It''s a beautiful home in Swedish/Scandinavian style, very cozy and cute! The tall stairs might be a problem for some people, so if you have trouble going up multiple stairs, this is not a place for you. We also had a problem with sauna (and that was the main reason why we booked this place), the breaker kept going off, so we we were only able to use it one day out of three. Also, the balcony, which is really nice to have breakfast on and just to sit on while somebody is grilling, was very dirty, unswept, with all furniture covered, which seemed like for very long. I had to sweep it and clean it all myself, so that we could use it. It also stated that it sleeps six people, but there was only enough bedding for two full-size beds. When I asked for separate bedding for my son, I was told that there are none. (I later found some in the laundry room myself). Otherwise, I love the style of the home, comfortable beds, and the kitchen was great!

What a sweet and lovely cabin. More than enough space for 2 people and I can see it working nicely for their max capacity of 6. Has everything you need with the added bonus of being thoughtfully decorated - classy and homey. Walkable to the ski lifts. Quiet and serene. Perfect little escape and I look forward to coming back.
