Location, apartment, the owner very kind.

The nature was amazing around the cottage.

Amazing house in an amazing location. House had everything you would need. Ilkka was extremely helpful.

“Great cottage with beautiful view”

We were happy that we found this spacious cottage for 10 people. All the necessary equipments were there, cottage was very clean, combination of sauna and swimming in the lake was amazing! The location was also convenient, just 5 mins drive from the Ivalo airport. The owner We are very much satisfied staying there and recommend this place to everyone!

A superb house near Ivalo - we had a fantastic stay! The house is only a 10 minute drive from the airport (€20 by taxi) and a 10 minute drive from Ivalo where there is a large supermarket and other basic facilities. For a wider selection of restaurants and activities, Saariselkä is only a 20 min drive and hence the house is perfectly situated for everything you need, whilst also being super secluded and quiet. We visited in the winter (Dec/Jan) and it was magical in the snow, with the frozen lake making for a beautiful backdrop! When booking I was hesitant with the airport nearby, but with there only being only a few flights a day and it being far enough away, it really didn't cause any disturbance at all - if anything, it was a more of convenience to be nearby. The facilities in the house were great, with everything you'd need for a short and long stay. There was also a fire and sauna which we didn't use, but all was easy to set up if you so wished. The owner was very responsive and replied quickly whenever we had any questions. We were provided with lots of YouTube videos for how to operate everything - very useful! We were also super lucky during our stay, with the Aurora Borealis flowing straight over the house one evening! The frozen lake and open views made for an exceptional viewing of the lights, if you get lucky. We felt like we had our own private display! A once in a lifetime experience which was enhanced by the location of the house and its situation on the lake. Don't hesitate to book, we had a trip of a lifetime here!

“Autumn Leaf is a place you would want to experience at least once for each season”

It was very well-appointed, clean, toasty inside where it was subzero outside, and the views of the lake were simply amazing. Enjoyed the sauna with the birch leaves in the privacy of our cabin, and we had great fun tobogganing outside. Our host, Ilkka was most hospitable and attentive. Thanks much, Ilkka!

“Amazing cabin, helpful and friendly owner”

We LOVED EVERYTHING! It was the most amazing accomodation we have ever booked and we travel fairly often. The house is huge, has a sauna, aurora viewing balcony, large kitchen and living/dinning room with a fireplace. The view from the house is amazing... you feel very secluded and private, but you're still close to the town... the owner was super friendly and helpful, he showed us how he does ice fishing and he even made me ice swimming hole in the frozen lake as I wanted to try avanto. We will come back for sure!

“spacious and well equipped”

space - 4 actual bedrooms (2 upstairs, 2 downstairs) with a daybed upstairs; large sauna; well equipped kitchen and a dining table with a stunning view of the lake. there is an outside sauna building which we didn't use, BBQ pit available but too many insects currently to enjoy this. can wade into the lake after your sauna, only knee deep in the area in front of the cottage. owner was v responsive, videos are clear in explaining how to use the various facilities.
