Gransjøberget Sæter

Gransjøberget is a summer farm deep in the forests of eastern Norway, perfectly located for hosting meetings, seminars and parties.

Marianne Wimmer, the third generation forest owner, obtained possesion of the property in 1999 and commenced restoring the neglected buildings and the overgrown pastures around the farmstead. After a lot of work the place is now a veritable forest idyll! The restoration was finished in the autumn of 2003 and the farm was officially reopened by the mayor of the municipality in June 2004.

The ambience of the place is so incredibly quiet and peaceful because the old, restored buildings have a soul of their own.
There is no electrig power here in the forest, but gas, burning wood, paraffin and candles create an intimate atmosphere which everyone will appreciate. The comfortable beds will guarantee you a good night’s sleep. The long pine table in front of the open fire is an invitation to enjoyable meals.

There are five buildings: the original farmhouse, a small annexe (ideal for heavy snorers!), a guesthouse, a new outhouse with pit privy and a sauna.

The farm is used during the summer and autumn for all types of arrangements. The season starts in the middle of May, and ends after moosehunting in October.

The main farmhouse

This house is the original log boilerhouse. It has two bedrooms  with bunk beds (so-called ”family beds”), a fully equipped kitchen with gas cooker and refrigerator, and a simple bathroom with a handbasin. In the living room there are sofas, a long dining table and an open fireplace, and in the hallway guests can hang up clothes to dry.

The guesthouse

The guesthouse, a fine old pine log building from a valley further north, was moved here, log by log, and lovingly rebuiled on the farm. It contains four bedrooms with family bunk beds. In addition there is a day room with a kitchen unit and clothes drying facilities, and a simple bathroom with a basin. The heating soursec are gas and wood fired stove.

The hosts

Your hosts will make sure that everything is in top shape for you. They will serve food if desired, and take you out on various activities if you want. They are prepared to answer any questions you might have, and do everything they can to make your stay here thoroughly enjoyable. You will have the whole farmstead on your own – only one group at a time. Alcohol can be served at private parties.
Twinkling stars on the night sky, might be an everlasting memory.
