Last verified 16 September 2026

Holiday home in Skullbru, near Leknes

Himmelsteinveien lies at Skullbru outside Leknes, about a kilometre from Kartverket's registered point for the hamlet and 1.7 km from the town in a straight line. Leknes Airport, by Booking.com's measure, is 1 km from the door — the only distance the listing states.

The house is detached, 100 m² and four tiles, with three bedrooms: a single bed in one and two singles in each of the other two. Five beds, five guests, and Booking.com's maximums agree. One bathroom serves them all.

A fireplace and a sofa fill the living room, a terrace looks at the mountains and a garden surrounds the house. The kitchen holds a dishwasher, an oven, a hob, a fridge and a kettle, with a washing machine nearby, and the rooms have air conditioning as well as heating. Pets are accepted here.

Why stay here

A whole house for five within two kilometres of Leknes and one of the airport, with a fireplace, a garden and dogs allowed — a rare combination this close to town.

Who it’s for

A family or a group of five who want to be near Leknes without being in it, and anyone travelling with a dog. All five beds are singles, so it works better for friends and children than for couples. One bathroom for three bedrooms is the limit to weigh.
