Beautifully situated in Reine, Lofoten, you will find our three charming rorbuer – and the spacious house Valen 50. Classic fishermen’s-cabin design right by the sea, with a breathtaking view towards Reinebringen and the peaks surrounding the Reinefjord.

From your doorstep you’ll see the mountains mirrored in the fjord, fishing boats gliding by, and in winter the northern lights dancing over the peaks. In summer the sun never sets. This is a place to breathe out, fish from the dock and experience nature up close.
Three authentic cabins and one large house – from the romantic couple to the big family or group of friends.
4–6 guests The largest and most authentic
Our largest and most authentic cabin with three separate bedrooms plus an extra bed in the loft. Private bathroom and a cosy kitchen and living room in classic rorbu style. Perfect for the family or several couples.
2–4 guests Mid-sized and cosy
The mid-sized cabin with one bedroom plus a bed in the loft. Combined kitchen and living room, and a private bathroom. Snug and practical for a small family or two couples.
1–2 guests For the romantic getaway
Our compact little cabin for up to two people. A bedroom in the loft above the kitchen/living room, and a private bathroom. A perfect spot for a romantic weekend by the sea.
10–12 guests A large house, perhaps an even better view
Our newest addition – a spacious house just 50 metres from the cabins. Four bedrooms sleeping up to 11 guests, plus a cot. Ideal for large families or groups of friends, with perhaps an even better view than the cabins.
Reine has been a trading post since 1743, with its own fleet of boats, fish-processing facilities and a growing row of rorbuer along the shore. Since the 16th century it has been central to the Lofoten fishery, famous for cod and the stockfish that was exported as far as Southern Europe.
In 1941, much of Reine’s historic architecture was destroyed by German bombing, and many buildings had to be rebuilt. In the late 1970s the weekly magazine Allers named Reine the most beautiful village in Norway – and ever since, the place has drawn visitors from all over the world.
Today Reine is still a genuine fishing village, framed by steep mountains that plunge straight into the sea. It is this combination of dramatic nature, fishing heritage and cabins at the water’s edge that makes the place so special.
Most of it is right outside your door – all year round.
The most famous peak in the area. The steep trail has been made accessible by around 1,800 stone steps built by Nepalese sherpas, rewarding you with perhaps Lofoten’s most iconic view over the Reinefjord and the Lofoten Wall.
Paddle from Reine over to Vindstad, followed by a short walk to the pristine white sands of Bunes Beach – regarded as one of Lofoten’s most remote and beautiful destinations. You can also paddle up close to Sakrisøy, Hamnøy and the Reinefjord.
Cast a line straight from the dock, or join a fishing trip out on the fjord. Reine is steeped in living fishing traditions – experience the culture that has shaped this place for hundreds of years.
From late May to mid-July the sun never sets. Experience the golden light in the middle of the night – perfect for photography, a late mountain hike, or simply the stillness by the water.
In the winter months, Reine is one of the best places to see the northern lights. The dark sky and surrounding mountains create a magical setting for the aurora borealis – often right from your cabin door.
Explore the white-sand beaches of Kvalvika and Bunes, the photogenic houses of Sakrisøy and Hamnøy, and the many little fishing villages along the E10 west towards Å.
The nearest airport is Leknes, served by Widerøe – about a one-hour drive from Reine.
You can also fly to Bodø or Evenes (Harstad/Narvik). From Bodø take the ferry to Moskenes (around 3 hours at sea). From Evenes it’s about a 4.5-hour drive along the scenic E10 through Lofoten.
