Lykkeslet gård – A Creative Retreat on a Historic Norwegian Farm

The space

Nestled in the mountains and countryside of the Romsdal region in Western Norway, Lykkeslet gård is an old Norwegian farmhouse dating back to around 1750. With its traditional character, peaceful surroundings and connection to the natural landscape, the farm offers a welcoming place to slow down, find inspiration and immerse yourself in rural Norwegian life. We welcome individual artists, couples and small groups looking for somewhere a little different to live, work, create and explore. Whether you're a writer looking for uninterrupted time, a musician developing a new project, a photographer seeking inspiration or simply someone who wants to experience a quieter way of life, Lykkeslet offers space to make that happen. A place to stay, create and share The farmhouse has three bedrooms and can accommodate guests in a variety of arrangements. Artists can book an individual private bedroom, sharing the kitchen, bathroom, sitting room and other communal spaces with fellow guests. Alternatively, the entire farmhouse can be reserved for individuals, couples or groups of friends who wish to share the experience privately. We believe that shared experiences, as well as time alone, are an important part of creative retreats. Guests are welcome to spend their days independently, work on their own projects or come together around the kitchen table. An immersive farm experience Lykkeslet is more than somewhere to stay. It is an old farmstead that we are gradually bringing back to life, and guests are welcome to become part of that process. Depending on the season and their interests, there are opportunities to get involved in gardening, growing food, chopping firewood, maintaining the grounds and other everyday farm activities. There is no obligation to participate; guests can be as involved or independent as they wish.
