Such fun even on non northern lights season. Watched horses all night long. Perfect restaurant down the way called The Barn! Divine. Get the fish special. Travelled with two other couples. Our heater didn’t work, but both of theirs did. Was perfect for a fun experience different from a hotel room. Would do it again even solo for the serenity!

Igloo was a really cool unique experience. What stood out was the location and the size of the washroom. It was much bigger than I expected. Very clean. I think the only feedback I have is that it would be nice to have a cover for the roof. No cover on the roof sounds great for Aurora but during summers - the sun sets at 12 am and rises at 3 am. So there is no blackout sky. Early in the morning; the sun comes directly into the room and it gets very annoying because there is no way to avoid it. The room also gets very hot because of this. But that being said it was a good stay and what made it special was we got to see the midnight sun with horses right next to our igloo.
