Hammer Gård: A slice of rural paradise

Nestled deep in the picturesque Norwegian countryside lies Hammer Gård, a family-run haven that combines the charm of rural life with the comforts of modern hospitality. With roots stretching back over 300 years, this remarkable destination is as much of a testament to history and tradition as it is the perfect getaway!
If winter in the grey city is starting to feel drab and bitter, why not look to Levanger in Trøndelag, Norway, where the magic of the landscape doesn’t falter with the seasons? Pressed up against a shimmering lake with mountains stretching all around, Hammer Gård is a family farm.
“When my partner, Jon Anders Hammer, took over the farm in 2013, he envisioned a life raising sheep and keeping the family legacy alive,” explains his partner, Siri Mette Woll, a reformed city girl who has since taken to the rural life. Over the years, the family farm expanded, going from raising sheep to offering a range of unique overnight stays in natural surroundings.
The cosy forest cabin, lovingly restored, offers solitude among the trees, and for a taste of farm life, the barn apartment is an inviting option. For those seeking something more adventurous, the newly completed Gapalux, a luxurious and modern take on a traditional Norwegian gapahuk, brings nature inside – and has a steaming wood-fired hot tub ready on arrival!
“Our main priority is creating the best experiences for our guests,” says Woll. “In addition to the endless opportunities for activities in nature such as kayaking, fishing, swimming, hiking, and more, we have a farm shop where you can find local goods, giving you a piece of Hammer Gård and Trøndelag to bring home.”
