“Magical stay”
One of the best trips, the room was nice and clean, the staff was extremely friendly and the main building (restaurant and reception) was very cozy during any time of the day! It's a magical place in the middle of nature ✨ we saw aurora borealis 2 times during our visit! We hope we will come back !

“Wish we had booked more than one night”
The perfect stay for us, authentic and untouched unlike a lot of the large resorts nearby. Cosy little cabin with a working fireplace, clean and fully equipped facilities. We just wished we could have stayed longer to take it all in!

“Cute cabins and idyllic surroundings, terrible mattresses”
Loved the location, really idyllic and perfect little cabins in nature. Our children loved the reindeer next to the restaurant. The shared toilets and kitchen were clean. We saw the northern lights right from our cabin and it’s about 25 mins drive to Saariselka where there’s a supermarket which was reasonably priced and well stocked.

In a strategic position easily reachable, but still well isolated for a quiet stay immersed in nature. Very nice the presence of different very well marked paths for all tastes. Given the distance from other services there is a good restaurant service.

Probably the most beautiful and place I have ever stayed at! My cabin was really cozy and warm, staff was welcoming and I even enjoyed sauna in the evening. Would definitely come back again in spring or summer when I would have more daytime to enjoy nature around.
