We were here for less than 12 hours so can't comment on much but it was nice and warm and clean and beds were super comfortable...even the pull out couch. Would stay again if I'm ever in the area
we loved our stay here. we checked in quite late. it was already pitch black by the time we arrived but we were able to check in with no difficulty. and we were able to see the northern lights! in the morning, we could see the snow-capped mountains in the distance. a truly beautiful location.

Great Stay!
We had a comfortable stay at the Guesthouse. It was very clean and spacious. Cooking utensils and supplies were provided for, even though we didn't make use of it. Check-in and check-out was easy. Great communications with the host.

Lovely and quiet property. Had everything we needed to cook including oil. Very clean and nice. Would have been a good place to see the Aurora since it is out of town but unfortunately we did not. Would definitely recommend.
