  : Stunning isolated location on a frozen river. We would have loved to have been able to stay longer. Suits travel if you are renting a car. lucky enough to see northern lights.
  : Check in could have been better. had to call a few times as I never received the code for the key lock. they insisted on only sharing this 2h before checkin time. I had seen this mentioned in other reviews, and adds unnecessary stress. It was also unclear which number chalet we were.

Wonderful
Traveller Type: Traveling as Couple
  : We really, really enjoyed the huge wood-burning sauna, which imparted a lovely aroma to the entire cabin. Dmitry was welcoming and helpful. Most of the windows had screens to keep out the mosquitos, which we very much appreciated.
  : The utensils in the kitchen were not terribly clean. The double bed was narrow for two people. There was no electrical outlet in the bathroom. The wifi was weak and spotty.

Disappointing

  : Location was nice
  : No linen or towels provided even though we sent 2 reminders

  : Set in a quiet place by the river, the cabin was comfortable and it was a delight to find a tv that works.Kitchen was well equipped and beds - although not spectacularly comfortable as too small - were ok. The big windows around the house allowed us to appreciate the view easily. Nice touch.
  : One of the bedrooms was full of flies, and it was not possible to keep them out as one part of the screen was not shutting properly. So, not possible to open that window or to use that room. Another bedroom had the electricity board in it, which made a constant and very annoying humming sound. Sleep was a bit rough for us, using that room. The last bedroom, even though it had a light, it (the light) was so dark it almost did not make sense to switch it on. There was a container full of cigarette buts left in the balcony, and another one in the varanda. Sore sight.The cabin was full of dust, fluff, cob-webs and dead flies. Bathroom not clean. We left it cleaner than we found it, actually, even though the instruction was to leave it as you find it. Oh well. The next guests will be luckier than we were. Communication - after booking - was inexistente. I sent two messages asking about the advertised canoeing and had no reply. Disappointing to our girls, who were looking forward to rent the canoes and go for a ride. Why advertise it if you dont offer the service?Overall, an overpriced (rough) night sleep.
