Valen Cabins

Cabins that sit over the water rather than beside it, with a fireplace, a full kitchen and the Reinefjord in front. The studio is one of the cheaper ways for two people to stay at Reine in season.

Groups and families who want a whole cabin on the fjord with room to cook and dry clothes, and couples who can live with a 20 m² studio and a loft bed. Guests rate the cabins 8.6 out of 10 across 182 Booking.com reviews, so read the recent ones about the cabin you choose.

A refundable NOK 3,000 damage deposit is taken by credit card on arrival and comes back within seven days of leaving, after an inspection. Arrivals run from 16:00 to 21:00 only, with check-out by 11:00. The bed in Mini Valen sits up in a low-ceilinged loft, and the owner has said most people have to climb in. Two of the three cabins have a washing machine; the two-bed cabin does not. Neither cots nor extra beds are offered, pets are refused, quiet hours run from 23:00 to 07:00 and children from 18 are charged as adults.

Booking.com lists three cabins: Valbua, a Three-Bedroom House of 65 m²; Aronbua, a Two-Bedroom House of 50 m²; and Mini Valen, a studio of 20 m² with one bed. Across the property the bedroom data shows three rooms with a double bed, one with a double and a single, and two living rooms with a sofa bed each. Every cabin has its own bathroom with a shower, a full kitchen and a fireplace. The owner's site adds a fourth unit, Valen 50, a house with four bedrooms 50 metres away, which is not on this listing.

The bed in the Mini Valen studio sits up in a low-ceilinged loft, which the owner says most guests have to climb into.

Free WiFi, free parking outside the cabins, a washing machine in two of the three, a flat-screen TV, heating, a hairdryer, a wardrobe and a private entrance. Bed linen and towels are supplied, and the owner has confirmed towels on the listing. Each cabin has a balcony or seating outside, with sea and mountain views.

Self-catering. Each kitchen has a dishwasher, oven, stovetop, fridge, kettle, coffee machine, tea and coffee maker and kitchenware, with a dining area and a seating area by the fireplace. No breakfast, restaurant or bar is listed.
