Natural winter darkness, with minimal artificial outdoor lights, allows visual of stars - and occasionally the Northern Lights (Aurea Borealis).
In June-July, it never gets dark, you can read book indoors without artificial light on, (if you don't pull the blinds over windows).

I will welcome you in person, as I live close by. I am happy to help anytime, e.g. with the sauna stove, but will definetly give you all privacy you wish, during the stay.
Please give me a hint if you assume to arrive very early/ noonish/ midnightish, in the initial message (of course I will be open for changes, though)!
