Northern lights, snowshoeing and night in Lavoo - We opted for snowshoeing and overnight in a lavvo. How to say that the stay was beautiful. Thanks to José for his sympathy, punctuality and advice! Thanks to Berenica and Angelina for their talents in cooking! And a BIG thank you to Arthur for his kindness, patience, explanations before, during and after the snowshoe ride. We were lucky because we were alone, everyone was taking care of us and we were able to observe sublime Northern Lights from our lavvo. There is a very positive energy in this place. I highly recommend!

Eye opening! - It was an interesting experience! For us City folk Asians, to be able to experience a night under the stars in a Lavvo is unimaginable. Our guide was very knowledgeable, casual and speaks very good English. The food was delicious and feels very local. A note would be that you will have to bring your own toiletries for the shared toilet at the main house.

Wonderful stay and the best hosts! - Awesome stay! Jose, Angelina, and their team are wonderful hosts. The house is beautiful and the Crystal Lavvos are very cozy. Sadly weather meant the Northern Lights weren't visible but we still had a great time on the snowshoe hike and enjoying our stay onsite. Would absolutely recommend to anyone!

This was really unique,... - This was really unique, and we're glad to have done it, but there is definitely room for improvement. Leveling up on a couple of things could make this a truly exceptional experience. I think this is mostly meant to be an aurora viewing opportunity, and it is a perfect setting if they come out. For us it was very faint, and no one can control that, so it wasn't a problem. However, this is essentially a "B&B" situation and we wish that: 1. There would have been even just two options for lunch and dinner. To assume that everyone will love fish soup for lunch or meatballs for dinner is a big swing. The person making the food was really sweet and seems to really love cooking, but could use some additional training (I say this as a college culinary instructor of 15 years- just saying there's potential!). 2. The snowshoeing was really fun, but quick. Afterward there was a very weird and awkward three hours of time where we couldn't get into our accommodation and had to hang out in the common space in the house. It would have been nice to have some other options or things to keep us busy- a bonfire, more showshoeing, etc... We wanted cozy and these three hours in a small space with 8 other people we didn't know and a raunchy Netflix movie they chose to watch, wasn't hygge. Also maybe if we knew there would be that big gap in time we could have planned ahead, but the activity listing isn't clear about this. 3. We were told that we could go to the beach and explore, but it would have been really nice to have someone guide us there and explain or show us around for a few minutes, especially given that it was very icy and very dark. The steep, icy driveway is so dangerous.
