At some point in the future I hope to travel a little around Norway. I have a dream of staying in a rorbu (fisherman's shack) up in Lofoten in the north - eating fish each day, smelling the salty water, hear the wind, watch the daily life, go for walks , take photographs and relax.
This may be in a few years time - I don't know.
But also other places in Norway give you the opportunity to sleep and live outside hotels and have special experiences, for a fair price.
A book just published in Norway, in Norwegian, by Hege Larsen and Lene Agnete Imbsen, seems to be just the book I should buy.
The new book "Ly for natten" by Kagge Forlag gives you 30 unusual suggestions, costing 100 US dollars or less for two persons a night.
Here are some of them that sounded special. Not all websites seems to have English versions.
In Telemark on a farm http://www.kvaale.net/visside.php?id=12
In Numedal you can sleep in a railway waggon and go for a trip on the railway

On the Finnmarksvidda, up in the very north of Norway, you can try the life of the Samer (ethnic group of the north)

Even in Oslo you can stay at what used to be a ferry and is now a theatre boat MS Innvik, close to the new opera
