"We really enjoyed our stay at the Bubble. It was easy to check in and there was such a cute well lit path marked to our very private bubble clearing the trees. Though the sky didn't cooperate with the Northern Lights the private wooded scenery around the Bubble (even in the rain) made for a lovely view. Staying in the Bubble was a really fun and very cozy, comfortable experience."
