Uthlid Cottages
We arrived very late, they left instructions on the reception window and a message here. Very nice to walk into a warm cabin and the hot tub. Plenty of kitchen equipment. Fast wifi, clean bathroom etc. Check out as easy as the check in. Will be back in the summer for sure and stay here

South Central Apartments
Very nice apartments. Parking right in front of the apartment. Very clean. Indivudual washrooms so not sharing washrooms with other apartments. Very spacious inside. And many amenities in the kitchen like pots and pans to cook if you want, and a kettle etc. Highly recommend this apartment!!
