The stone cabins at Kastad farm are remotely located in stunning natural surroundings. The cabin in the forest, like the other cabins, has a fantastic view of Mjøsa and Kastadtjern. Here you can unplug and wake up to a delicious breakfast basket with freshly roasted croissants. Suitable for 2 people. The forest is one of 3 stone cabins on the farm The other two are Røysa and the field. All three cabins are so close that several couples can book together. But so unashamedly that no one sees you!

The space
Steinhytta Skogen is idyllically in the forest below Kastad Gård.

The cabin does not have electricity, but is well equipped with candles, a fire pan, a small sink with running water and an outdoor toilet. From the cabin you can stroll down to the Throwing Tower for a nice morning bath (when the ice is gone ;-).

Check in at 3pm and check out by noon.

You can stop at the farm when you arrive, and someone will show you down to the cabin. It is possible to drive a car all the way down.

The cabin is rented out with a fully made up double bed, towels, tea lights, matches, wood and a fireplace. We will bring you a breakfast basket when you want it between 8 and 10 in the morning. Coffee and tea and some sweet treats will be ready when you arrive.

If you want that little extra, we offer 3-course dinner served in the cottage in the evening. Dinner costs NOK 1400,- for 2 people. You bring your own drinks. If you want to cook your own food, bring whatever you want with you. Please note that cooking equipment is limited. We definitely recommend the 3 course dinner!

If you want to borrow a rowboat at Kastadtjern, we can offer this. In the cottage there are two fishing rods! Maybe you can grill the self-fished trout!

There are a lot of great hiking opportunities nearby. We recommend the trip to Ramberget, which is located on a hill north of Gjøvik, with fantastic views of Mjøsa and Gjøvik city.

If not, just enjoy the calm.:)

Gourmet in beautiful surroundings, welcome to Kastad Gård. The farm was cognac producer Sverre Braastad's home in Norway and was designed by architect Arnstein Arneberg. The farm is owned and operated today by Patrick and Eva Braastad. The location is magnificent with an amazing view over Mjøsa and Kastadtjärn, 6 km north of Gjøvik. About the food experience at Braastad Experience Eyvind Hellstrøm was so excited that he wrote about it in his book when he got to taste Eva Braastad's ice cream with cognac, served with authentic history in cognac producer Sverre Braastad's summer place at Gjøvik. It is also so for Michelin chefs, that the taste is colored by the surroundings, people, and the experience there and then. This is exactly what Eva and Patrick Braastad are working on in Braastad Experience. Today, the couple has opened the magnificent space for both classes and conferences, weddings, and party days that deserve something extra. From the farm at 361 meters above sea level, guests have panoramic views of Mjøsa and Inland. And as mentioned, the food is in the very best hands of hosting.
