FURU, where nature and culture meet.
My wife and I had the pleasure of spending a night in Furu's Mirror cabin and it was an unforgettable experience. Waking up surrounded by nature, protected from the elements, was simply amazing. The cabin's large mirrored walls create a magical atmosphere, reflecting the surroundings in a mesmerizing way, giving you the feeling of being completely surrounded by nature.
From the cozy furnishings to the well-thought-out details with local references, everything has been thought of to make you feel comfortable. We enjoyed the peace, comfort and breathtaking views in equal measure and can recommend the Mirror cabin to anyone looking for a special break in nature.
What a wonderful place in nature, a perfect place for inner peace. Wonderful service. Excellent design and details. A must in the region of Lillehammer. I enjoyed every minute and was happy to stay four nights. Just perfect to recharge my batteries.
Beautiful location, in the middle of nature. The cabins are graceful and allow all surroundings to come in with their spectacular beauty!
