The room, location, and staff were wonderful! However, there is an issue with the information provided on Expedia. Under the "Property amenities" section, in "Food and drink," it incorrectly lists:
- A coffee shop/café
- A restaurant
- Coffee and tea in common areas
In reality, there is no café or restaurant on the premises. The nearest dining options are a 15-minute drive away. I kindly request that Expedia updates this information to accurately reflect the amenities available at the property.

Good experience
Posted 31 Aug 2019 on HotelsWe arrived late in the night and had some difficulties to find the place where we stayed. Keys were put in a box so we easily picked them up with all the explanations. Too bad it was all in Norwegian though but we managed to find our Hytte. That part was a surprised as we initially booked a large appartement. The hytte was tiny but practical.
Kids slept in the attic which stressed them quite a lot actually as the stairs were closed to the beds with no security except closing the floor door. Beds were average.
The area is beautiful and very close to the Olympic jump spot which is a must to visit.

This is a ski lodge and we were there during the summer off season, so the experience could be quite different from normal. At the end the stay was great, and the owner/reception were very friendly. The place is quite charming. However, there is some important information missing from the description; for some people it could make a big difference, so I'll try to add it here:
- Cabin Rental comes with 2 pages of instructions, and you are expected to clean everything after yourself (including vacuuming, kitchen, bathroom etc). You're also expected to bring your own bed linen, or get them separately from reception at an extra charge (although we didn't get charged for 2 sets for some reason, maybe 2 were included in the booking price, it wasn't clear). If you use the sauna or grill (which we didn't) there are even more instructions.
- During the summer off-season, the lobby/reception is closed after 3PM and before 8AM, and the whole campus looks quite deserted. The only help/information is available over the phone (your cellphone, since the cabin has no land-line phone).
- The area is very remote, there is nothing to be found in the walking distance. The town (Lillehammer) is about 15 min drive (small country road with a low speed limit and construction while we were there).
The overall experience was much more like renting a private house for a weekend then like staying at a hotel/motel. It's not bad if that's what you are expecting.

Thank you very much for your comment. We are always trying to improve our service and appreciate some help! I will look into the lack of information about cleaning and bedlinen on the website.

Norwegian mountain get away
Posted 29 Jun 2015 on HotelsClose enough to Lillehammer to see all the sites yet we felt like we were staying away from it all. With hiking and mountain biking trails just outside our cabin doors we were able to go for a hike in the morning and catch the ski jumpers by lunch.
The hotel staff was super friendly and helpful and the simple cabin was warm and perfect for our day in the mountains.
