FOR SPECIAL TIME OUT

IN THE MIDST OF NATURE

A private road, three doors and the mountains all around.

Lovingly restored and set along a private driveway above Otta. Three independent houses with the Lågen river below and the Rondane mountains around, far enough apart for silence, close enough to share a fire. Come as a couple, with friends & family, or bring the dog along. For larger gatherings, retreats, or team stays, all three houses can be booked together.

Each house is fully self-contained, its own kitchen, its own view. You choose when to arrive, when to share a fire with the others and when to disappear behind your own door. No reception, no schedules, no neighbours, no other guests. Only nature, silence, and your own pace.

Your Private Driveway.
