The cottages were in a scenic area and well appointed. The cottage in which we stayed had a steep staircase to get up to the bedrooms, so I would not recommend our particular cottage if anyone has mobility issues. (I am not sure if all of the cabins are the same.) The staff at check in were helpful and friendly. Our family enjoyed a short horseback trail ride to a waterfall. We had a lovely stay!

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.

Our stay here was amazing! It was SO clean, quiet, and private. The communication with the host was fantastic and the cabin exceeded our already high expectations. The hot tub was perfect despite -8 degree C weather, and the northern lights made a spectacular unforgettable experience.

Favorite property of the trip.

Cottage was large and comfortable. We really enjoyed the windows on all sides, so we had a view of everything. The hot tub in the center was great. Rob’s and clogs are provided. This was our favorite property of our 7 day trip.

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.

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.
