Nest into

Woodnest Originals
Woodnest Originals are where the story of Woodnest first took root. Tucked away in the heart of the forest, these original treehouses offer an intimate connection with nature while providing all the comfort you need.
Woodnest Mountaintops
Perched high above the Norwegian fjords, Woodnest Mountaintops offers a truly elevated experience. Here, the air is crisper, the views are endless, and the silence is profound.
To explore the Woodnests, you must set out on a journey that takes you up a mountainside and into the woods. The climb is a departure from ordinary life, leading you into something untouched and unique.
The hike takes about 20-60 minutes, depending on your fitness level and the weather. The trail is steep and can get slippery when wet, so we recommend wearing hiking shoes and appropriate clothing.
As you begin your ascent, you'll climb a series of stone steps carved into the mountainside. These steps are your gateway to the adventure ahead, where every step brings you closer to the hidden nest awaiting you at the top.
The stairs may be steep, but they’re designed to help guide you upward through the challenging terrain. As you ascend, the air gets fresher, and the sounds of the forest become your constant companion.
You're entering the heart of the woods. Tall pines rise around you, their branches forming a natural canopy. The trail becomes more secluded, drawing you deeper into the peaceful embrace of nature. This is where the real magic begins, as the forest leads you to Woodnest.
At last, you arrive. Step inside and leave the world behind. The quiet of the woods surrounds you, and as you settle into your luxurious retreat, you'll feel the blend of nature and comfort that makes this place so extraordinary.

The hike can be challenging, depending on your fitness levels and weather. There is a combination of steel and wooden steps, stone path and uneven levels. The hike is steep, and we recommend that you carefully consider wether you are capable before booking.
As breathtaking as the view overlooking the fjord is, you will notice a factory set in the fjord with lights and steam. Although it is one of the most climate effective zinc factories in the world, it might disrupt the pure natural beauty for some.
Woodnest has a total of four treehouses; two Originals and two Mountaintops. Each treehouse is perfect for two people. Our “Original” treehouses have a max capacity of four persons, while our “Mountaintop” treehouses have a max capacity of two persons.
The only food service we offer is the Lovenest package - a welcome snack platter - and only if ordered.

Yes! We have a small kitchenette with two induction hot plates, a sink and small fridge. We also provide saucepans and frying pans, cooking utensils and basic cooking essentials like oil, salt and pepper. If cooking is not your thing, we have provided suggestions for local dine-in and takeaway.
The toilet and shower are inside the treehouse (we know, can you believe it?!). Once you have arrived in the nest, you will not have to leave to take care of any of your “business”. Towels and toilet paper are provided for our guests
Children are only allowed in the Original Treehouses. Children must be supervised by their parent/guardians at all times. Before bringing children to Woodnest, you should consider additional factors such as steep hills and uneven grounds, steep stairs and cliff edges. Young children will need to be assisted when walking up to the treehouse. We do not have cots or travel beds, you cannot push a stroller up there. We have high chairs, but please notify us when booking if you need a high chair.
Unfortunately, based on the location of the treehouses, we are unable to provide any alternate options for those who use wheelchairs or other mobility aids.
It is extremely rare to see the aurora borealis from our location. You will normally have to travel to the north of Norway to be able to see them.
