The location was by far the most unique experience we’ve ever had!! And that is what makes it so special. Truly ‘out in nowhere’ and super relaxing! The hot tub felt great after a full day of exploring! Loved it and definitely recommend using it. Everyone we came in contact with were exceedingly kind, helpful and accommodating. It’s a one of a kind type of hotel experience!! Go & enjoy!!

This property is a gem! It’s a small country hotel with spectacular valley views! There is a beautiful outdoor soaker tub and the rooms are new and clean. It’s a bit off the ring road but well worth getting away from the city lights for a chance to see the Aurora which we did! Great value for money!
