We loved to stay at this spacious cabin. It was warm and cozy. Very nice bedding and it had a microwave but no TV. The view to the mountains with the snow on top was beautiful.

Nice location however the shower drain was clogged with other travelers hair. We had to move the bed to get to the plug and it clearly had been a while since someone vacuumed under the bed. Lots of dust bunnies.

Spazi accoglienti e attrezzati ma la pulizia è scarsa. Polvere eccessiva sotto il letto e ragnatele negli angoli anche nelle zone basse. Acqua nella doccia che non si regola facilmente, o gelata o bollente. manca il phon.

Water in the shower is problem. All of sudden you get a hot water which you can't tolerate and immediately it becomes so cold. Difficult to reach out to host, nobody takes the calls.

Cute little place! Location and view were excellent but no toilet paper when we reached. Sent a msg but no response. Bath room door doesn’t close properly and shower goes scalding hot to super cold and we have to find small window of time to use on us! Not great for the price charged!

The cabin was in a beautiful location, clean and check in/out was super easy. It was a nice fit for our family of 4 including 2 teenage boys. The only downside was the water temperature in the shower changed from cold to hot with no warning!

Nice cottage near VIK ! Clean and well Equipped! The check in was totally self check in and self check out that is amazing. Just disregarded that they say that the check in should be done before 9pm. Actually they will send you a code to self access your cottage . The cottages are about 10 yrs old but well maintained.

Cabin 105 has an unacceptable shower. The fact that the showerhead is not quite attached is less of a problem than the fact that the water can be adjusted as either scalding or freezing, but no happy medium. The wifi was wimpy. The cabin itself was sweet, though there were 4 of us adults, so it was incredibly cramped. It's in a beautiful area.

It was nice and quiet when we arrived however there are many other cabins and tiny houses right next to the cottage so there were cars coming in and out at all hours of the night. There were a lot of spiders and cobwebs in the cabin which scared my son. There was a power outage for about 4 hours in the middle of the night and for some reason our toilet wouldn’t flush during that time. Not sure if that is a common occurrence at this location but we had perishable items in the refrigerator so it was not a good experience for us as we were not prepared with a backup cooler. We did not get a great night’s sleep and I would describe this as a basic place to sleep on Ring Road but the electricity and amenities are not dependable or worth the price.

nice to have a complete unit to ourselves clean. shower head was cracked and leaked water out the sides but other than that shower was nice and big. convenient to have a table with 4 chairs. no plug in at counter height so needed to charge phones on floor and plug in kettle on floor. but overall a great little place.
