The location is AMAZING for exploring. The cabin WAS super comfortable, and i saw great light SHOWS. Check in was flexible. Check out was easy. I like the northern lights, the cabin IS warm, cozy, and BEAUTIFULLY set up.
the cottage was a little minimal, and i seemed like some basic things were missing in the kitchen.
