I recently spent a week here for a silent retreat. I had a cozy single room equipped with all the conveniences and amenities one could expect. The room was simple and basic but most comfortable. I especially loved the ceiling bathroom heater which I don't think I've ever seen before but it made taking a bath most exquisite. The grounds... More

I recently stayed at the Granlibakken Resort for a silent retreat with Adyashanti. The retreat was incredible.I stayed in a single room which was very comfortable. The food was AMAZING and the staff was so kind and courteous. The setting is beautiful. I would highly recommend this resort.

The rooms were great- the staff was responsive and thoughtful. When I arrived I had been traveling since very early morning and had had nothing to eat all day. I expected a restaurant on premises- without checking it out ahead of time- and was told there was none. But they rallied and brought me some food and a bottle of... More

I stayed in a student dorm and found that the cleanliness and comfort level was better then that of the average hostel, closer to a comfortable hotel. Attending the silent retreat I was really touched by the participation of the... More

But the rest of the experience of the resort: the staff and the food were excellent. The landscaping was appealing. The staff... More

I stayed for a week and found the staff friendly, the environment beautiful, the room clean and even the food to be perfect!! My complements to the chef! If you are looking for a quiet retreat from your busy lives: I would recommend the Granlibakken Resort to all.

As part of a group that used this facility for silent meditation practice I can unequivocally state that the result was wonderful. This facility was able to serve our unique requirements and they did so with grace. Special thanks to Max for finding my forgotten items and mailing them back to me.

I and my two sons stayed at Granlibakken Resort over Spring Break. We had a great time and enjoyed our time at Granlibakken. The breakfast buffet was awesome, the rooms were large and comfortable, the pool and hot tub were great to relax in after a day on the slopes. Most of all, the Granlibakken team were very friendly and... More
