The cabin is great and quiet w/ a great view on the surrounding mountains (hence the “good” overall score). However a few points of disappointment which need to be improved: 1- We met 2 staff members and both barely spoke English, although the check-in instructions (Dan Center) said that staff can speak Norwegian, English and German. The 1st person was friendly though and showed us the cabin. 2- More problematic: there are unclear/hidden fees not documented on Expedia web site nor on the specific check-in instructions we received from Dan Center: linens, towels. For the electricity, the 2nd person we met asked us to pay an amount not at all in line with what is documented on Expedia web site (0.15 Euro/kWh). Also we were very careful to turn off the lights and the heaters at night and during the day when we were not there. When I asked the 2nd person for an explanation for the electricity fee, he was not able to explain it to me in English and I didn’t have time to go through a Google Translate conversation. And he asked us to pay in cash, although the specific check-in instructions said we could pay any incidentals by credit card. So at the very minimum Expedia needs to clearly document these various fees (linens, towels, electricity) for this property to avoid any bad surprise afterwards.

Our stay was AMAZING! The location was the perfect setting on a quiet lake with all the amenities you can ask for. The host was wonderful and very accommodating. We stayed in the 3bedroom cottage with 2 full bathrooms, a wonderful terrace, great kitchen and dining layout for a family of 5. We used their kayaks and rowboat and grill outside. There is a sauna right inside to get warmed up before jumping in the very cold but refreshing lake. Short walk to a waterfall and hiking. Short drive into larger towns for other food options. Wonderful farm store up the road for local food and a great bakery nearby. Absolutely breathtaking views. Incredible stay all around.

Location was stunningly beautiful, property was unique. Experience was wonderful!

Driving into Hjelle through the lakeside tunnel was magical. This repurposed schoolhouse was a fantastic place to experience old-world Norwegian living. Loved the nook beds and touches of history. The modern bath and kitchen were integrated well. The property manager was kind and helpful - he let us know when the early snowfall unexpectedly closed down the mountain pass. Was a great site to just relax and enjoy!
