Great spot and cabin. FYI - I thought that the kitchen and fridge was in the cabin but it’s in a separate community cabin. Enjoyed my stay and would come back.

Yes on both counts, we wanted to give our accolades to whoever laid out the building site and the interiors, as the buildings were pointed in the right direction so that the rear window provided an excellent view of the northern lites without having to go outside. Also; we enjoyed going into town to use the geo-thermal hot tub and sauna, very nice. All in all, we had a very good stay.
