Handcrafted timber lodge
Woodsmoke, sheepskins, and deep armchairs warm the timber lounges, where open hearths face out to tranquil fjord and mountain panoramas.
Where it shines
Remarkable
Cross-logged timber architecture with turf roofs and floor-to-ceiling Sunnmøre Alps views.
Remarkable
Sunnmøre cheese tastings, house-brewed ale, and open-fire dinners in a forest lavvo.
What they say
Two Michelin Keys
Michelin
constructed in the traditional lafta style, with whole timbers, and the interiors are ruggedly elegant, furnished with antiques and classic Norwegian furnishings.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Forest trails lead down to Glomset Bay, where kayaks, fishing boats, and private cruisers launch into the surrounding fjords.
The rooms
Timber-walled rooms feature heated floors and private balconies framing the forest or fjord, with log burners warming select suites.
The outdoor hot tubs
Outdoor hot tubs sit on a slate terrace, surrounded by pine trees with views toward the fjord.
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant
The Boathouse
Down at Glomset Bay, guests gather at a communal table for seasonal dinners cooked over open fire.
At the table
Under antler chandeliers and timber beams, the main dining room serves seasonal Sunnmøre produce beside stone fireplaces.
How it began
Built in 2006, the lodge was handcrafted using historic Norwegian lafta cross-logging, insulated with sheep wool and capped in traditional turf.
