A little off the beaten path, but in between Diamond Beach and Hofn. There is no reception area. Therefore, do not expect any amenities that come with that assistance or common space. Rooms are private and spacious. Bathrooms are tights though. The rooms come with a large window that gave us a fantastic view of the Northern Lights all night long. The remoteness of the hotel provides those dark skies. Great spot overall, especially if you know what to expect when you arrive.

Our stay here was okay. We really liked the view and how big the windows were as well as the ceiling window, it made for a great way to see the stars and the northern lights. However, some things were not the most comfortable such as the pillows (provided 2 pillows but they were extremely flat), the window in our unit was not totally closed/sealed and the knob was locked so it seemed that the window had a bit of a flaw as it let a lot of cold air in and one of the days we stayed in was very windy so it made for a very cold night as we could feel the cold wind get in over our heads since the beds were above the window, have to time our showers since hot water is limited, and lastly, could smell the sceptic tank outside the unit at the parking area. Host were very responsive to our questions though and they seemed like nice people.

This place was amazing, was not expecting this at all. Everything is brand new and check-in instruction was super smooth. Best of all we were able to see the northern lights at night! Would 10/10 recommend.

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.
