“Beautiful spacious villa with gorgeous sauna”
A beautiful and huge house with a stunning outlook. We arrived after staying in a lovely but cosy Aurora cottage and revelled in the space. It easily fit 4-6. The views were beautiful from every room, the bathrooms great and the sauna was incredible. The beds were comfortable. Easy walk to a great restaurant (Kuksa)

“Absolutely incredible”
The location of the villa is perfect, at the top of Saariselka with an incredible view, every window is like looking out at a snow globe and it is in such a quiet and tranquil location. Sleds provided which our little one loves riding in when we walked into town or to the near by sledding slope. The sauna is perfect for winding down in the evenings. Natascha could not have been more helpful, she arranged an airport shuttle too and from Ivalo airport directly to the villa, made sure the food and drink we wanted was there on arrival and even saved the day when our phones wouldn’t let us call a taxi and did that for us.

“Beautiful cosy house in magical Saariselkä with an awesome Sauna!”
Great host who met us on arrival. The house is wonderfully cosy, everything needed in the kitchen. Brilliant large sauna with access to the terrace to cool off in the cold with a beer! 5 minute drive down the hill to the town / Northern Lights village for the activities and 5 minutes drive up to the top of the fell for the ski resort. Saw the aurora from the terrace on the final night. We loved our stay! Kiitos !

“Beautiful, peaceful, cosy and an exceptional experience.”
The villa simply exceeded our expectations. The owner / contact could not do enough to help us - everything we asked was sorted. The villa has every amenity you would need and is so cosy and beautiful. The pictures don't do it justice. We loved it for our 4 nights visiting in December 2024. Perfectly located as well. We would definitely like to visit again.

“Authentic Finnish stay, withn easy reach of tourist centre of Saariselka”
Lovely spacious lodge, in the middle of residential area, which wasn't touristy or commercial at all. Great place for families. Though it was a 2mile walk from village centre. Which we didn't mind, because we love walking. Just put the kids in sleighs and pulled them along. Lovely evening strolls back to the lodge. Used to get the ski bus into village from laanila, which is just 900m down the road.

“Winter Wonderland”
We absolutely loved this villa. Natasha was the most wonderful host. Meeting us past 11pm for a late check in, saving us when we locked ourselves out and that's before we get on to the actual villa. It was in a perfect location, close to the village whilst feeling remote too. It was exceptionally well equipped with kitchen utensils, linens etc. The sauna was great and the dryer for snowy clothes a god send!

“Beautiful, clean, calm & private accommodation”
It was private, spacious and spotlessly clean. Great location, 5 mins drive out of town. There is a car port to stop the car getting too covered in snow and a useful porch. The Sauna and shower area was great. Only 25 mins from Ivalo airport! The host Natasha was wonderful and let us in and showed us round. They left present for my daughter under the Xmas tree which was a lovely touch! We loved it and will be back!
