Charming Lakeside House with sauna

The location is excellent, very close to the lake with a small beach in front of it and just a 30 min walk from the railway station via the footbridge over the lake (a very scenic walk) and the city center. The very well equipped kitchen, the dish washer and the huge variety of toys for our young grandchild were what we liked most.

The noise from the nearby express road was unexpected

Sehr nettes Häuschen mit speziellem Flair direkt am See (sind zu Fuß mit Badehode und Handtuch ins kalte Nass); ca 30-45 Gehminuten ins Zentrum von Lillehammer und Maihaugen; ca 30-45min mit dem Auto in die Berge zum Wandern

Leider nur 1 Pfanne da und der Herd ist oft ausgegangen und man musste neu starten

Location was great , very cosy with everything we needed. Host was a great help pre our stay and during which was very useful and appreciated. Our family had a lovely start to Christmas and our children (although young adults) were able to enjoy huge amounts of snow for the first time ever !

The only downside was the steep staircase , just need to be mindful and take a little extra care. I’d happily stay here again.

We had such an amazing family holiday! House was absolutely brilliant. Super clean and had everything you could need. Location couldnt be better with just steps away from the lake and supermarket. Beautiful walk to Lillehammer. Couldnt have wished to have a better place to spend Christmas with my family. Also, special mention to hosts who were always available to answer questions and sent lots of useful information before check in.

Nothing at all.

Very cosy, comfortable and peaceful. Everything we needed including children’s toys

We enjoyed it all

We really enjoyed our time here! The house is situated in a quiet area, overlooking the lake - nevertheless there is a bus station and a supermarket in only 3 minutes walking distance. The house has a lot of history, we would have loved to read the history also in English, but we understood some aspects from the pictures and with Google Translate. The kitchen is so well equipped! We cooked every meal of our 10 day stay in this kitchen. Hege put on the warm blankets for us, which was very kind. We had a great time in Vingnes!

This might sound funny ;) As people "from the city" it was our first time to light a chimney with wood. When we arrived it took us some time with YouTube videos to get the chimney properly working. Later we found the official manual of the chimney in a drawer. It would be helpful for people like us to have something like a 1pager with best practices on how to use the chimney (in addition to all the detailed and helpful information in the folder).
