When the homestead is not rented out as an independent homestead experience, three guest rooms and a cabin are offered for hosted, co-creating visits.
"Hosted" means that your're guided through a co-living and co-creating experience of everyday household with me and any other residents. Life in this spot is slow, simple, silent and sensory.
"Co-creating" means sharing certain facilities, as well as sharing household duties, such as taking turns in cooking and cleaning, cutting firewood, snowshoveling and keeping the stove going in winter. In summer, most activity move outdoors under the midnight sunlight. Whatever the space and communal atmosphere invites in terms of creative output, is welcomed. We cherish individual expressions in the form of art, music, gardening, photography and the immersion in active or more contemplative nature experiences.
While sharing space in a communal spirit, there is always the option and space to withdraw to more privacy in a rented chamber. In total, the property allows for a maximum of 10 inhabitants.
In addition, the property is the home of house pets (currently a polar dog and a house cat) and wildlife.
PRIVATE CHAMBERS
Below, you can check out the separate, private accommodation offers in the residential house.
Sensory Academy encourages travellers to lean into this place for a while. We reward slowtravellers, wanderers and overlanders by gradually reducing the room rate, if you settle for a moment and smell the roses before heading home or onwards.
Nights 1-3: standard room rate NOK950/night
Nights 4-7 (at 25% off standard room rate): NOK710/night
Nights 8-14 (at 50% off standard room rate): NOK475/night
Nights 15-29 (at 75% off standard room rate): NOK237/night
Example:
a total stay of 29 nights will be calculated in the following way:
(3x950)+(4x710)+(7x475)+(14x237)= 2850+2840+3325+3318 = NOK12.333,00,-
...which gives you an average room rate of NOK425/night (average 55% off of standard room rate).
SUMMER CABIN
A simple, unpretentious two-room cabin is also available, for guests wanting a bit more space and privacy over the course of at least five nights successively. This is the spot if you are allergic to pet allergenes. Still shared facilities in the residential house.
The Wilderness Cabin

for 1-3 (private cabin, shared facilities)
NOK7500/5 nights (minimum 5 nights)
THE SHARED FACILITIES
The Kitchen
The kitchen of the main house is the heart of this place. Still to this day authentic 1950'ies style. Equipped solely with a firewoodstove and simple electrical appliances, cooking in this kitchen is a bit like travelling back in time. Which is the point of it, as it makes for intimate social presence, sensory awareness and a very cozy ambience.
The Bathroom
The shared bathroom is a 1980'es constructional addition to the original, classic post WW2 restoration house. Easily accessible just at the foot of the staircase to the guestroom loft, and a bit secluded from the shared livingroom. It holds no luxurious ammenities, but is simple with a toilet, a spacious shower cabinet and a sink. It also contains a washing machine.
The Livingroom
The shared livingroom is the local "library" for relaxation and contemplation, where walls are plastered in simple, old wood bookcases. Located between the kitchen and the private host accomodation, the livingroom is equipped with a total of five seating spaces with each their own lighting source. For musical souls, the livingroom also contains a couple of guitars and a violin. For painters, easels are available.
