A family business and small scale on every level, a stay at Woodnest is akin to taking a step away from society and the stresses that come with it. Originally started as a demonstration of love as part of an elaborate marriage proposal, today there is a collection of stunning Woodnest treehouses littered throughout this fertile slice of sloping fjord.
Created by the Aano Family – Kjartan, Sally, and Lily, the goal at Woodnest is to evoke a sense of wonder in every guest who stays at the property. From the intricately joined and locally sourced timber that lines the 10-meter-high treehouse’s interiors to the uninterrupted stretch of glass-like water that extends out from the cabin’s feet, there’s no shortage of details to induce reflection and inspiration. The tight-knit team of family members/staff are incredibly attentive, with Sally in particular, relishing in her role as host – going to any lengths to make their stay a comfortable and memorable one. The treehouses at Woodnest lend themselves perfectly to trips marking special occasions or big announcements such as milestone birthdays, proposals, honeymoons, and much more.

Norway stands as one of the most progressive countries in the world when it comes to LGBTQ+ rights, exemplifying Scandinavia’s modern and inclusive approach to sexuality and gender. In 1981, Norway became one of the first countries globally to enact an anti-discrimination law specifically aimed at protecting LGBTQ+ individuals. This groundbreaking legislation laid the foundation for a society that values equality, and it was followed by the legalization of same-sex sexual activity in 1972, long before many other countries in Europe.
Further advancements in LGBTQ+ rights came in 2009 when Norway legalized same-sex marriage, providing full legal recognition and the right to adopt children for same-sex couples. Additionally, Norway offers one of the most inclusive gender recognition laws, allowing individuals to change their legal gender without requiring surgery, which was introduced in 2016.
Cultural acceptance of LGBTQ+ individuals is widespread in Norway, and the country has a vibrant LGBTQ+ community. Pride events, including the Oslo Pride Parade, are celebrated with enthusiasm, drawing large crowds each year. Public life in cities like Oslo, Bergen, and Stavanger is welcoming, with many queer-friendly bars, clubs, and cultural spaces fostering an inclusive environment.
For LGBTQ+ travelers, Norway is a safe and affirming destination, with its robust legal protections, progressive policies, and open-minded society ensuring that all individuals, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity, can enjoy their time freely. Norway’s combination of natural beauty, cultural richness, and commitment to equality makes it an ideal place for LGBTQ+ tourism.

The Treehouse
