The view of the glacier is stunning. The skylight and large window were perfect for viewing the northern lights. The hosts made us feel special on our honeymoon by hanging a congratulations banner. The room is large and the cooktop, tea kettle, and dishes were great for preparing a few meals.

Great view of Northern lights…. Please consider having other cabins’ outdoor lights turn off on a timer after a certain timeframe - we couldn’t figure out how to turn ours off. Also, the coffee pot leaks despite following instructions

Cabins stay was very nice and cute. Only thing I would say is the bedding could have been cleaner. There was pieces of hair in my bed from a previous tenant.

View is amazing, the place is very nice, we loved it. It would have been nice to have a microwave but we managed. The hot water is limited so we would get wet turn the water off to soap up then rinse off again to ensure we both had hot water. I would recommend this place to people.

Cozy and adorable

Loved being able to see the glaciers and lupine through the window. Perfect little spot. Beds were comfortable!! Room was warm!! The sheep woke us up chatting in the morning (that’s a good thing, they are so cute!!). Little kitchenette was stocked with exactly what we needed to prepare a small meal for two. Mini fridge! Shower was great. Just have to keep showers short but that was fine.
