I’m not surprised your stay was comfortable. Your determination to go out to watch the sky at night was necessary for successful views of the Northern Lights. I’m very glad you were rewarded with great views and awesome memories to take back home. It was very nice to meet you guys and I hope you have a good winter and if you come this way again, we would be happy to see you. North Pole Nancy

This cabin is unlike anything you’ve experienced. The owner is on the property and the cabin is actually two cabins in one structure. It is calm, and relaxing. Nancy is amazing and made everything super simple. I had my reservations, but if you are open to an experience, you won’t regret it.

So very happy that you got the ‘retreat’ you needed. I’m glad you embraced the outdoor table area the evening before you left. It was a nice opportunity to join you for a bit. Nice meeting you and travel safe in the coming year.

A wonderful, cozy stay! The property consists of one building split into two rental cabins, but it still maintains a very quiet, secluded atmosphere. It’s conveniently located just 3-5 minutes from fuel, food, and shops. Nancy Peterson is an excellent host who provided clear directions and expert local advice the moment we booked. Thanks to her 'must-do' suggestions, we were able to plan our itinerary with ease. Highly recommended for a well-located getaway.

The cabin was perfectly seated in a cozy spot surrounded by trees. Went in msrch and the roads are covered in snow but well maintained for driving. Nancy was great and definitely made you feel welcomed. Highly recommend this cute cozy cabin and the hospitality nancy gives is 5 star.
