We enjoyed our stay. The shared kitchen was a good bonus. During our stay, it was very windy but the cabin didn’t move at all.

I arrived in the morning and the host was very accommodating. The room was very cozy and clean as well as the bathrooms and shared areas. I was very comfortable with my stay and the view of the northern lights was right outside the cottage. I would definitely stay here again!

Great spot and cabin. FYI - I thought that the kitchen and fridge was in the cabin but it’s in a separate community cabin. Enjoyed my stay and would come back.
