Easy check in and check out. Restaurant within walk-in distance. Kitchen was a bit crowded so I am glad we didn’t plan to cook. Just a few minutes away from beautiful view of the water and sunset. We drove for about 5-10 minutes and got to see northern lights. It’s located in a cute small town. Highly recommend.

The setting is lovely and the staff are friendly and helpful. Having the kitchen facilities was great—we were able to prepare breakfast and were given a voucher for a free coffee at a wonderful place down the street. All in all, an excellent stay!

We really enjoyed our stay overall, however the room was very warm and the one window we could open a few inches had to be propped to stay open. The room was clean. Loved the communal kitchen and dining area.

I wish we had planned differently and booked multiple nights here! The rooms were large, well equipped to sort all the travel stuff, and the location was perfect. Easy access to mountains, falls and trails and a terrific view from the back door.
