    Great spot and photos but not the most well-organised

    Verity C, Jan 2020
    The Northern Lights were incredible and we so appreciated being able to get good photos since we only had our phones! There was a lot of wasted time at the beginning of the night due to some organisation issues within the company but the rest of the night was good. Great cabin and spot on the lake for aurora viewing, and delicious snacks on the barbecue.
