This property gave me and my friends the space we needed after traveling together so long. 2 toilets are life saver and rooms were big and clean. I would rent this place out with my family and friends again.

It might be a good place to see aurora, which they seem to promote. Unfortunately when we got there it was windy and rainy, and our viewing window faced a lighted up city. They are building more units on the property.
