It was perfect for a north-Norwegian vacation. ##### Nigel F. Stayed 8 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Renee B. Mar 20, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Spectacular stay! My teenage sons and I stayed at Cristina’s cabins for a couple nights on a Northern Lights chase. The experience was just as described, highly recommend! Great for couples or a family! Thanks Cristina, would love to return one day!! ##### Renee B. Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bryce Jan 17, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, communication What an amazing place to stay. The drive from Tromso to the cabin is breathtaking as you drive through the mountains and alongside lakes. The cabin has a beautiful view of mountains and was very peaceful. I recommend this cabin to anyone that wants a relaxing getaway in the mountains. ##### Bryce ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hunter S.

The cabin has everything you need: picture window for northern lights and a moccamaster coffee machine for when you get back from a hike (pick up a bag of ground beans from kaffebønna in Tromso on your way!). Cristina is an incredibly responsive and helpful host ##### Dave L. Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kyana T.

Man kann vom Garten aus, wenn der Himmel klar ist, die Polarlichter sehen. Für uns hatte alles gepasst. Die Gastgeber waren super freundlich und hilfsbereit. Der Weg zur Hütte hoch ist noch etwas abenteuerlich, aber nichts was einen Sternabzug bedeutet würde:) ##### Domenic S.

Despite regular snow showers and overcast skies throughout my stay, I still enjoyed it very much. The walk from the road to the cabin in deep snow is not to be underestimated, but it became an important aspect of the peaceful reflective time. ##### David W.

Oct 27, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Toll für Nordlicht-, Natur- und Sternebeobachter Zwei allein im Wald am Berg gegenüber einem See gelegene Ferienhütten. Wir waren nur zu Dritt und haben daher nur die größere benutzt, die auch eine Innentoilette und ein Duschbad hat. Es gibt außerdem eine Außentoilette und einen Abstellraum mit Wärmeanzügen und einer Schuhheizung. Die Hütte ist gemütlich und auch bei Temperaturen um 0 bis minus 8 Grad im Oktober warm. Es kommt etwas Abenteuerfeeling auf, weil aus dem Wasserhahn nur kaltes Wasser kommt, warmes Wasser zum Duschen oder Spülen kann man in zwei großen Behältern (ca. 5-8 l) erhitzen. Das reicht für ca. 5 min. Duschen. Bei Minusgraden wird das Wasser abgestellt, die Vermieter hatten jedoch mit großen Behältern für ausreichend Vorrat gesorgt. Die Toiletten sind ökologisch und funktionieren ohne Wasser, da die Hütte bei der Alleinlage nicht an die Kanalisation angeschlossen ist, was ungestörte Nordlichtbeobachtung ermöglicht (ohne Lichtverschmutzung). Das ist uns in 10 Tagen viermal gelungen, wir haben tolle Fotos machen können. Ein Auto ist unverzichtbar. Um auf den Parkplatz an der Hütte zu gelangen ist ein Allradfahrzeug mit größerer Bodenfreiheit (SUV) erforderlich. Sonst parkt man an der Straße und geht einen Fußpfad zur Hütte hoch. Das ist kein Problem, nur mit viel Gepäck lästig. Die Kommunikation mit den Vermietern war stets superschnell, sie meldeten sich sofort und gaben Tipps, waren sehr hilfsbereit. Wir haben vom Wohnzimmer aus über das Fernglas z.B. einen Adler gesehen, es ist für Naturfreunde super geeignet. Wir haben uns dort sehr wohl gefühlt. ##### Beatrix K.
