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.

Excellent stay in Bethel
Scott and Gerry were very kind and accommodating. They took me around town and had lots of good ideas about where to eat or stay etc.

10/10 Exceptional

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!
