We chose Brekkeseter on the basis of the warm reviews it has attracted on Trip Advisor because it's pretty much the only source of information on these small hotels. That's a big mistake on the part of Norwegian tourism because places like this offer some of the best travel experiences you can have. As you would expect in the mountains,... More

Not knowing where we were going to spend the night in Hoveringen we skiied to do the door of Brekkeseter for a single night's stay on our way out of the mountains - and what a find! It was fantastic! The building itself is 'olde worlde' creating a very homely feel and the owners are very friendly and attentive. The... More

We have stayed at Brekkeseter at multiple occasions. The place is just fantastic. Kari and Bjorn as hosts make you feel at home. We prefer renting one of the log cabins for the entire family, but have also stayed as a couple without children in one of the hotel rooms. The atmosphere is fantastic in the log cabins where you...

Wanted mountains, peace and quality - along with something "authentic", as I brought an English friend. Stayed in "Rundtomstua", self catered breakfast&lunch, dinners at hotel. Perfect location, comfortable well equiped cabin, wonderful open fireplace and unlimited firewood included in price. Hosts Bjørn&Kari are welcoming and informal, serve excellent meals and even have an extensive wine list. You will dine with... More

Brekkeseter is truly unique, with its location at the foot of the Rondane National Park, the hospitality of the hosts, but more than anything else - the romance and quality of its village collection of old log chalets - all luxuriously restored with taste and dedication to Norwegian tradition. Although self catering based, do not leave without sampling the exquisite... More

We have visited Brekkeseter both summer and winter and in both seasons it is beautiful and well situated – and if you want to use the restaurant, the food is simply fantastic! In the winter you step into the ski track that runs immediately in front of the "seter" cottages. Brekkeseter is the "seter" which is closest to the beautiful... More

We stayed only one night at Brekkeseter while travelling though Gudbrandsdalen in Norway but it made a great impression. We were lucky with the weather and were able to take advantage of the fantastic mountain trail network right on our doorstep. We rented one of the hotels cabins which were very well equiped. The hotel provided an excellent meal -... More

We spent 3 nights in the Bamsebu cottage that is part of the hotel and cottages complex Brekkeseter. Great and friendly service by the owners Setsaas. Nothing seemed to be an issue. The cottage could sleep 6, had a full equipped kitchen, with induction cooking plate, good oven, fireplace etc. We had a dog with us and that was not... More

A lovely place full of Norwegian folk tale charm, where you can follow the paths of Peer Gynt and Kristin Lavransdatter (on nicely groomed ski trails). Charming old (ours--1792!) but very comfortable cabins, and friendly, helpful hosts--both of whom have lived in the U.S.--both excellent cooks. The food is beautifully presented and prepared local and regional dishes--delicious! Skiing: great! Wood... More
