“We were picked up on time at our Airbnb by Egor who drove us directly to the farm. On arrival, there was a big group of people already waiting in line to go on the sleigh ride, so we had time to pat the huskies that weren't on the sleigh ride first. The wait wasn't long and before we knew it, we were on the sleigh! The ride is short but a lot of fun! We got to pat and take pictures with these huskies too before we went to a lodge closeby. It was very cosy and had a fireplace where everyone could sit around. We were served cookies…”
