)

Ein absolut gelungener Aufenthalt in Norwegen. Sehr freundliche und unkomplizierte Kommunikation von Anfang bis Ende. Wir haben uns rundum wohl gefühlt. Das Haus ist ein Traum um abzuschalten. Ruhige Lage mit toller Aussicht. Sauna, Whirlpool oder ein gemütliches Feuer im Kamin helfen dabei. Uns hat es an nichts gefehlt im Haus. Wir würden jederzeit wieder kommen, es war wirklich toll. Danke für alles.

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!

Ottima esperienza in una casa molto accogliente e pulita e con gli host sempre disponibili ad aiutarti. posizione vicina al centro, facilmente raggiungibile con 3 fermate di bus, zona splendida soprattutto per i dintorni, con una vista spettacolare sulla città e abbiamo avuto anche la fortuna di vedere l'aurora boreale dalla finestra.

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!

Wunderschön gelegen, direkt bei den Huskies. Gemütliche, liebevoll eingerichtete Hütte. Das Frühstück ist sensationell und sehr zu empfehlen

Die Wohnung befindet sich in einer ruhigen Gegend oben auf dem Berg. Die Bushaltestelle ist nur wenige hundert Meter entfernt. Auf der anderen Straßenseite hat man einen wunderschönen Ausblick auf die Stadt, am letzten Abend haben wir von dort die Polarlichter über dem Haus, der Stadt und dem Storsteinen beobachtet, wirklich sehr schön. Für Skifahrer (Langlauf) ist die Gegend perfekt. In unmittelbarer Nähe befinden sich mehrere beleuchtete Loipen (z.B. Charlottenlund oder Prestvatnet). Auch der Tromsø Alpinpark hat mir gut gefallen. Es sind sehr nette Gastgeber, ich musste gar keine Fragen stellen, da alles vorher schon über die Airbnb App beantwortet wurde (Code für die Schlüsselbox, WLAN, Mülltrennung, Zugang zur Wohnung, ...). Da es nicht mein erster Aufenthalt in Tromsø war, war ich nicht auf Ausflugstipps angewiesen, es liegen aber mehrere Broschüren hierfür im Regal. Mit dem Bus ist man in rund 10 Minuten unten in der Stadt. Die Umgebung (generell Nord-Norwegen) ist wunderschön.

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.

Le chalet est parfait pour y passer quelques jours. La vue depuis la terrasse est magnifique ! Il y a de très belles randonnées à faire à proximité du logement.

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!

Wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Die Aussicht vom Haus auf den Fjord ist traumhaft! Das Haus ist sehr schön und gemütlich. Die Sauna ist ebenfalls sehr schön und bietet ebenfalls einen wunderschönen Blick auf den Fjord. Ich würde sofort wieder buchen!

Le logement de Kjersti est très confortable. Il y a tout ce dont on a besoin pour passer quelques jours ou plus. L'endroit est peut être un peu éloigné des villes mais si on recherche le calme c'est parfait, je recommande !

War nun das 3 mal hier und es war super. Super Gastgeber sehr einfache Kommunikation. Super sauber. Komme gerne wieder.

Excellent séjour chez Jakob. L’appartement est parfait pour un séjour de quelques jours. Confortable, bien chauffé, il est conforme à notre attente. Le vin et le chocolat nous attendaient sur la table à notre arrivée et dans le réfrigérateur quelques produits de base à disposition. Ce fut bien apprécié. Le logement a la taille adéquate pour un couple qui peut profiter du lit dans la chambre. Sinon un canapé peut servir de lit d'appoint dans le séjour pour des enfants par exemple. Nous recommandons ce logement aux futurs voyageurs .

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.

Alt fungerte veldig fint. Flott beliggenhet og flott leilighet.
