Scott was very accommodating from the moment I booked online. He wanted to know what food I liked?! I mean who does that?! Just great. Such a cool experience to hear about the local aspects of Bethel as you are traveling. Also, the space is clean, homey (if that's a word?) and overall very comfortable. Scott makes you feel at home. Even picked me up and dropped me off at the airport. Overall, I would stay here again. I actually stopped back on my way from Mekoryuk and spent another night here. Highly Recommend!

Caution Igloo of Enlightenment Unresponsive

I did not stay at Igloo of Enlightenment because the host did not meet me per the booking instructions, also the host did not return my calls or provide alternate check-in instructions. Additionally, all hotels in the town were fully booked for the week and an alternative lodging was unavailable. As a result, I cancelled my Business trip and return home the same day cutting a three day trip to one day.
