We just returned from an amazing vacation to Norway planned by Linda. She incorporated all of my requests -to be away from crowds, on the water, and to be active both hiking and on the water. We travelled to Bergen, Fjaerland, Vaerlandet, and Lofoten and each offered stunning views and landscapes. The accommodations were perfect as well - quaint and personal. I would not have been able to organize such a trip myself or find such gems to stay. LInda was such a pleasure to work with. She was responsive both before and during the vacation to questions and requests. It was comforting to have that local person in country when we had a question. Again - fabulous trip. I would use KimKim again in the future!

Hotel Reviews
Fjærland Fjordstove Hotel
Fjærland

Quaint beautiful hotel on more secluded fjord - perfect setting. The staff was friendly and helpful. The breakfast and dinner were wonderful as well. It is a quiet place to be to just relax and get away. Hiking, kayaking, and sauna right nearby.

Ideal setting right on the water overlooking the landscape - quaint and secluded. The room was modern and clean with fresh decoration. We loved sitting on the porch over the water listening to the wildlife. We had fun biking and hiking on the island right from the hotel. We shopped at the local Joker to make dinner in the room and enjoyed the Joker fish soup! The owner, Elin was so kind and helpful as well - giving us a map of the area and pointing out places to see. Her brother worked at the Joker and also friendly - delivering a yummy breakfast in the morning and pizza one night. Elin and her brother also went out of their way to find a smaller bike for my daughter to ride while we were there. Elin also helped wash clothes in their washer/dryer - so kind.
