We had a great stay in this family run hotel. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was plentiful and varied and we also enjoyed a simple 3 course dinner which we enjoyed. We had a soak in the outdoor hot tub which was a bonus

The hotel was great. Quiet. The Sauna was good. The hottubs were fine, but no jets. Breakfast was hearty and fresh. Location is fine but not really in walking distance of dining options. That being said, it was a quick drive to the center of the city with some great dining options.

We absolutely loved this place. Our second trip here and this time we rented a cabin. These are not ordinary cabins, these are small homes with a geothermal hot tub set in a small community setting. There is even your own bbq on a huge deck. We would absolutely comeback… only next time use the cabin as our base camp for the north!

Beautiful hotel!! We stayed for 2 nights and were totally charmed by its quaint feel. There is a free hot tub and sauna available to guests which is such a nice touch as well. Breakfast was also fantastic. Staff was so friendly and welcoming, one man at reception went the extra mile to walk with us and show us exactly where the sauna was when we arrived and got a little lost- thanks so much for that!! Room was perfect for what we needed it for and you are only about an 8 min drive to the city center. You also get a beautiful view from your room :) highly highly recommend!

Beautiful, cozy cabin. Made dinner for 6 here no problem. The hot tub was great. Within walking distance of a grocery store if it snows hard enough to discourage driving, which it did.

Absolutely phenomenal and immaculately clean 3 bedroom, 2 bath cottage~ fully equipped with microwave, oven, stove, refrigerator, hot tub with back out shades, modern design/vibe, tranquil setting overlooking farm with beautiful Icelandic horses. Large living room area with huge flat screen smart tv with Amazon, Hulu, Disney +, and Netflix. Large cozy sectional couch in family room that could easily sleep multiple guests.
Perfect stay for our family of 4.
Highly recommend!

Our family of 5 stayed in the family suite which was spacious and comfortable. The one suggestion for improvement would be to add a second sink to the common area, since there was only one shared bathroom.
This is at the edge of town, up a hill. I would not recommend for those who don’t have a car. There is a hiking trail behind the property. It is quiet and pleasant.

We thought the decor was fun and a great throwback and the locale made for a great view. The staff was overfall really friendly too!
We missed having a fridge in the room and also the shampoos and bathroom were never totally cleaned up.
What was most challenging however were the limited hot tube hours! We would have used a late night tub as well as morning tub and 5 hours in the evening were not just not conducive to our local travels and explorations,

Great hotel! Was right down the road from shops and dining. Beautiful view and adorable decor. Staff was super kind and helpful and breakfast had many options. The rooms did get quite stuffy/ warm and there were no fans/ air. We opened the window, which helped, however the nice weather outside (yay) made the inside quite warm. Overall, would stay again!
