One night stay outside season

Family visit in April. As we were at the end of the winter season we have missed out on the most of activities what village has to offer. Also everything is at the extra cost , no activities included with Santa stay. We didn’t realise how little to do once the season is over, also little cottages are comfortable enough , but done to the minimal just to provide you basics. I personally would stay in near by A&B with more personal touches and catch a bus to the village just for a visit. Best experience in the area was “Santa Salmon” ! That is 100% a must!

The sleds most of them are broken so I feel like they need to be replaced, the pot and pan I. The room needed to be replaced. I would like to have the room cleaned every day or at least have them pick up the trash specially since we have a baby and diapers were piling up.

Ok place to stay

Cute place to spend a couple nights if you have children. Could do a better job on the decorations and area cleanliness. Very limited dining options and since you are stuck in the area you cant venture out unless you get a service. Numerous shops everywhere ready to sell you trinkets. Rooms are basic but comfortable. I would say its a ok place to stay as long as you know its a tourist trap with basic accommodations and not really holiday/winter themed decorations.

Receptionists were nice, accommodating and helpful. I like that they transported our luggage into our rooms during arrival. With the snow on the ground, it was a huge help. However, it would be great if the same courtesy be extended at departure. It was very difficult pulling our heavy luggage in the snow to get to reception area.

Lovely place

Booked a classic cottage for myself and 7yr old. Very clean and comfortable. Sauna was great for drying wet clothes. Underheated floor in bathroom. Beds comfy. Kitchenette handy. I'd swap the coffee machine for a toaster though. Eateries nearby are very expensive. Breakfast was ok but no baked beans or hash browns. Not much choice for vegetarians. Excellent xmas activities for kids like santa, mrs claus, skidoos. But the kids' favourite thing was the 'accidentally made' ice slide near the arctic circle playground. Great fun and totally free.
