“Over my expectations, cheap and nice I would love to stay a bit more nights.”
It’s a country cottage surrounded by reindeers, we were very happy with the size of the house, and the sauna was super good!

The hosts are very kind and pleasant. They explained everything in detail about how to check in and were very kind to us. We only rented the house for an overnight stay, so we didn't have time to appreciate the natural beauty. The house has everything you need. I think it's a great option for summer living. the price for Lapland is very good.

Location is absolutely amazing. Driving the last a few kilometers you can feel like in a fairy tale. A small farmstead with reindeers. In winter gorgeous and magic place.

The location is wonderful, much more than I expected and perfect to see the northern light that I really saw the first evening. Thank you for the nice experience, very good lunch, for information received but expecially for the boat trip in the autumn colors. The host is really very kind and tried to help me in every way she could.

“Great stepstone to the national park adventure…”
Traditional wooden barn, with all the luxury you need… Great to have that sauna directly accessible from the shower room. Great restaurant, fantasic traditional lappish food. Very close to the floating piers, where the boating trips take off towards the former gold fields … Worth a trip for a week and daily rides to waterfalls and amazing hiking areas …

“A great cozy cabin with access to nature all around in all seasons.”
The location of Ahkun Tupa is wonderful. There is plenty of beautiful and accessible nature around but not a far drive from a larger town if supplies are needed, etc. It is very convenient and comfortable.

“Ankun Tupa, great!”
Nice location, we were looking at 11 reindeers in a fence. It was a cosy cabin or cottage. The living room has a full equiped kitchen, fridge, watercooker, coffeemachine. All is very clean. There were 4 beds in the living room, you could sleep with 2 adults in 1 bed, but we found that too small. So we slept seperated. There is a sauna, a clean bathroom. You can beautifull walk over the Lemmenjoki River when it is frozen. So silent. Beautiful! And it is dark there, so we could see some Aurora, unless the kp index was very low, 1. The owners do have a restaurant, where you can eat par example a good filled reindeer soup with vegetables, or a salmon salade with a lot vegetables, or the specialty if the chef. For an acceptable price. It all tasted very well. The cottage is near the Lemmenjoki National Park, a great park to hike. There are snowscooters not allowed. The owners were very frienly and cared a lot of their reindeers.

“Ahkun Tupa in Lemmenjoki, top!”
The hostess was very friendly even we csme later than expected. We had a nice cabin even with a sauna. The cabin has it's own kitchen, fridge, microwave, watercooker, coffeemaker, pots, pans, dishes, kitchen utentils. It has toilet, shower and sauna as well. There were 4 beds, but a little bit small. So we decided to sleep separated, than you have a big space. The environment was very great, we have seen a little bit Aurora, unless the kp index was 1. The cottage is well warmed by electric heating. The cottage looks over 11 reindeers in a fence. The rest of the herd reindeers were somewhere in the firest. We had a beautiful hike over the frozen Lemmenjoki river. In the summer you can make boat trips over that river. The owner has a great respect and love for the animals and the forest. I like that very much. So be respectfull for the owners too. Lemmenjoki National Park is nearby, also great to hike, forbidden for a snowscooter. In the restaurant you can eat a great meal or have a delicious soup with reindeer meat. The environment is very quiet and silence.

“Great place to enjoy the beautiful nature of Lapland”
Cozy cabin with everything you need next to the start of the walking routes of the nature reserve, and waking up you could see the reindeer & moose from the window of the cottage. Nice owners taking very good care of their guests.

Very beatiful place at lakeside. Very simple beds but comfortable enough to sleep well. There was malfunction in water system resulting in cut of water supply and shower 50 metres away, but that can happen in -25 degrees.
