It&#8217;s up to you to decide whether you need anything else.\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-drop-cap\">Out in the archipelago of Steigen, polar explorer B\u00f8rge Ousland bought his own island, Mannshausen, where he commissioned some unique cabins, just the way he wanted them. These stylish cabins are inspired by a lifelong interest in architecture and some of Norway&#8217;s other innovative new buildings like Lyngen Lodge and the Juvet Landscape Hotel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Distinctive buildings are set in a magnificent landscape<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>B\u00f8rge Ousland chose Snorre Stinessen because he is a talented architect with a modern touch. His buildings manage to be separate from nature and still harmonise with it, and these unique buildings look as if they are meant to be here. The cabins are made of solid timber, without a hint of plastic. They are clad in untreated, maintenance-free larch, which will slowly age to a silver-grey hue.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignwide is-style-faq\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\"><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\n\t\t\t\tPractical information on Manshausen in Steigen\n\t\t\t<\/h3><div class=\"t2-accordion wp-block-t2-accordion\" data-allow-multiple=\"1\" role=\"list\"><div class=\"t2-accordion-item wp-block-t2-accordion-item\" role=\"listitem\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"t2-accordion-title\">\n\t\t\t\t<button type=\"button\" class=\"t2-accordion-trigger\" id=\"where-is-manshausen-in-steigen?\" aria-controls=\"accordion-panel\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\tWhere is Manshausen in Steigen?\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"t2-accordion-icon is-closed-icon\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" height=\"24\" width=\"24\" class=\"t2-icon t2-icon-chevrondown\" aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\"><path d=\"M12 14.9c-.1 0-.3 0-.4-.1-.1 0-.2-.1-.3-.2L6.7 10c-.2-.1-.3-.4-.3-.6 0-.3.1-.5.3-.7.2-.2.4-.3.7-.3s.5.1.7.3l3.9 3.9 3.9-3.9c.2-.2.4-.3.7-.3.3 0 .5.1.7.3.2.2.3.4.3.7s-.1.5-.3.7l-4.6 4.6c-.1.1-.2.2-.3.2H12z\" fill=\"currentColor\" \/><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"t2-accordion-icon is-open-icon\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" height=\"24\" width=\"24\" class=\"t2-icon t2-icon-chevronup\" aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\"><path d=\"M6.7 14.7c-.2-.2-.3-.4-.3-.7s.1-.5.3-.7l4.6-4.6c.1-.1.2-.2.3-.2.1 0 .2-.1.4-.1.1 0 .3 0 .4.1.1 0 .2.1.3.2l4.6 4.6c.2.2.3.4.3.7s-.1.5-.3.7c-.2.2-.4.3-.7.3s-.5-.1-.7-.3L12 10.8l-3.9 3.9c-.2.2-.4.3-.7.3s-.5-.1-.7-.3z\" fill=\"currentColor\" \/><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"t2-accordion-item__inner-container is-layout-flow\" id=\"accordion-panel\" aria-labelledby=\"where-is-manshausen-in-steigen?\" role=\"region\" hidden>\n\t\t\t\t<p class=\"\">\n\t\t\t\tSteigen is a commune in Salten in the Nordland district.

unobstructed views<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Being in the cabins is like sitting in an HDTV, with floor-to-ceiling windows at the front and sides. From here, the landscape is both beautiful and entertaining. You can lean back and look out over the countless islets and skerries, at the boat traffic, and up over the Steigartindene peaks. In good weather, the jagged mountains of Lofoten are silhouetted in dark blue against the horizon. Who needs TV with views like this?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The experience is modern and stylish <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Traditional rorbu cabins in Northern Norway can be somewhat on the rustic side. B\u00f8rge wanted his cabins to be comfortable, with stylish bathrooms, kitchenettes with fridge, cupboard space and an extra bedroom as well as the main room. The furniture is by designers Fjordfiesta. The reception area and dining room are in the main lodge, an old restored Norland house where you can also pre-book dinner. This lodge also has a relaxation lounge upstairs, with a huge, soft Italian designer sofa, panoramic views from the large windows and shelves full of books on exploration and the polar regions.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-gallery gallery-count-3\">\n\t\t<ul><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/nordlysman4-1024x642.jpg\" data-size=\"1024x642\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">01<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/nordlysman4-1024x642.jpg\" alt=\"Aurora dancing to the north of the cabins \u00a9 Lars Kr.

You can swim in a huge, natural pool on the island or go snorkelling in the turquoise waters; drysuits are available for hire if the water&#8217;s too cold. You can hire aluminium boats for fishing or exploring, or just rent a rowing boat. Alternatively, if you want more of a challenge, you can climb the nearby red granite pre-bolted crag. The vertiginous ridge between Nordskottind and S\u00f8rskottind is not for the faint-hearted, and you can also put on a head torch and walk through the 180-metre-long Reshola cave, which means &#8220;troll\u2019s cave&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Visit in Autumn, winter or spring to de-stress<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The rest of the year is ideal for couples who want to relax in seclusion. Autumn brings glowing colours and some truly spectacular storms to the coastal landscape, and you can marvel at the Northern Lights through the floor-to-ceiling windows from early autumn to late winter. The winter climate in Steigen is far too mild for polar explorers, and snow clouds tend to pass right over. Instead, you can hike up a mountain on snowshoes or go kayaking in calm waters sheltered by islets and skerries.
