Sundvollen (Sundvolden) was first the name of the local farm, which included much of the local real estate. The name is connected to the lake's formation, which narrows in this area. In the census of 1801, 71 persons lived at and nearby the farm (both farmers and serfs with their families). From the farm, the hotel sprung, possibly as a wayside inn first. As a crucial meeting point, the farm prospered from serving travelers going up to central Ringerike.
