Stayed two night at this marvellous mountain resort, that will say one night at their Arctic Dome close by towards Høvringen. Smuksjøseter is so unique close to the Rondane mountain massive near by. The hotel offers good food, friendly staff and owners, and a silent time in the wilderness on the top of Norway. Ski tracks just outside the door - and nature is just waiting for you! Perhaps Miss Piggy will tell you her favourite ski track?

Perfect place 1130 masl

If you are up to the authentic Norwegian mountain life- here is the place for you. Take your skies and enjoy! Don’t forget a bathing suite for hot tube experience and icebath, if you feel for it! Enjoy every moment :)

Perfect place to experience Norsegian mountainlife!

We visited here on 21 February 2018, not as residents, but to stop for a cup of tea and to eat our packed lunch. Just getting to this place is an experience. Residents can be taken over by snow-cat from Hovringen. We skied over from Hovringen about 8 km away. It was a very cold and windy day and the Fjellstue was the only place to stop where we could get out of the cold and wind, into the warm, to buy a hot drink and eat our packed lunch. Excellent for the purpose, staff wecoming, clean and tidy room where we could sit down, clean toilets. Just what we needed!

Somewhere warm to stop for a snack

This review is by no means a review of the scenery. Rondane is beautiful no matter where you go. But I do think that people need to know that the food served for dinner when we arrived here on our second day hiking in the mountains was a big disappointment. Bland cod and prune compote is absolutely part of the Norwegian cousin. But so is reindeer and cloudberry cream. Just sayin’..

By no means a culinary experience

We had booked a weekend stay for a larger group. The owners clearly did not have an overview of our booking. Many different prices and a lot of mistakes done regarding bed linen, apartments and rooms. The schedule for our weekend main meal was changed to an earlier hour, due to the fact that the owners had double booked for two large parties at the same night. This resulted in a lack of staff for our three course dinner highlight - which was not a highlight at all. The staff was clearly not quialified, they did not know the serving concept and were not co-ordinated at all. Drinks were served 25 minutes after the first course, and all parts of the group had to order seperately. The main course was served before everyone had finished their first course. The dessert was served when half the group was still eating their main meal! The staff was uninformed, inexperienced and not service minded - poking several guests asking if they were finished with their meal. The service personell did not speak the local language at all, a big drawback when several of the guests were elderly and that the hotel and location brags of being a local and tradional destination. In addition, when the owners were contacted in order to better the situation, the owner blamed our group and the organization of the event, even though they were the ones responsible. Truly a fiasco event. The food was nice, especially the main course, but the first course was at a minimum and the whole three course menu was served within an hour. Not acceptable! The two-night stay was not nice - very expensive and not worth the trip unless you truly love the mountains. Hopefully, the owners will step up their game, get a grip of the organization structure and reduce the prices. This was not a success.

Nice location, but terrible service and cleanliness

The property is situated in an amazing setting. Situated at the footsteps of the Rondane mountains, so there are beautiful sites all around! There are many hiking possibilities, lakes, a river 4km away. So plenty to do! 
I rented an appartment (studio) as I wanted to be able to cook (instead of eating in the restaurant). The studio seemed to be refurbished recently. It included a kitchenette with a microwave/grill and small dishwasher. The appartment was good. But, it was not clean! The garbage had been removed. But the coffee machine had clear coffee marks from its last use, the kitchen surface was dirty with bits of food. The dishwasher had dirty dishes (not badly washed, just not washed at all), the toilet and shower had also dirt spots, even found a pot in the kitchen cupbord which still had spots of tomato on it (it looked as if it was quickly rinsed, but not washed at all). By roughly checking the other reviews, I see that most people didn't not have this issue, so maybe I was unlucky. But that made my stay very unconfortable.
