"Had a great stay wonderful heat in the fall months in your rooms great almost instant hot water, the staff was amazing and very helpful with suggestions for our three week stay and the northern lights are easily visible late night through early morning at the hotel rear fenced area and it’s about 12minutes from many dark sky location for viewing many of the tourist attractions were closed at the time we stayed but we never ran out of places to go and things to do within a days drive for three weeks will definitely be going back. Complimentary breakfast was good but we had a room with a kitchen and choose to do most of our own cooking. Parking was easy in October. Met many tenants with pets it is a pet friendly hotel although we do not travel with any."

"This stay was a surprise. It is off the beaten path nestled in the woods with neighboring homes with spacious lots. It is a modern building that looks like a modern home. It has gravel driveway. It has a self check in with a text to office/ staff for help if needed. They are responsive. Building is clean and provides slippers for the use inside. The room is clean, has desk, reading chair and a spectacular viewing window that proved to be very useful for catching the northern loghts. The kitchen downstairs was packed with goodies and frig was packed with various options and frozen food and treats. Kitchen area has a large sitting table. All and all it was one of the memorable places we have stayed. I am glad we went and did see the northern lights. But the northern lights due to weather and nature are not always visable."
