"WOW! Everything we expected and more.
Gamme rooms are very comfortable and cosy. Husky ride was amazing, crab fishing was fun and delicious. We choose to stay 3 nights and not be stressed doing too many activities in a day and give us time to see the aurora which was spectacular! Hiking around the mountain is also a must!"
