Self-Catering Accommodations in Øyer

It was a nice appartment with enough space for the 5 of us. Just 20min drive from Lillehammer and 7min drive from multiple supermarkets.

It’s our first time to visit Norway. We are so thankful to find this historic beautiful Norwegian farmhouse to stay for 2 nights. The view of the valley, river and mountains is just stunning. The entire experience is so peaceful. We are just living in our dream or a picture book.

The owner was responsive to messages. We were sent entry information early, when we still had free Wifi at our previous accommodation. This was after I indicated that my husband's Norwegian mobile phone number had a zero balance and was therefore temporarily useless without free Wifi. Though our car GPS couldn't find the address of our accommodation, an employee at a gas station pointed us in the right direction. Once we were actually at the apartment, we had no real trouble getting in. The numbering system is a little confusing, though. The "23" in the address just indicates the building where the apartment is. In fact, "21-23" seems to be only one building, as indicated on a map on a sign near the parking lot. We had been sent the apartment number, and that was easy to see. I liked the fact that we were given two apartment keys, since there were two of us. We were also given a key to the laundry room and a key to the front door (in case the latter was locked). There are clothes drying lines in the laundry/storage room (same floor as the apartment). The apartment was very clean, had good lighting, and was very quiet at night. The shower had steady pressure and temperature, and a good enclosure. The bed was comfortable for one person (but difficult to get in, since it is so high off the floor). Since I am a light sleeper, my husband slept on the couch. We liked having a balcony. We were glad the owner left the directions for the microwave oven in the drawer because otherwise I'm not sure we would have figured it out. (We used a translation app to get the directions in English.) It is possible to walk to the central part of town to where the restaurants are (about a half-hour walk). The apartment is within sight of the ski area. We walked half-way up the ski slope for the view (summer).

Location was 5min walk from the gondola! Nice and neat place. Plenty of room for one person:) I would stay here again. It's also quiet.
