Mikami Guest House could not ask for a better location, in Qasigiannguit, Greenland. The four cottages have a cosy and homely atmosphere, a wonderful base to explore the charming town and the untouched wilderness.
In western Greenland, on the southeastern shores of Disko Bay, you will find Qasigiannguit, a small and charming town with around 1,000 residents. The peaceful town is surrounded by stunning glaciers and majestic fjords. The icy waters of Disko Bay are home to whales, which can be spotted from mid-summer to autumn. And Mikami Guest House is the perfect place to use as a base when visiting Qasigiannguit.
“My husband and I currently have four cottages in the town with a fifth one coming. The most important thing for us is that our guests enjoy their stay – we want them to feel at home,” smiles Laila Mikaelsen, owner of Mikami Guest House. When stepping into the cottages, you instantly feel welcomed and cared for by the Mikaelsen family. Laila and Andreas will provide you with a map of the area and the couple will happily share their tips for Qasigiannguit.
No matter which of the Mikami cottages you stay in, you will be able to explore the Arctic wilderness. From hiking trails and whale spotting to trout catching by hand in rivers and hunting – this little gem of a town truly is the perfect spot for nature lovers.
Mikami Guest House is a local family owned business. It currently has four cottages in Qasigiannguit with a fifth coming. You can book through the website or through Airbnb.
