Customer Reviews Brumund - The Pine Hut
| 06 Apr 2013 Anne Anmarkrud, Norway | 100% | |
| We stayed at a tree hut. It was a great experience! A very cozy hut, a lot of birds and great silence. I can sincerely recommend it! | ||

| The staff helped us with transport, that was very nice. The hut was well equipped with firewood, candles, squirrels and everything else you would expect to find in a forest hut.
There are cross-country skiing tracks close to the hut which was great because we had skis with us.
It would be good if there was a map of the skiing tracks available in the hut. We didn't know about them before we arrived.
All in all we had an amazing Christmas in deep forest. | ||

| This questionnaire is not able to evaluate this accommodation, because the pine hut is very special and it depends on your expectation how you evaluate the stay. Me I was fully satisfied, but my wife was not satisfied because she had different priorities to an accommodation. | ||
