10/10 Excellent
"We arrived during a rainy and extremely windy night. We had booked in the area hoping to see the Northern Lights, but the weather wasn't cooperating. We did find a nicely appointed room - clean and well furnished, and very nice bathroom. Our host was quite friendly and helpful. Breakfast was incredible with family recipe Skyr, homemade jams, freshly baked breads, locally sourced smoked salmon, and other items that were all delicious. We departed that morning, stunned by the natural beauty of the area that we weren't able to see in the stormy weather the night before. We would certainly love to spend more time there in better weather conditions."

"The cabins were super easy to find. Although we only stayed 2 nights, the cabin was comfortable, we slept well, and we could adjust the temperature to what we wanted. parking was good and location was excellent. We were with another couple and hung out the second night and played some cards but if we had any bigger party it would have been cramped. If it was just my wife and i traveling I would totally stay here again."
