On our way south we stopped by this place as it its location is incredible and super charming. They hung up some signs clearly stating that it was private property and when we went in we were quite curious and asked about it. It turns out that the big increase in tourism to Norway leads to some campers and enjoyers of the "allemannsretten" try to push the boundairies of this. They have had issues with tresspassing and people using amenities without the property owner's consent. This stretch of Norway is very narrow and it can therefore really disturb the guests. When we inevitably drove back north we decided to stay here a night. The accomodation was charming, upon opening we could hear a stream of water and it was very relaxing. The room was very nice and decorated in a traditional style and the service was great. We felt welcome and that our every need was covered for. In the summer season you should not be spontaneous like we were and really book a room in advance. All in all I would highly recommend this place. Especially if you like the rivers and the local fishing. It is located near a train bridge and due to this stretch of Norway being so narrow, it is hard to avoid the noises of the train. We heard one train pass by right before bedtime and did not wake up to any other trains passing by. It therefore did not affect our stay in any way.
Clean room, very comfortable beds, bathroom floor heating. The breakfast is excellent with every spread you could want. A great place to stop.
While the cabins themselves had the potential to offer a pleasant stay, our experience was overwhelmingly negative due to the rude host. This overshadowed any positives about the place. Furthermore, there were multiple issues with the cabin that we encountered during our stay, which greatly disappointed us. These included a leak in the bathtub, a discrepancy with the breakfast hours (he told us breakfast closes at 10:00, but it actually closed at 9:15), and a lack of essential amenities like soap and paper towels in the living room bathroom. When we attempted to communicate these problems to the host, he simply responded “I don't know and I don't care.” Overall, our visit to this cabin was far from the enjoyable experience we had hoped for, largely due to the demeanor of the host and the numerous issues we encountered during our stay.
