    charming farmhouse
    communication challenges
    awkward interactions

    Charming farmhouse atmosphere and breathtaking local scenery.

    Our stay had moments of discomfort due to the shared living arrangements. Communication with the host Sæmi was challenging at times, as we struggled to understand each other. The social dynamics with other guests were awkward. some were rude and dismissive of Sæmi, making conversations feel strained.

    homemade waffles
    warm hospitality
    unique charm
    steep stairway
    navigational signage

    Staying at Guesthouse Gamli Baer was a highlight of my trip. Saemi, our host, greeted us with delicious homemade waffles upon arrival and continued to impress us with hearty meals throughout our stay. The warmth of the farmhouse added to the welcoming atmosphere. The old-world charm of the building, dating back over 100 years, enriched the experience. The shared dining area encouraged great conversations, and the hiking trails nearby offered stunning views and adventures. However, the stairway to the second floor might be challenging for those with mobility issues, as it combines steep steps and unique twists. This distinctive feature, while fascinating, may not be suitable for everyone. I would also suggest clearer signage for the hiking trails from the guesthouse to make navigation easier. Overall, the charm and hospitality made our stay memorable, even if a few details could enhance the experience further.

    Had a fantastic stay at Gamli Baer! Saemi's homemade waffles and communal dining made it such a fun experience. The old farmhouse charm is unique, but the stairs might be tricky for some. Can't wait to come back!

    Strongly recommend for a quick weekend visit

    Charming farmhouse, cozy atmosphere, where we enjoyed hearty homemade soups and breakfast in a shared dining area with other guests, all while being surrounded by stunning hiking trails and having free wi-fi to stay connected during our stay.

    Everything was exceptional.

    10/10

    Ope, this place was just wonderful! Our host made the most amazing homemade soup upon our arrival, and the breakfast spread was just to die for—fresh bread and homemade jam, ya know? The scenery and hiking trails around were just perfect for a nature lover like me. I’d certainly go back anytime!

    play area

    The host was super welcoming, greeting us with tasty waffles and tea after a long day of hiking. The kids loved the cozy atmosphere, especially the hot tub in the evening. Plus, the local hiking tips made our adventure even more special.

    My kids wished for a play area for downtime.

    beautiful scenery
    steep staircase

    The location is beautiful, surrounded by majestic mountains and a quaint church nearby. The hot tub is a perfect spot for relaxation after a day of hiking, with fresh mountain water adding to the experience.

    The staircase to the second floor is quite steep, making it a challenge for some guests.
