What makes Tyven unique?

It took two years to build “
”—and it shows. The inspiration came from The Thief hotel on Tjuvholmen in Oslo. That’s also where “ ” gets its name. It spans 80 square meters across two floors, with large windows that frame the natural surroundings. After a day out in nature, you can
sink into the private hot tub and enjoy the tranquility.

National Geographic included Tyven as part of its “Lakes & Mountains” feature on Norway.

★★★★★

“We had a wonderful stay at ‘The Thief.’ Beautiful surroundings, an incredibly nice cabin, and a view that simply has to be experienced. The host was friendly and responded quickly whenever we needed anything. We’d love to come back. Highly recommended” – Nishant (Airbnb guest)

Who is The Thief for?

The Tyven is perfect for those who want something out of the ordinary. With three bedrooms, it’s ideal for a group of friends or a small family who appreciate design and comfort. Two full bathrooms mean no waiting in line in the morning. And the jacuzzi…? That alone is reason enough to book it.

From the hosts

Welcome to Tyven

It took us two years to build “Tyven,” and we wanted it to feel just as thoughtfully designed as “The Thief” on Tjuvholmen—only with Lake Mjøsa and the forest outside the window instead of the city. We hope you’ll feel the tranquility right from your first evening in the hot tub.
