Northern Lights Resort and Spa is fantastic – in every way. My husband and I recently spent four days there to see the Northern Lights, and we were not disappointed: we did see them on our last night. There is no guarantee that you will see them (it’s nature’s call, after all), but even if we would not have had the privilege of seeing them, it would have been worth the trip.
There are accommodations for only 16 guests, two per cabin/chalet. This makes the environment very cozy, friendly, and intimate, but everyone has their own glorious cabin and privacy. We happened to get along great with all of them, which was lucky, I guess, but it could have been that the whole environment just lends itself to everyone getting along and having a nice time.
Besides waiting for the Northern Lights to appear, there is dog-sledding, a trip to a wildlife preserve, hot springs, and on-site, Japanese-style massages and saunas to enjoy. I think the massage I got was the best I have ever gotten. But this cannot be overstated…. the food, food, food was out of this world. Hey, I’m no expert but I think this could easily be a Michelin star restaurant - it was just so good and so consistently good and wonderfully presented. Every single meal.
And finally, the staff…..I can’t say enough nice things about all of them, every single one. I hesitate to name everyone that I remember (what if I forgot to mention someone and then risk making them feel bad); I wish they were my neighbors and friends that I would see at home. Everyone was friendly, kind, accommodating, helpful, and just nice.
We loved it there and want to go back!
