Loved the cozy cabin. Had everything we needed. Picked up a few grocery’s at the gas station on the way. We also enjoyed dinner at the hotel 5 minutes away. So nice to come back to after sightseeing to enjoy the thermal pool steps from the cabin. So relaxing. Quiet. Definitely recommend.

Beautiful tranquil cabin

Loved the cabin, the location and the gorgeous hot tub. We had a very enjoyable stay. The cabin was very clean, and it had everything we needed to prepare meals in the kitchen. Check in at the Reception building was quick and friendly, we were given instructions to find the location of the cabinet which made it easy to locate.

The interior of our cottage was comfortable and full of amenities. And what really addedto the vibe was the hot tub in the center of the cottages. No luck with the northern lights due to clouds drifting in, but it was a lot of fun anyway.

Fantastic Cottage

The cottage was charming, spacious and very clean. The bed was very comfortable. The kitchen was really good, four burners, an oven and cookwear in good condition. Everything was very well organized including a QR code at reception to load directions to the cottage into google maps and another QR code n the cottage to join the internet which was fast and reliable. Highly recommended.
