My friends and I recently got back from a 4 night stay at vassel Gard & on arrival we met the owner who was very welcoming. Each chalet had 4 adults (2 bunks), a communal living space and a shared bathroom. (The shared bathroom is a separate wash block & not within the chalet itself which i didn't mind). 
First impressions: the self catering chalets had recently been renovated and were nicely done but were not properly equipped for self catering. There was a distinct lack of equipment such as knives, pots, pans etc. In the end we had to knock on the door of the owners and ask for a knife as we couldn't find anything to cook with. There was a lot of inconsistency with regards to who had what cooking facilities in their chalets  - some people had pans and no toaster. Other had a toaster but no pans. We were lucky that we had 2 cabins so we could swap & share bits and pieces. In the communal cooking areas there was also dirty washing up which had been left by previous people.
For the wash block, there was a distinct lack of toilet paper & we constantly had to scrabble around looking for some throughout our 4 night stay. The shower was very good but there is only 1 female & 1 male shower in the whole of the site. There are no stools/ chairs to put any of your belongings whilst you shower so there was a theme of stuff always getting wet as drainage was a bit of an issue. On the positive, the shower was very powerful and hot which was great after a long day. There is also only 1 sink that has running water to clean teeth etc. 
In terms of the living space, the bunk beds were very comfy (but quite small), & the bedding was clean & soft. It was clean but the cabin itself was far too small for 4 adults.
The location was fantastic and the setting was as pretty as a picture. It is a working farm with sheep & goats and waterfalls in the distance, so for scenery you couldn't beat it! Waking up to those views was really awesome :) 

Vassel Gard has the potential to be really quite amazing but they let themselves down with the lack of attention to detail..... restock the toilet paper (every day) and make sure each cabin has the right cooking facilities to begin with. 
On the whole we had a great time but i probably wouldn't stay there again.

Pretty with simple  accomodation

We stayed in one the cottages. The owner was very friendly. It was very spacious and when we arrived it smelled nice and clean. Linen and towels were also nice and clean. The kitchen was okay, it could have been bigger considering the space available in the cottage (a bigger stove would have been nice). The bathroom was typically Norwegian: you have to shower in the middle of the bathroom, in front of the toilet. That means the whole bathroom gets wet, but it wasn't too annoying, since it dried up quickly. The free wifi was great. The view over the lake (Herandsvatnet) was amazing, and when you walk a couple of minutes towards the village you get a nice view on the Hardangerfjord.

Unfortunately, the bunk bed was terrible. It is probably perfectly okay for children, but not for adults. It wasn't stable (it almost fell down when someone climbed the ladder) and the foam mattresses are not suited for adults.

Cottage with great view

Just what we needed! Fresh air, beautiful views, great people!💜Our family really enjoyed our 5 day and nite visit to Vassel Gard. Aud and Jonnie were great host . Aud even took me on a guided hike through the hills and streams right off the site! Bon fires, and hot dog roast , fishing , and rowing the boat across the lake! Loved it!



Get away at Vassal Gard!

Booked this cabin through bookings.com for 5 nights. The owner / manager was there to greet us on arrival, a very helpful friendly man.  Such a  relaxing area, overlooking a lovely lake. We were in one of the basic cabins which was fine for us, it had a 2 ring hob, coffee machine, microwave and fridge, and 2 rooms with 2 bunkbeds. Perfect free wifi throughout the campsite.  just a short walk to the toilet and shower block which was fairly clean. The campsite was clean and well run. The farm itself is a working farm and so be prepared for farmyard smells but we expected that, it didn't last long. There are small rowing boats available to row on the lake and lots of pleasant walks around the area, a 20 minute stroll downhill to the small village. We enjoyed our stay
