    It was wonderful! We arrived too early, but the host still invited us inside. He's the sweetest person we could ever imagine, a true definition of someone wearing their heart on their sleeve. It's a pity we were here just for one night!

    The host was very kind and caring. He recommended places to visit in Oslo. Although I had reserved a small apartment, he gave us the large apartment since we were a family of 4. The apartment was very clean and very good. thank you very much. ...

    Well appointed room, floor actually. Very friendly host, takes time for you. He even took me to a friends house who is (starting) to hand build a Viking ship. Today the forge is being build from logs. All hand work. Want to go back in a few years...

The place is suitable for those looking for peaceful and rural surroundings. The property has local historical significance dating back to 1880. We want guests who want to get away from the noise and stress of the city and who are looking for peace, even if you are passing through or choose to stay for several days. Experience rural Norway, as it really is, with good recreational opportunities for those who want to stay for some time. Here is free and safe parking for bikers and a garden that you can use as if it were your own It is a short distance to small towns 20-40 minutes away, where there are also many experiences for both young and old! In the immediate area there are fishing opportunities in summer and winter. There are also options for Drop-In at the Fitness Centre, or play Padel or Squash. Or maybe just go for a walk on paths in the forest and fields, or on the illuminated trail. If you like swimming, a trip to the waterpark 15 minutes away is recommended, if you love winter sports, there are good cross-country skiing trails and an alpine resort 20 minutes away. We will do our best to make you feel at home in a clean and comfortable apartments! We warmly welcome those that want to relax and and who know how to value history, traditions and cultural heritage. But, If you are looking for a urban lifestyle in a city, there are better alternatives!
For guests with a minimum of 3 overnight stays, it is possible to offer canoe and kayak experiences on the river. It is also possible to offer a guided tour to a Viking camp that is under construction, to see the rigging, forge, storehouse and longhouse.
