Communication was excellent. Nice, quiet location. You have to fill the tub yourself on arrival which takes some time, but instructions were clear and easy. A great spot!

We stayed 2 nights at this property. The property didn’t provide shampoo or body wash ( I did reach out to owner and was told that’s not included). Linen was not the cleanest. Owen doesn’t work. Also there is no dishwasher and so have to clean after you to avoid any extra fee. I definitely will not stay at this place again.

We had a great winter stay.

The views were sunning. Loved looking at the snow covered views from the hot tub.

Star gazing and northern lights when it got dark.

Plenty of space around the accommodation for the children to explore/ go sledging.

Also conveniently located for whale watching from Dalvik

Quiet and cozy cottage! Well equipped kitchen. Flexible check in time with clear instructions. Clean bed sheets and towels. Only drawbacks are stains over the whole shower area and thin pillow.

Good location and a lot of space

Very nice location, beautiful surrounding. A lot of space, good for a family. The only problem I experienced is the room was very hot for some reasons.I had to open all windows to cool it down.

Lorenzo is the ultimate host. He spent time with me many days just taking care of small items like lighting the gas grill. The cottage is a cozy place, so 1 or 2 is perfect. It overlooks the mountains to the west of Dalvik. The ski touring and hiking possibilities within a 20 minute drive are endless!

The setting is stunning especially in the snow! Lorenzo, the host, is very helpful and hospitable. The property is perhaps a littke dated but it is fine fir a short break and there is plenty to explore in the area.

Great value

Amazing area, views from the cottage & the hot tub are gorgeous. Cottage is comfortable, bathroom needs a makeover. The WiFi wasn't working half of the time, but that was not a big issue.

The property is a unique place to stay outside of Dalvik. The cottages are tiny -- maybe 2mx3m containing a kitchenette, a futon and a bathroom. Unfortunately the room booked as a double room contains just a futon which made for a very uncomfortable sleep as my legs hung halfway off the end! Also, because of the lack of space the bathroom can't have a door so your only privacy is a curtain. (Which my knees poked through.) Additionally, the shower is in a different building -- it's not too far of a walk, but it's a bit inconvenient! There's a sauna and a hot tub but the hot tub was empty and we couldn't figure out how to turn on the sauna either.

Very comfortable, spotless and well-equipped cabin. Wish I could have stayed a week. It’s an awesome location, with amazing scenery in all directions. Easy to let myself in, easy to check myself out as well. Some people might want blackout curtains but it didn’t bother me - I got to take some great pictures of the midnight near-sunset. Looking forward to coming back sometime.

disappointing

the pictures of the property were deceiving. The room was tiny. A small converted portion of a garage. The private bathroom was so small, it had to have a shower curtain instead of a door, otherwise you couldn't close the door while sitting on the toilet. The private shower was in an outhouse and you have to go out in the cold to use it. The hot tub was drained. The deck is much bigger than the tiny room, but because it's so cold, it's difficult to enjoy sitting outside for coffee in the morning. Extremely overpriced. But clean and the area is beautiful. By far the worst property we stayed at during our visit. We stayed at many other properties for the same price that were absolutely fabulous and spacious. This was not worth the $100/night they charged.

This was a phenomenal summer house with spectacular views. It reminded me of a cottage on Nantucket on the inside, and the view of the mountains and river were beautiful. Really clean. My family wanted to stay additional nights. Lorenzo was very quick to respond and provided directions for everything to us ahead of time. This place was definitely an A+ in every way. Thanks Lorenzo!

Meget trængt værelse.

Værelset var meget lille. Sovesofa, som skulle slås ud, og derved tog en del af rummet. Værelset er faktisk kun egnet til 1 person og ikke to,
Ingen bordplads. Skulle spise på terrassen.
Toilettet havde ingen dør, men kun et gardin. Og store personer kan ikke benytte toilettet.
Bad skulle foregå i saunaen. (OK) Sauna var også til fri afbenyttelse.
