Geilojordet was originally a farmstead. Geilo Farm has a history dating back to the Middle Ages. From 1924, Geilojordet was an independent farm before the municipality of Hol acquired it, along with its buildings and land, in 1984. Geilojordet is open from the end of June to mid-August. It comprises nine buildings dating from the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries. All the buildings are open to visitors. There is a small, charming playground for children. Admission is free.

Besides being a nice tour around the lake, it is also a great opportunity to see more of the area than just the hotel.
