We loved the cabin when we stayed here a few years ago, and we were excited to return! The cabin was the perfect spot… far enough away from town to hopefully see the northern lights, but close enough for day trips to surrounding areas.

Pictures were taken for the front yard of the property towards the road.

Our family of four thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the cabin. The location was great for aurora viewing and all the outdoor activities we had planned. The host was always responsive and very accommodating with our checkout time, for which we are very grateful. The cabin was well stocked with games, movies, pots and pans, towels, laundry items and paper goods. They even supplied the coffee! We would definitely stay here again. Thank you Russell and Monique for allowing us to stay in your lovely cabin.

The hosts were extremely helpful, super responsive and offered some fun suggestions for our winter holiday trip - they even put up a Christmas tree for our winter holiday visit!!

Well, we have been to this property many times the one thing that makes the property great other than the location is Monique and Russell they’re always so accommodating and helpful. The property itself is great. It’s a little getaway into the wilderness on the edge of civilization. Best of both worlds. It’s what we call our home away from home. it’s a place where you can see wildlife and the northern lights. don’t hesitate and book this and for you older people my wife and I are 70 years old and we’re going to do this just as long as we can because it’s that special.we go every year and we love it each and every time the northern lights are different every time it’s a new adventure every year that we go

On this night, it was hard to decide which part of the aurora I was going to shoot they were moving so fast

The cabin was awesome!! It was secluded and quiet, but still close to coffee. We enjoyed relaxing and having direct tv accessible. The kitchen was well stocked and the beds were great! We had the perfect place to park, right outside the door. The extra large back yard was the perfect place to watch the skies for the auroras.
