Northern Lights Resort & Spa

Tobi, Lyn, and the rest of the NLR crew did an absolutely phenomenal job with every aspect of our trip. Not a single detail was overlooked during the course of our stay. The rooms were all well-appointed, the meals were top-notch, and the hospitality was outstanding. The nightly bonfires were so much fun and a great way to keep warm while waiting for the lights to appear in the sky. Book early to ensure you get your prefered dates and enjoy your trip to the Northern Lights Resort!

Overall, I had a great experience and a very comfortable stay. This small resort offers European-style hospitality run by the sweet and hardworking couple, Lynn and Tobi. While it's not upscale or luxurious, it's certainly of very good European quality. They met my expectations and exceeded them in some areas. The chalet was spacious and impeccably clean, with snow-white towels and spotless floors. Chef James' meals were delicious and creative. The included meals were the ideal amount for me, although possibly not enough for those accustomed to North American hospitality. The staff was friendly and accommodating, notably Patrick, Dorothy, Remi, and Ollie, who went above and beyond. My favorite was Ollie (I hope I spelled the name correctly). She went the extra mile to please during meal times and her nighttime Aurora hunting guidance was exceptional. Her enthusiasm and helpfulness in setting up my phone for photos, using a tripod, and offering to take pictures of guests all night were impressive. Although did give a perfect score, there is always room for improvement. Firstly, the bed mattress was too soft, affecting my sleep. I realize it's not something you can choose, but I was caught off guard as a frequent traveler who rarely encounters this issue in hotels worldwide. Secondly, the airport transfer had the latest option at 10 am. Given our flight was at 5:30 pm, I felt rushed out of the resort. They offered a city drop-off, but there wasn't much to do in the city for six hours. This was extremely inconvenient, especially for warm-weather guests who had to carry warm clothing and repack it before boarding. I wish they allowed us to stay on the grounds or offered a short city museum tour with lunch before heading to the airport. Nonetheless, I enjoyed the experience and would recommend it.

We can't say enough about our time at this resort. The glass cabin and pristine surroundings were beautiful. The food is fantastic! Massage was great and experiences exceptional. But most importantly was the service provided by Tobi, Lynn and their team. Uli and Patrick were always smiling. Richard was so knowledgeable and Dorothy a delight as she shared a fire with us every night, braving the cold. Lastly, the Northern Lights were unbelievable! A dream come true. They started slow and then the sky just exploded! So amazing and beautiful.

We had a wonderful time at the resort. The food was amazing and the accommodations were very comfortable. The activities were well planned. We enjoyed visiting the Hot Springs but the dogsledding was definitely the highlight. We saw the lights three of the nights. We did massages and utilized the sauna and both wee wonderful. The staff went above and beyond to make our visit special. Thanks to Juan, Dorothy, Richard and Patrick, all exceptional!

Outstanding resort and SPA! Staff always went above and beyond expectations. All meals were freshly made and presented; we ate like royalty at every meal. Every need was anticipated by the staff and handled in class. Bonfires each night were a highlight.

Full disclosure, I want to give the team (yes I want to acknowledge the team) and the place 5 stars, but I selfishly hate doing so, knowing the popularity will soar and will thus be booked up when I am ready to come back! My husband wanted to see the Northern Lights and at first I looked into a cruise, but found the resort was an option. So glad I did it! Comfortable, beautiful, serene. This was the perfect vacation. Shout out to Toby, Lynn, Richard, Patrick, Reimi, and Uli. The chefs and all the "behind the scenes" staff we didn't meet. Well-oiled machine, without rigidity. Hugs to Uli!!!! Thanks for a memorable experience!!!!!
