We are a Frysian-Dutch family living in a beautiful spot near Lillehammer, Norway. We rent out our apartment so you can enjoy it on your vacation.

The apartment has two bedrooms. One has a double bed, the other a bunkbed providing sleeping accomodation for up to four persons all together. The living area has an open kitchen with all amenities needed for cooking (fridge, oven, microwave, stove). There is a separate bathroom with shower and toilet. The apartment is in good condition, clean and tastefully decorated. Total floor space is about 60 m2. Your accomodation is located on the second floor and requires walking up a flight of stairs (not recommended for people who are not sure-footed). Everything is located on one level over a large garage and the apartment has a separate entrance. It stands at the end of a private road in a quiet wooded area on a mountain about 350 meters over sea level offering beautiful views of lake Mjosa and the gorge which runs down to it. A walking path into the gorge can be easily accessed directly from the property and connects to many kilometres of trails for walking or mountain biking. In winter a car with 4WD or AWD is required to travers the private road.
