Lutsen – Dvalarstaðir

Renee Bandaríkin

Our family of 5 often chooses properties with kitchens, so I usually bring half my kitchen(pan,spatulas, tongs, rice maker, whatever I feel I’ll need for the meal plan I arrange) because I have never found a kitchen stocked with anything more than the cheap, bare minimum essentials. THIS property had it all covered! It was fully stocked with quality items(sharp knives, All clad pans, etc). I was impressed! The beds felt new and very comfortable. The a\c worked well, keeping our loft cool and the downstairs bedrooms extra cool… sufficient blankets were provided to keep our downstairs dwellers cozy. And the pillows… this place is fully stocked if you love pillows like we do. Our cabin was an end unit with a wrap around deck stocked with plenty of furniture to enjoy outside time and a decent grill to cook on. The deck has no stairs, so it felt safe from critters at night. We ate dinner on the deck each night and had deer walking under and around us. We had a view was of the sunset, mountain, and down one of the black diamond runs. Many activities were available each day, for free or a small fee depending on which one. A giant bonfire and what we called Sasquatch Ladder Ball were some evening activities we enjoyed at the property. We will definitely return to this property in the winter for skiing!
