Rikke's adventure: A cozy night at a treehouse
My adventure to a cozy, secluded treehouse.
I recently had a date night at the Knausen treehouse in Eidsvoll, Norway. It was a cozy and stylishly designed space, surrounded by aspen trees and equipped with all the essentials. The cabin featured large windows providing panoramic views of the surrounding nature. Our stay was peaceful, highlighted by the comfort of a modern bathroom and a living room with a fireplace. The veranda was perfect for morning coffee, enjoying the calm of the forest just a short walk from the parking area.
Where we stayed
We drove to the Ospero treehouse in Eidsvoll and then walked through a beautiful grass field full of flowers. It took about 10 minutes to walk to the house. The area was very calm and peaceful, which made us feel relaxed right away.
The treehouse was cozy and had big windows that let us see all the trees and nature outside. Inside, it felt warm and welcoming. Our evening was simple, with candles, cooking pasta, and wine. It was a perfect night to reconnect and enjoy the silence.
The next morning, we woke up refreshed and enjoyed the day without phones or computers. It felt like we had all the time in the world to relax and be together. By the end of our stay, I had one of the best sleeps in a long time. Our short stay reminded us to appreciate simple pleasures and nature’s beauty.

My tips for the making the most of your adventure to Knausen treehouse
Nature Walks: Start with a peaceful walk through the fields surrounding the treehouse. The area is full of beautiful flowers and offers a great way to unwind and connect with nature.
Evening Relaxation: Make the most of the treehouse's cozy setting. Lighting candles and enjoying a quiet evening with a home-cooked meal can be very romantic and relaxing. It’s a perfect activity if you’re looking to stay in and enjoy each other's company.
Explore the local nature: If you're up for a little exploring there is lots of cool sights just near the threehouse such as a short hike up to Skreikampen to get some of the best views of Mjøsa, take a swim in Holmtjennet or explore local history in St. Paul's mine.
How to plan for this adventure:
- Pack smart and light: The walk to the treehouse is about 10 minutes through a field, so it's easier if you don't have too much to carry, big plus to have a backpack not suitcase.
- Bring Supplies: Since you'll be a bit isolated, bring enough food and drinks for your stay, especially if you plan to cook or want special items like wine.
- Disconnect: There’s limited technology use in the treehouse, which enhances the peaceful experience. Plan to disconnect from your gadgets and enjoy the surroundings.
