General Overview

This traditional wooden house used to be part of a small farm run by my grandparents. It was built almost 100 years ago, but has since been modernised and enlarged. The house is now part of a quiet neighborhood in Mo i Rana, a middle-sized town. It has a lovely, large garden and a nice terrace, fenced in by trees and bushes and an old shed (not part of the exchange) which helps maintain a quaint, secluded vibe around the place. I lived in this house from age 0 to 4, and I love the way it has retained a lot of the original atmosphere while the world around it has developed.

The Space

Fairly large house suitable for 1 - 2 families or 2-3 couples. Ground floor has large, fully equipped kitchen, dining room, living room, laundry room and a small lavatory. On the first floor there are 3 bedrooms (one with 180 cm king-size bed, two with 90 cm beds) and an extra loft/living room which has a 140 cm queen-size bed which we use as a lounger/day bed. This room can be used as a bedroom sleeping up to two people, however you will need to pass trough it for access to the two bedrooms with the 90 cm beds. OK for a family with kids, but perhaps not for a couple who wants privacy. There is a large bathroom with shower cabin/washbasin/toilet, heated floor, and storage space.

Guest Access

2 floors, staircase access from ground to 1st floor, not suitable for wheelchair. ON ground floor there is the main entrance door and an additional door for direct access to the garden and terrace.

Notes

Mo i Rana is located in very beautiful nature, with lots of activities you can do including mountain hikes, fishing, diving, visiting caves. In a radius of a 1 - 1,5 hour drive you can visit the spectacular Helgelandskysten (coastline with archipelago of islands), the Saltfjellet mountain plane, the Okstindan mountain ridge with the Rabot tourist cabin, and Umbukta, a mountainous border area wiht Sweden.

Neighbourhood

Quiet residential area in Selfors area in Mo i Rana, with individual houses with gardens so very green. The street is a cul-de-sac, and very safe for children. Nice views of surrounding mountains from the windows.

Getting to my home

Travel to Mo i Rana can be done by car, train (from Bodø or Trondheim), or air (regular flights from Oslo via Bodø or Trondheim). Access to a car during your stay is recommended - there are several car rental agencies in Mo i Rana if you do not bring your own car.

Nearest airport

Røssvoll airport (MQN), 11 km from the house.

Getting Around

Large and very good grocery shop in walking distance from the house (10 mins by foot). Center of Mo i Rana is 4 km from the house, and has a large variety of shops where you will find anything you need. There is also a cinema, several restaurants and cafés, and a very good public swimming facility with kids' pool, water slide and sauna.
