Husmannstugua is a restored house from 1780 with a basic standard. There are eight beds, with possibility of a few extra. The restoration has given room to a spacious bathroom with amenities for weary pilgrims. The house is part of the agricultural landscape in Biri, and just outside of the property there is also a heritage site, a stone ring from around the year 1000.

There are no dining facilities, beyond the possibility of breakfast serving, as this place is based on self-catering. A grocery store and café is just 400 meters away, for those who want a ready-made dinner. Bathing facilities is a ten minute walk away at Biri Racetrack.

Bed linen and towels can be rented. Transportation of luggage could be arranged if needed.
