“Really recommend here”
We stayed in the birdhouse lodge, and it was perfect. A big window facing the valley side gave us an amazing view. There was a private sauna in the lodge was also a good touch. Room was perfectly clean and bed was big and comfortable. There was a small kitchen but we didn’t use it. In general you can find all you need. The whole environment was great too. Main facility provides a lot activities and info or advice about how to enjoy the stay. The host Lids was extremely friendly and helpful. Thank you for everything during our stay 😊

“Flying over the lakes and forests of Finland from our bed”
The views were magnificent. The bird nests are perfectly oriented towards the sunset over the forest and lakes. Truly stunning. It seems to be a family-run business, which shows in the care they provide and tidiness of the place. Detail we loved: the soft, warm bread for breakfast. Stay at Arctic Giant, you will not regret it! I cannot stress the views enough.

“The view!”
I already reviewed the Luxury Birdhouse since we stayed in both rooms, and I stand by that review, so now I am here just to say that the view from the Birdhouse is absolutely breathtaking!!

“Unforgettable experience”
- the location is amazing, at the top of the hill surrounded by snowy trees and a frozen lanscape - the Luxury Birdhouse is so beautiful and spacious, and the private hot tub is a very nice touch in freezing temperatures - the staff were very friendly and accomodating, I appreciated their flexibility since I had some dietary requests and they fulfilled all of them - the food is delicious, the Giant Soup is probably the best soup we've eaten and the veggie meal I ate for New Year's was fantastic - snowshoes and sleighs are free of charge and there are very beautiful trails around - although it's situated in an isolated area, you can find two well stocked supermarkets, a pharmacy and other basic facilities at about 20 min drive

“Winter Wonderland”
Outdoor hot tub with aurora in the sky was a reward after trip from Helsinki. Sauna is also nice. Electric beds and the outside view from the bedroom is also really nice.

It was one of the MOST AMAZING places I have ever been to! Remote enough, on the top of the mountain and frozen everything -- but the room was equipped with sauna and cosy-looking fireplace. In the morning the host brought us a pot of fresh coffee and invited us to take a tour around the premises. I so wish I could stay longer! This place was truly magical and I cant wait to go back ❤️
