"While we started the stay with a bit of communication confusion and found the kitchen floor to have missed its sweeping, the house was in a gorgeous location and proved to be great place for watching the northern lights. The four of us found the beds to be comfortable and enjoyed evenings on enjoying the fireplace, cooking, and using those great desk chairs to watch the sound and the lights. Overall, a great stay. "
