About this cottage rental
In the middle of a magnificent landscape, located on “The Queens Route” from Ålesund to Geiranger, you will find Urke, a perfect place for an extraordinary and peaceful holiday. This region has, for more than a century, been an inspiration for tourists and artists. The site is stunningly beautiful with the majestic mountains circling the fjord, constantly changing in character with changes in light and weather. From the cottage there is a panoramic view to the fjord and the mountains.
The cottage, which is designed by an architect, is superbly adapted to the steep terrain. Running along the front of the cottage, there is a large terrace facing south.

This is a truly special place. We stayed for a week and didn’t want to leave. The pictures doesn’t do the views justice. This is by far our favourite place we ever stayed at. And the owner Torunn was lovely and answered our questions in a fast manner. Also really appreciate to be able to bring pets along. Can’t say anything else but thank you.

The house is spacious and very comfortable with three bedrooms. It is located up the hill just below the forest and fully equipped. It provides opportunity to sit outside, under the roof, and grill or enjoy the fresh air. There is a beautiful view from the kitchen and living room. Good location for fishing and holiday stay. We have stayed over there for almost two weeks and really enjoyed despite sometimes having bad weather. The owner is helpful and supportive. It is also easy to use the ferry to Saebo or next big town Orsta.

We stayed the week in Urke for hiking and kayaking, we LOVED the cottage, it was beautifully designed, spacious living spaces and the full length balcony was perfect for soaking in the most incredible view of the fjord.
