If required, sheets and bed covers are provided. The hosts can offer breakfast placed in the fridge and sell eggs, honey and seasonal vegetables.

There is no running water, but there is hot and cold water in the barn 40 m from the cabins. Showers and washing machines are installed here during the summer months. A classic Norwegian outdoor toilet can be found near the cabins. Here there is also a table tennis table available and we have some bicycles that can be borrowed. Outside there is a bench and dining table, and a fireplace where you can barbecue. There is also a swimming area in the river "Nævra" 7 minutes walk from the cabins.

There is a tent site near the cabins and the fire pit outside. The place is easiest to reach from the cycle route for St. Olavsleden, while it is just over 3 km by road from the hiking route for St. Olavsleden at Follabrua. It is 2 km by road from the hiking route for Romboleden.

Torstjønna Pilgrim Farm is best suited for those who want to be close to nature and thrive on a simple standard of accommodation. Here it is a good idea to add an extra day of rest to recover before arriving at Nidaros Cathedral.

Torstjønna has been inhabited since the 1700s, and is mentioned in a mention of the ironworks in Mostadmarka in Hommelvik.
