Skip the Northern Lights Tour - from a Hot Tub

I spent over two years looking for the best place to have an Airbnb in the area, and this was the winning spot! It is less than 20 minutes from the airport. You are in a quiet, peaceful place with over 40 acres of trees and wildlife around. The home is on Murphy Dome which is the best point to see the lights and you can easily see the lights from the comfort of this comfy vacation home. Hunting, fishing, hiking...all walking distance! My car is available for rent as well if you need transport.

Relax on the deck, inhale the fresh sea, active fishing port & town life, or warm-up in the crooked but very cozy & beautiful home that might remind you of the 'Old Village'.
