"We were extremely happy with our stay. The location was easy to find and the view from the room was phenomemal! Loved all the windows! We were able to see the northern lights one night when the clouds cleared. Staff were friendly. The room was clean and well maintained. It was very convenient to be able to pull right up to the room with our car to unload/load. We appreciated having the spacious layout for three people and happy to have a kitchen with coffee provided! The only issue was the pull out couch squeaked which woke us up multiple times, but not for long. It was nice to walk over to the Barn to grab a couple of beers at the end of the day. Warm and welcoming atmosphere. This was one of our favorite stays of our entire trip (stayed at 5 places)."
