“Away from Solvang's bustle yet an easy walk to the village, this boutique hotel distinguishes itself with gardens and a relaxing courtyard. I particularly appreciate the blend of Danish-inspired design and the home-like touches, like kitchenettes. It's a quiet retreat that still keeps you close to the action.”
