Cabin in Unstad, near Leknes

Unstad is a small settlement in a bowl of mountains on the north coast of Vestvågøy, reached by a tunnel off the main road. The cabin stands on Unstadsjøveien with the sea in front of it and mountains behind.

It is compact — 38 m², one bedroom with a double bed, a sofa bed in the living room, a bathroom whose shower is walk-in — but the fittings are not. There is a sauna, a kitchen with a dishwasher, oven, stovetop, coffee machine and kettle, a terrace with outdoor furniture, an outdoor fireplace, a barbecue and ski storage. Slippers, towels and linen are laid out, and Booking.com shows the property with four stars.

Payment is by bank transfer before arrival, and the owners ask for your arrival time in advance. Guests must be 18 or over to check in.

Why stay here

A sauna and an outdoor fireplace at a cabin of its own on the Unstad shore, with a full kitchen, a paid airport shuttle if you have no car, and a 9.9 score from 119 stays.

Who it’s for

A couple, or one person working from the cabin — the hosts confirm the WiFi is strong enough for that. The single bedroom and sofa bed take four at most, which Booking.com gives as the cabin's maximum.
