Summary: An indescribably beautiful place with an enchanting view of the fjord and the majestic mountains. We had an unforgettable stay in the wonderful cottage and explored the local area and other places such as Loen and Gejranger. Highly recommended.

Summary: What a wonderful place to spend 7 days & nights. Done a fair bit of driving through the Fjords over a couple of trips and the road up to Urke and our final destination takes some beating. Amazing place. An added bonus was getting out onto the Fjord on the boat that comes with wth cottage. Thank you Thorunn for all your help and advice which all added to making it an unforgettable few days.

Summary: We had a most wonderful stay! It felt like home away from home. The cottage had everything we could possibly need and was spotlessly clean. We loved boating and fishing on the fjord. Our favorite fjord on our trip and we saw many! Such a magical place to visit! The owners are great! They are friendly and helpful. We would love to come back and stay again!!!

Summary: Such a wonderful stay, this house is really something very special. Great architectural design, great art within the house. Everything on the kitchen you could need. Plenty of towels, bedding, cleaning bits. Not forgetting the outstanding view, I sat in amazement everyday, watching the ever changing light and reflections on water. We have great fun on the boat, visited lots of places nearby. I hope we will be able to come again on our next visit to Norway.

Summary: Thrallheimen is truly a wonderful place: Unforgettable views, all along with complete peace and quiet. This is the ideal place to get away from it all. I had splendid weather (no rain in two weeks!), and spent most of the day outdoors, but even with bad weather the place seems perfectly equipped: With an outdoor heater and a roof-sheltered outdoor sitting area, the terrace can be even enjoyed in bad weather. Communication was very friendly and helpful right from the start, and Torunn really goes the extra mile to help with advices and updates about traveling, and tips about the area. I would definitely like to come back again! Highly recommended!!

Summary: We spent two weeks in this fabulous cottage in July. The photos on the website are accurate in terms of the cottage itself, but can't do justice to the outstanding view. The cottage was very clean, bright and comfortable, with everything we needed, including a good sized fridge and freezer. We cooked in the cottage every day and found the facilities for this to be excellent. The bed was very comfortable and there were plenty of spare sheets and towels. We took the boat out a couple of times to fish, but found that we had just as much luck fishing off the pier near the coffee shop and bar - we caught and ate a lot of fish in Urke. We mainly went to Urke to hike in the mountains and we were not disappointed. We hiked many of the trails, including Slogan, Saksa, Leknesnakken, patchellhytta, klokksegga and a few further afield. We found most of the trails in this area to be well marked, if a bit muddy and rocky in places, but enjoyed the hiking very much. The supermarket in the town is small, but adequate for most needs, but didn't have anything gluten free, if like me you need to eat that way - we had stocked up before we got to Urke, so it didn't matter. There is also a small shop selling locally grown tomatoes, cucumbers and if you are lucky, strawberries, although we were never there at the right time. Communication with Torunn was excellent from start to finish. I highly recommend this property.

Summary: The advertisement really can't describe this wonderful house and the beautiful surrounding landscape! We spent 3 weeks at Thrallheimen, mostly on the huge terrace or in the living room with it's large windows, both with spectacular views over Norangsfjorden. Inside and outside the house we found everything we could think of, there even was a Weber-Barbecue. Everything was clean and comfortable. The communication with our host Torunn was very pleasant (her paintings around the house are really wonderful!). With the boat that lies in the small marina at Urke we went into Hjorundfjorden, we had wonderful hikes starting at the house, we went to see the glaciers of Jostedalsbreen, had a passage on Geirangerfjorden, went all the way up Trollstigen and into Alesund and and and.... The best was an evening at Union Hotel in Oye, where we had the best meal ever served to us! We really can't thank Torunn enough for very special holidays and do recommend Thrallheimen to everybody else!
