About the wood-fired hot tub
The home features a traditional wood-fired hot tub. Please note that it takes about 3 hours for the water to reach the right temperature.
Heating the hot tub is part of the authentic Norwegian outdoor experience. Unlike an electric Jacuzzi, a wood-fired hot tub requires some preparation. You fill the hot tub with water, turn on the heater, keep an eye on the temperature, and add extra wood as needed during heating.
Many guests experience this as a cozy and unique activity that fits perfectly with a stay in the Norwegian countryside.
