Rondane River Lodge - Rondane Gjestegård

Stor-Elvdal

Rondane River Lodge was recommended to us by friends as we were looking for a place to stay near Rondane National Park. We stayed in one of the cabins for a week and enjoyed our time there very much. Even though the cabins are perfectly equipped to cook your own meals, we had dinner at their restaurant three times and each time we absolutely loved the food. The owners are super friendly and helpful with any questions you have. The atmosphere is very relaxed. A place you are looking forward to get back to after a day of hiking in the beautiful area surrounding the lodge. The cabins are very cozy and you find everything you need. We would definitely book again.

Perfect location near Rondane National Park

A romantic authentic stay with all the desired facilities in the cabin. The restaurant is an absolute recommender, we ate there for two days and it was two days of absolute delicious food. The hosts are very enthusiastic and genuine people who help you with all your needs during your stay

An absolute recommender if you’re looking for a place to stay near Rondane

Our vacation (me and my 3-year-old child) at the Rondane River Lodge was just a dream. The two host families and their team gave us an unforgettable experience from the first minute. It started at dinner, when a ready-made table covered with pens and paper was waiting for my son. Maybe a small thing, but such small gestures have shaped the entire stay.

This is an absolute recommendation.

This was my second stay at the River Lodge and I am just as pleased with my stay as I was last time. 

I arrived several hours earlier than I first anticipated, but this was no problem, as my room was already cleaned and ready for me. After relaxing and taking a shower in the lovely old-fashioned room with a river view, I went down to eat dinner at 7pm. Since there was only me there for dinner I got to sit in the living room where there was a warm burning fireplace and soft music to accompany me. The dinner was delicious and they had taken great care to make it gluten- and lactose free, just as I had requested. Following the dinner I went back to my room, where the soft bed and complete silence made me fall asleep easily, not waking up until it was time for breakfast. 

In the morning I was positively surprised by the extra effort they had put into delicately arranging my breakfast, from the variety of cheeses and meat, to the cute small coffee pot and glass bottle for my apple juice. They topped it with a smiley face written with a marker on a warm hard-boiled egg. Upon leaving, one of the owners´sweet children took her attention away from her drawing activity to wave me good-bye! 

The Rondane River Lodge was the perfect sleep-over stop for me on my trip from Trondheim to Oslo. I already look forward to next time!

The perfect place to relax and rejuvenate!

Amazing place to stay.
The cabin was really cosy and authentic to stay in. The hosts were só friendly and they created an atmosphere where you feel you're their only customer, such sweet hosts. Brilliant food as well.

The scenery around the river lodge are just beautiful and if you don't know what to do, the hosts alway find an activity to your wants and needs. 

Would recommend!

Awesome place to stay

The rondane river lodge organised a white water rescue course and a packraft guides course last week. The course was really well organised by Bart and Benjamin and we were able to stay in either their cozy cabins or hotel rooms. The lodge is located in a beautiful area, the staff is wonderful and the food is absolutely amazing! I am quite difficult to cater for as I eat gluten-free and vegan, and Karen and Ellen surprised me every single time with amazing dinners, deserts etc. I am very much looking forward to going back!!!

An amazing Norwegian experience

Just spent 9 nights at the lodge and got to stay both in a hotel room and a cabin and it was amazing. It’s a family ran business and the staff is very helpful and makes you feel at home as soon as you arrive. 
Beautiful area with plenty of nature to explore and rivers to paddle.
The lodge offers activities and I strongly recommend to try packrafting, it’s an amazing way to discover the pristine nature of Rondane.

A home far away

We had a wonderful stay. The hosts were extremely friendly and helpful. The food fabulous. The cabins very cozy. Good possibilities for Cross country skiing.  Rondane and the mountains were gorgeous. We definitely want to revisit and definitely recommend.

Christmas in Rondane

I have stayed twice at Rondane River Lodge during summer time and enjoyed it immensely. To begin with, it's a very picturesque compound with the main building and surrounding log cabins, by a river nestled between hills that rise up to rolling mountains. It is suitable for all kinds of travelers, be it alone to explore hiking and fishing in the area, or for couples who enjoy the outdoors, and also with children of all ages. Benjamin, Karen and crew do an amazing job in making you feel comfortable and at ease. With Karen's Belgian culinary skills you can be sure to enjoy tasty and varied meals, which she easily adapts to vegetarians too. Do I need to mention they have great Belgian waffles? Benjamin has vast experience in travelling and organizing group travels in Norway and knows also Rondane like his back pocket. I have taken his advice on hikes, sights, destinations and such and been rewarded with great experiences each time. He knows all the hiking trails from his own experience and will recommend the right level and the peaks with the best views (which are so breathtaking there is even a famous painting of it in the National Gallery in Oslo). This lovely place puts hospitality first, they love what they do and are very knowledgeable about the area, and you can be sure to have an enjoyable holiday stay.

A little gem in breathtaking Rondane

I stayed in one of the larger cabins. It was very comfortable and cool, which was great as it was very hot during the first few days of our stay. The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was fully equipped. It didn't have an oven, but it had a stove with two cooking rings and a fridge. There was wifi, but the signal wasn't terribly strong. We didn't think this was a big problem.

The hosts are fantastic, and took excellent care of us, even when I had an unexpected problem. They know the area really well, and had lots of recommendations for places to visit.

I'm saving the best for last - the food. They serve waffles every afternoon in the summer - not just Norwegian waffles, but Brussels and Liege waffles. What a treat! They also serve a three-course meal for dinner, and it is excellent value. Especially considering the quality of the food. They focus on locally sourced ingredients, but prepare them their own way, with excellent results. They offer breakfast, but we didn't try it. I'm sure it was good.

I really hope I get the chance to return. I heartily recommend a stay here, or booking in for dinner. I would be surprised if you could get a better meal elsewhere in the area.
