We had an amazing time at the Aurora! The property was beautiful and even more spectacular than the photos showed. The heated floors were a lovely perk. The washer and dryer were very large and made laundry easy for a large group. The sunsets and Aurora were incredible from the back deck. We would absolutely love to stay again!
