Bolkesjø Gaard

We offer different types of accommodation, all close to nature and unique in their own way. At Stabburet you have the opportunity to wake up in a four-poster bed and take part in life on the farm. At Seteren, or Stulen as it is called locally, you are in the middle of the forest far from people and light pollution. At Jonrud homestead by the idyllic swimming and fishing lake Follsjø, you can either bring your extended family or a group of friends. In the summer we also offer exclusive glamping on the waterfront at Follsjø.

There are long traditions of tourism on Bolkesjø, there has been a coach station here since 1624. During the National Romantic era, Bolkesjø was referred to as the “Tourist Gateway to the Wonderland” – when people wanted to explore the wild nature and culture of Telemark. The immediate environment around the farm is still reminiscent of old times, here there are old timber buildings and beautiful storehouses.

Here you can let the children explore nature. In the summer there are sheep grazing and beautiful flower meadows. The forest is full of berries and mushrooms, and you shouldn't forget that we share the secrets of where it is best to pick. The place is also a good starting point for couples or friends who want quality time together.

All sites are equipped with outdoor furniture and barbecue facilities.

We want to give guests the opportunity to take a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, and appreciate simple pleasures close to nature. Here there is charm and tranquility, and time to take in impressions from past times.
