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.

A little disappointed unfortunately

I booked this place based on the reviews, but my experience was different. First, never receive an email about self-check-in on the day of arrival, so had to call (a long distance call by cellphone) the owner. Second, the noise was carried between the walls, could hear shower, footsteps and voices. It was clean and beds were okay.

Wonderful views. Warm and comfortable apartment in the guesthouse. Kitchen facilities fine. When the sun is out lovely to sit outside. Comfortable bed, hot shower. Even some books supplied. As ever the only thing is noise from other apartments as the 5 are in one line so heavy walking vibrates the flooring. As long as people go to bed at a reasonable time and don't get up too early not too much of an issue.
