Beautiful picture window over the bed, highlighting the glacier. Had a gorgeous view of the northern lights. Just enough space for two people, very clean, easy check in and out. Kitchen area good for a very simple meal.
We had a mixed experience with the cottage, mostly due to the storm outside. This caused a lot of noise inside, which kept us from a good night's sleep.
The cottage itself was good, but some of the amenities were kept to the bare minimum.
For example, there's only 5 minutes of warm water in the shower. The kitchen had only 2 glasses, 2 knives, 2 forks and so on. This could have been a bit more generous.
Check in was very easy. Room was clean with a stocked kitchenette. Nice big widows to be able to see the mountains while laying in bed. However the shower was so small I could not wash properly. Also there was not a tv and wifi was too weak to watch anything on my phone/tablet. It was so hot that we had to sleep with the window cracked. However there is a fan in the room. Good thing or it would have been unbearable. The closest town is about 20 mins away. Overall not my favorite.
Very cute room and meets my high expectations, but neighbors keep their porch lights on ALL NIGHT which really detracts from the appeal of a secluded dark location for viewing stars and aurora.
Clean. New. Easy to find. Great view. Warm and cozy. Had a kitchenette which was very convenient. The one downside was the shower only has 5 minutes of hot water and my husband had to have a cold shower.

The property is located on very beautiful land and has gorgeous surroundings. The property also has an interior design that maximizes the beauty of the land. The only thing I wish could be improved was to have hot water running for longer and to have the water be hot and not just lukewarm.
Rooms have an amazing view of glaciers. Other than that not much going on. Good for an overnight halt.
There was no hot water in the shower. There being no staff on prem there is no fix. Only option is WhatsApp to owners. Sent a message at 9.30 am and got a response at 4.00 in the afternoon (after we had checked out). No apologies only a “thank you for letting us know”.
Stayed one night on ring road trip. The property is a bit isolated but the view of the three glaciers from the large glass window in the room was just amazing. Would definitely recommend.
Beautiful little room with a small kitchen, patio/chairs, and a great window with a view of a glacier. Close to some great attractions, but nice and quiet for some good sleep. The owner was very responsive to our questions and they have a little dossier about the area which was helpful.
We loved that this was really just out there off of the Ring Road. Lovely room with comfy beds and a kitchenette that meant we could have a hot meal. Loved it!
