After 2 1/2 years of building the 3 story addition to my 4 story Norwegian Stav(Pole) Hus(house), the 3rd floor Great Green Viking Vortex Room is Complete.. Gary Johansen, Architect and Past President of our Bend Sons of Norway, Lodge Fjeldheim 47, drew up the plans. The construction of the new edition started in the fall of 2006. This new edition is multipurpose. It can be a master bedroom, an efficiency apartment or bed and breakfast facility. The original construction of the Stav Hus (pole house) began in 1976.

The Great Green Viking Room located about 4 mi NE of Bend. It feature over a 6 unique pieces of rosemald Norwegian furniture by the late Wayne and Gretchen Leiberg. Also on display around the Stav Hus are 3 stabburs, one with the ceiling rosemald by world famous Rosmaler and impressionistic artist Sigmund Aarseth of Norway. Many Norwegian paintings including some by Sigmund Arrseth are also around the Stav Hus and in Great Green Viking Room . Life size Troll Carvings by Steinar Karlsen are on display around the Viking buildings.

Here are some of the reasons I call it the Great Green Vortex Viking room; It has solar hot water, the lower levels have solar radiant floor heating, it has a 5ft dia vortex skylight above the bed that sucks in extra solar energy in the winter and gives a great view of the stars at night, it has biomass wood pellet central heating, It has non toxic natural wool insulation from New Zealand in the ceiling and walls, an electric mini van rests in the first floor garage, and Getchen Leiberg uses many shades green in her rosemalling. The Great Green Vortex Viking room is now open for visitors. Inquire by phone or email for weekend, weekly or monthly rates. It has it's own kitchen or we can do a Bed and Breakfast.
