Customer Reviews Brumund - The Pine Hut

06 Apr 2013 Anne Anmarkrud, Norway
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.
