Neset Gard: Magical experiences at a historic Norwegian farmstead

Beautifully situated by the idyllic Totak lake in the diverse region of Telemark, you will find the traditional Norwegian setertun Neset Gard. Rich in cultural heritage and surrounded by stunning nature, visiting this hidden gem is like travelling back in time.

Neset has a fantastic location between Oslo and Bergen in the heart of Norway. The farmstead boasts a fascinating history dating to the Middle Ages. With 16 buildings in total, it features a tennis court, sauna, and concert stage, as well as cosy traditional cabins with modern comforts in a historical setting.

“Guests often say that staying here is like waking up in a magical fairytale, as though they’ve been transported 300 years back in time,” says owner Liv Bente Tvenge. “It’s a true paradise on earth, just as beautiful all year round.”

Neset is an exciting destination for travellers, with scenic nature and outdoor experiences. With 150 kilometres of tracks in winter, it’s the perfect spot for skiers, and there are excellent opportunities for hiking, kayaking, fishing and hunting. The picturesque mountain region of Rauland is a cultural hub with museums where visitors can learn about local heritage and the varied music and craft traditions.

Preserving Neset’s unique culture and atmosphere alongside providing tailored experiences to guests are key areas of focus for Tvenge. Guests can discover the rich food traditions of the region by taking part in classes led by the culinary personality Bodil Nordjore. This is also the site for concerts and cultural events, such as the annual music festival Nesetdagane.
