Family-friendly holiday rentals in Tyrifjorden

We enjoyed our brief stay at Kristian’s apartment. It was a bit tricky to find the apartment and it’s up five sets of stairs (we left luggage in the car!) but we appreciated the thorough instructions Kristian gave us when he greeted us upon arrival (we weren’t used to meeting the host - that’s not really done in the US). Amenities were nice and we’d definitely stay again!

The cabin was in a beautiful location, with incredible views over the water. Everything in the cabin was easy to find and use. I'd definitely recommend hiring a car, so you can explore Holmsbu and nearby towns. When we had to message, both Ingunn and Hilde were very quick to respond. We booked the hot tub for our final night too, which I would definitely recommend. The locals are very friendly and helpful. And it was beautiful to see some snow too

Spent New Year here, fantastic views, very comfortable accomodation, well equipped if you chose to self cater, would recommend.

We had a great time staying at Cristoffer’s lovely flat. Everything was as shown in the pictures, the location was great with really close public transport links and plenty of shops bars and restaurants. Would highly recommend to anyone who wants a comfortable, easy and clean place to stay in Oslo.

It was a wonderful 4 days in a cozy and comfortable house with all amenities. I haven't experienced a more friendly and helpful host before. The house is located in the suburbs of Oslo, next to a bus stop and a shop. All photos and description of the house fully correspond to reality. We felt at home and grateful for Anniken's generous hospitality. She was very prompt in answering any questions we had. We will remember this vacation for a long time and hope to come back again, but already in the summer ;)

Markus is a perfect host, his place is great and the location can't be better. Very highly recommended. Can't wait to be back.

We stayed at the place for 3 days. It worked out great for us. The views from the place were awesome. It was big enough for our group to spread out and kids really enjoyed the foosball table. The hike down to the ocean was nice. Ample parking and quiet neighborhood. Kelly was very responsive, helpful and made our stay very comfortable. Only downside is that the place is an hour away from Oslo. The drive back to the place felt very long after a long day of sightseeing.

Cecilie is an extraordinary host! She was unfailingly generous, responsive, and kind. The apartment is spacious, beautiful, and very well located. We spent a month and could not have been happier. One of our very best experiences with AirBnB.

A very nice house. A great location. Direct access to the sea from the property. The house is fully equipped with appliances, kitchenware, linens, and many other interior items that fill the space and create a cozy atmosphere. Highly recommended for a visit.

Marte's place was beautiful--I personally really loved her decorative taste (and learned that I love Elsa Beskow and Alphonse Mucha). Aside from that, it was very clean and she communicated with us in advance about some construction that was going on at the property, which turned out to be fine for us. The neighborhood was quiet with some great restaurants and very easy access by bus from the city center. There was an outer door to the complex that got stuck at one point and Marte was very helpful and proactive in getting help for my husband to get back in. Overall she seemed laid-back, friendly, and cheerful. I highly recommend staying with this fantastic host. Thank you so much.

Lovely apartment in a great location for walking or grabbing public transportation. Anna Grete and Knut were both communicative and helpful with local suggestions. It’s directly on a park, which resulted in a front seat view of fireworks on New Year’s Eve. We thought it was great but it would have been rough if we’d had a dog or child who was frightened of them.

Had a great time in this cozy cabin!

We had a wonderful weekend stay in this hytte 😍 Very cozy, by the water. Eirin and Rolf were very helpful with advices! Also helped us a lot with the ice and snow to drive out after the weekend ☺️ would definitely stay again another time !

We enjoyed our stay at Kaja's home. She is a wonderful, helpful host, and was right next door during our stay, so if we needed something, she was close by. It was a comfortable place to stay during our Norway vacation. The home is spacious and welcoming.

We loved our stay! It was a great location to experience the tranquil countryside (especially in the snow! 🤩) Our children loved sledging etc and it felt like a home from home as well as being a 45min drive from Oslo. Lots of other places to explore from here too. The house is cosy and had everything we needed. The washing machine was very handy too! Thank you again for being such friendly hosts

Huge nice cabin, peaceful and lovely surroundings. Recommended! 😊

We had such a wonderful stay here. The house is stunning, had everything we could need and the hosts were lovely. They helped with local recommendations as well as making sure we had all the information we needed for the house. Not to mention the gift of some mixture for us to make traditional waffles! The train station is just a few minutes' walk. The kids particularly loved the pool and table tennis table, and I really enjoyed the beautiful walks that are possible from the property. All in all a five star stay.

Fantastic place with lots to do for the kids. Short driving distance to several nice attractions, very peaceful and private pool. We had a great time

We had a very pleasant stay with two adults and two children. Awesome house, clean and welcoming, all amenities. The location was quiet and peaceful and very lovely with a pool in the heat :) Pia responded quickly and was very service minded. We would love to come back :)

We were a group of 7 people. We had the best time in Oslo at the apartment. Very well positioned. Just perfect - and Kevin and Maja, the perfect hosts. Couldn’t have been better. 🤗

Great Apartment in an awesome and stylish neighborhood right by the water, lots of restaurants and close by Munch, national theatre, the train station and the city. Would definitely love to come back soon. Don’t miss the public sauna by the sea - great experience 💯 Contact with Kevin was super fast and easy, very friendly and helpful host. 100 out of 100 💯

We were a large family group gathering for our first time in Oslo. The island location is gorgeous and the house is both beautiful and well suited to a family group. Catherine was proactive in getting our groceries delivered so we were comfortable despite no stores on the island. We also had free use of their boat which allowed us to arrange our schedule as we liked. Pacing with our large family group meant accounting for two shuttle trips to get all of us across to the mainland. The 31 bus line was close and frequent for getting us into Oslo. We bought a week pass but no one ever seemed to check the bus ticket. The house itself was well equipped with everything kitchen, fireplace and gorgeous outdoor space. It was a little cool and rainy for the pool but the hanging outdoor bed was a favorite spot to hang out.

Great host, great stay, exceeded expectations. We were really happy with the place, it had plenty of room and beds for our guests. There is room for 2-3 cars at front, could not hear any road noise so it was peaceful, plenty of bedding and everything felt clean and fresh. Kids loved using the trampoline and playing some of the many games that are around. Kitchen was well stocked with cutlery and everything you need. Iron and ironing board was handy as well as washing machine. Gym was a nice to have with TV whilst you work out. The host was really quick to respond when we had questions and they were very professional. Overall, we loved our stay here!

This home has a perfect location for exploring Oslo. It is well equipped with everything you need for cooking, and has toys for the kids to play with. It has fun decor and style and comfortable beds. Lots of space for our whole family. We didn’t end up using the pool, as it takes some effort to get the cover off and back on. We loved our stay here!
