A history to cherish

a Cultural-historical stay

The farm Røisheim has roots back to the Viking Age and is mentioned in historical documents from the 1700s. The oldest of the current buildings dates back to the 1800s and are in the loft style - typical of old mountain farmsteads. The buildings and courtyard were listed in 1923 and provide a truly unique tranquility and atmosphere.

historic rooms and suites

At Røisheim, none of the rooms are alike and have retained the old names that testify to their former use. Here, historical ambience meets modern five star comfort — in unique small houses, characteristic cottages, charming rooms and beautiful suites. Several suites are located in their own houses and have both a fireplace and a hot tub. A stay at Røisheim is one you will never forget.

The Queen Suite

The Queen Suite takes its name from H.M. Queen Sonja who has visited Røisheim several times. The suite is Røisheim's largest and is located in the old Skolestugu. The suite contains a queen size bed, a seating area, fireplaces both in the living room and bathroom, as well as a shower and a bathtub. The rooms have recently been renovated in collaboration with the Norwegian Conservatory Riksantikvaren.

stALLEN

When Røisheim was a coaching inn, the two-story stables served as a resting place for horses carrying travelers between the east and west. Today, the stables have been converted into spacious family rooms, complete with a hot tub and four-poster bed.

Klesloftet

Klesloftet is one of our oldest and most charming houses, spanning two floors. Originally, it served as a storage area where clothes were dried and bed sheets and linens were kept. This building also houses the food bell, which is rung to signal dinner.

"If you want to feel and live history, this is the place. With recordings back to the 14th century it is really something special. We booked Stallen2 and it was absolutely lovely. It has all been preserved and kept beautifully and with all the comfort you need. Breakfast and dinner served as it should with local and fresh produce. The staff is friendly and service minded."

"This place was so stinking cute! We stopped by for a single evening on our cross country drive, but if we knew how special it would be, then we would have stayed multiple days.The manager of the hotel is SO NICE, and the rooms are so unique and fun. We stayed in one of the old stables, and were so impressed by its setup. We want to come back next time we are in Norway!"

We got a very good impression of the place. It seems that both the owners and the staff put a lot of effort into making guests feel welcome—and at a place like this, it was easy to feel at home.
