You're really in the "middle of nowhere" and that's a fantastic feeling. The road towards the hotel is a gravel road (>4km). Make sure to bring your own food because there is nothing to find around. This really is a fantastic location

Why does this apartment complex exist in the middle of literally nowhere? We don't know, but it was very nice! As we drove toward it, we were questioning whether it actually existed because it's far down a smooth dirt road surrounded by literally nothing. The room was very nice, clean, shower was great, kitchenette had plates, cups, utensils for 4, a nice couch and TV. We loved our stay.

The only issue was we had never used an induction stove before and we didn’t know how to unlock the stove so we could use it. We eventually figured it out with a good YouTube video.

This is a new property. There are still works in progress but no workers present maybe it was weekend. The unit has everything we needed, exceptionally clean. The drive from the main road took about 12 minutes. The morning we checked out, sky was blue. We enjoyed the drive back to the highway. There are mossy lava rocks, crystal clear streams, goats… The only reason I didn’t give five stars is because I didn’t receive any emails for door code or check in information prior to arrival. I had to call the number on the notice posted on the property.

While communication is great and we were given clear direction to reach the property. Upon arriving we discovered there is no hot water and the heaters are not working. We attempted calling and emailing in late hours but didn’t receive any response.

Don’t doubt yourself when driving down the road. Just keep driving with car windows up. Didn’t receive any email about check in process from the property; staff was actually there waiting; saying they don’t do email as we booked via Expedia. Nice room as it’s a very new facility. Had to wear eye mask as the curtains doesn’t block the light. Oh one big bummer—WiFi not working. Several phone calls with no resolutions 😞

Malgré la route de gravel pour si rendre qui peut-être un peu intimidante lors d'une arrivée tardive, le lieu est exceptionnel. L'appartement est très sympa et nous avons eu les commoditiés demandé pour notre bébé. Le lieu n'est pas spécifiquenent adapté pour les enfants, ça va tout de même.

Free ample parking, easy access to room, kitchenette to cook/ heat up meals, no staff on property but runs efficiently- they respond to requests in a timely manner. A bit expensive considering the 7 km unpaved road though it is an easy drive- no issues there

The rooms/apartments are fairly newly built, clean, spacious, well furnished with kitchenette and good size bathroom. You park your car right outside of your room like a motel setup. There is no lobby or staff, you get your room key via the lock box on each door. The hotel is in a very desolate area, takes over 30min to get to when you drive off route 1 and onto an unpaved dirt/gravel road, very bumpy. No lights no nothing just open land. Very hard to get to if you are driving in the dark. Nothing is nearby (40min away) so you better get groceries and food before you head to the hotel.

Great place to stay. Comfy, great black out shades for the midnight sun, spacious, compact kitchen to cook. Only negative is it is a good 10-15 minutes off the ring road driving on a bumpy dirt road.

Easy check-in, the apartment offers everything you need. The walls are a little thin and you can hear the people next door talking. Make sure to bring earplugs with you, if it bothers you. Only downside is the way to the accommodation on the gravel road.
