The stay at the cottages was extremely comfortable, with a stream running by and moutains you can relax at this place. They had good wifi connection and when reached out for help, the person on-line was helpful. We enjoyed our stay.

The cottage was easy to find, clean and exactly what the pictures look like. It was nice to have a microwave to cook food because resturants everywhere are very expensive.

This cottage was so cute. I wished the northern lights would have shown up because it was a perfect place to view them. The beds were supper comfortable. I got my best sleep there.

Very cute stay. The room was nice and private with everything we needed. The curtains did not really do much to prevent the midnight sun from coming directly into the sleeping area but we made do by hanging some extra coats, towels and sheets to block the direct sun.

The smell from the sewer was too strong. Shower area was tight. Other than those, all was good. Everything including a full kitchen and a hairdryer was provided.

Overnight stay
Cottage was as shown on booking site. Compact with suitable amenities. Very warm overnight and could not turn heating down. Booked as part of a circle drive. Did book incorrect date and discovered this soon after. Email to cottages to request a change went unanswered. I respect that no cancellation but to change to a next day date should not have been a problem. This meant I had to reorganise my trip. Wifi good. A little out of town.

If you want to add to your adventure and are willing to not just be in hotels, don't over-look this option. After a long drive and poor conditions we arrived later to the cabin. The communication to get in spot on, the conditions were really good and it had everything a person needed.
The evening had crazy high winds and I thought the cabin may blow over with the campers outside but it was warm and comfy. Wi fi and TV worked great, kitchen set up was good enough if you're staying more than one night. It's not for everone but it was great and a conversation piece for afterwards. Great experience.
