welcome to byrkjedalstunet – a dream that came true
Byrkjedalstunet is more than a destination – it’s the life’s work of Randi and Daniel Øvstebø, built with passion, imagination, and an unwavering commitment to preserving Norwegian culture and traditions. Nestled in stunning natural surroundings, this magical place offers a perfect escape where every detail has been thoughtfully crafted to enchant and inspire.
One American guest said it best: “This place is just like a miniature Norway.”
Authentic Heritage in Every Corner
Byrkjedalstunet is a living tribute to Norwegian history. Every building on the property is either an original structure or a meticulously recreated masterpiece, built with historical accuracy. Even our restaurant has a story to tell—it was once a local dairy, and its character and charm remain alive today.
Flavors Born From the Land
At Byrkjedalstunet, we believe that food should tell a story too. From farm to table, every dish is crafted from scratch using the freshest ingredients, often sourced from our own farm or neighboring producers. As we like to say: “You can trust our food – we were there when the beef was born.”
Charming Accommodations
Imagine waking up to playful goats on the hillside, birds singing, and the soothing murmur of a brook. Our cozy rooms are housed in small, unique buildings, each with grassy roofs and distinctive charm. With comfortable beds and duvets filled with genuine goose down, you’re guaranteed a restful night.
Byrkjedalstunet welcomes families, friends, business travelers, and couples seeking a romantic retreat. Whether it’s a wedding, celebration, or corporate gathering, we’ll ensure your stay is unforgettable.
A Shopper’s Paradise
Discover one of the region’s largest interior shops, filled with treasures! From handcrafted wood, wool, and leather goods to local preserves, honey, and spices, there’s something for everyone. Our candles, made in-house, are a beloved highlight. And don’t miss the Christmas attic, open all year round with a dazzling collection of ornaments, snow globes, and “nisser.”
