Beautiful location
Beautiful location and wonderful spacious house. Owner was very great at communicating with us and even sent me information about potential auroras that may occur. They were always very responsive to any questions I had. I also had the opportunity to learn about the history of the house, which to me is always very interesting! Decor is very warm and cute!
