Fin hytte i fantastiske omgivelser, godt utstyrt til formålet. Derimot trekker ute-doet kraftig ned, da dette fremstår som veldig rotete og lite innbydende.

Var en utrolig fantastisk opplevelse!! Våknet av tassende ekornføtter på morningen:) Storkoste oss. Skulle gjerne ha visst mer om hva slags utstyr som var der på forhånd, i forhold til hva vi kunne lagd av mat. Forventet mindre utstyr enn det var, så tok ikke med den middagen vi kunne lagd om vi visste at det var den type utstyr der. Kanskje det kunne stått på nettsiden?? Hytteboka var full, så den må dere bytte ut. Fikk dessverre ikke skrevet i den. Men er veldig fornøyd med både servicen, mailsvar og trehytta. Vi kommer garantert tilbake til våren!!

"Une expérience unique pour entrer en intimité avec les écureuils et de nombreuses espèces d´oiseaux à la cime d´un pin bicentenaire. Merveilleux poste également pour observer les élans à la tombée de jour et goûter au charme d´une veillée autour du feu dans les frondaisons." "Une nuit pas comme les autres dans les calmes bruits de la forêt où seule la présence des animaux nous a accueillis, femelle élan, écureuils rivalisant autour des graines de tournesol de la mangeoire, couple de bouvreuils pivoine, grand pic à tête rouge et une multitude d'autres oiseaux. Superbe poste d'observation depuis nos confortables couchettes."

Opplevelsen av hyttas beliggenhet og dyrene vil vi anbefale alle! Imidlertid var det slett renhold i hytta. Det var åpenbart at tidligere gjester ikke hadde gjort reint etter seg. Skinnfellene i sofaene var veldig bøssete og ekle, med stearing og søl på. Tepper, puter og madrasser veldig støvete og bak en pute fant vi to klesplagg noen hadde glemt. Hylla v/ovnen var støvete og stettglassene antakelig vasket opp i kaldt vann. Det fantes ikke plastkniver. Vi savnet også en stige opp til den bredeste overkøya. Vi har lyst på flere tretopp-overnattinger, kanskje i en av de andre hyttene også - men vil på det aller sterkeste anbefale hyppigere tilsyn med renholdet slik at man ikke trenger å sove i andres bøss.

Loved the stay. Magnificent view from the tree top, and friendly neighbors (birds and squirrels). Already recommended to my family. The payment procedure seems to have a potential for improvement, though. I'd like to pay the complete amount online, instead of the semi-manual phone based procedure.

Flott plassering, god ide, men 1500,- er for dyrt. Hytta har for lite komfort (mangel på vann, toalett og rent sengetøy) til å forsvare en slik pris. Vi trenger ikke mere komfort, men prisen burde vært lavere

This is most definitely a place for people who want a different experience, and don't mind less comfort. The stay was perfect, lying in the bed watching the birds and squirrel eating and enjoying them self very early in the morning. Grilling marshmallows on the terrace at night 8mtrs up in the air. Is there anything better? I think not, and my children (2,4,8) totally agrees.. :)
