Havsdalsgrenda Apartments

From December 15 to 21, I stayed at Havsdalsgrenda with 15 people from Singapore, the Netherlands, and Germany. Given our group size, we booked two adjacent apartments, which was an excellent choice. The setup allowed us to stay close while giving the kids space to relax and connect. Overall, I doubt we could have had a better stay anywhere else. The location was ideal, offering a perfect backdrop to get into the Christmas spirit. The shared facilities and well-organized management provided a level of convenience that a stand-alone cabin couldn’t match, all while maintaining the cosy, authentic mountain vibe. For instance, pre-ordering groceries from the local “Spar” store and having them ready upon arrival was a thoughtful touch. Additionally, Havsdalsgrenda offers excellent alternatives for those who don’t want to ski daily, such as a pool, which adds variety to our stay. A special shoutout to the management team, led by Gro, who went above and beyond to make our experience seamless and enjoyable. If I were to offer some constructive feedback, it would be regarding the facilities for ski gear. A designated space for storing and prepping skis and a proper room to dry ski boots and gloves would have been helpful. Another minor issue was with the main fireplace in the cabin. While it added a fantastic ambience, it seemed a bit old-fashioned. Some heat escaped through the chimney; if ventilation wasn’t managed carefully, smoke could occasionally drift into the living room. Despite these minor points, our stay was fantastic, and I highly recommend Havsdalsgrenda for a memorable mountain getaway.
