I own an 'arctic hideaway' Airbnb in Norway, where guests can pay $150 per night to sleep under the Northern Lights
owner in Gildeskål, Nordland, Norway. It has been edited for length and clarity.
Years ago, I had the idea to create a rentable, collaborative space for artists. I never intended to put it on Airbnb, but here we are. My Airbnb is in Norway, and it's a tiny village built out of tiny houses that can house a group while immersing them in nature. As a musician and composer, I found early in my life that I could benefit from multi-disciplinary meetings.I saw how my work could gain speed and become more interesting by hanging out with engineers and architects — all kinds of people, really. This village was intended to facilitate those kinds of meetings.
If guests want designs on their decaf lattes, they should stay at home. This is black coffee, rock 'n' roll.The prices are fair for the experience, but I do have a minimum stay of three nights. That's in order for it to be more sustainable for people to come here. I also control the number of bookings available on Airbnb, so if a large cohort needs to come, I have the availability.I've found Airbnb brings American culture, which I'm not familiar with as a Northern European guy. More and more Americans are coming back, but it's still mostly Europeans.I'm here between May and September, and everyone who works as a caretaker or host at the village needs to develop their role here. I'm also building my skills as a host, leader, and person.
