We want to extend the most heartfelt of thanks to the whole Rafi family for their wonderful hospitality. Jouko, Helena, and Ville were nothing short of exceptional. Between the cozy cabin, most amazing home cooked food, wood fired hot tub, ski rentals, and everything in between we had the most spectacular stay. While there are additional costs for some of the extra it is well worth it to support this family business and the extra touch they put into everything. We found it hard to believe this was only the their second season, it seems like they have been doing this for much longer. Here is to hoping for many more years of Rafi, and to more visits in the future for us as well!

Beautiful and small family-run business. The owners are very welcoming. They made it possible for my husband to rent boots for cross country skiing in a bigger size (which they brought especially for him from Levi) and created a trail for him. Sauna was very nice too! We had a very pleasant stay.

“It was just absolutely magical!”
The hut was just amazing, it was the only hut which makes it just so much more special, because you have the privacy and no lights disturbing you around it we used the hut tub and it was definitely worth it for such an amazing set up and environment 😊 the hosts were also so nice and helpful all the time.

“Beautiful remote stay in the middle of the Finnish Lapland.”
The location is remote and stunning - It was an absolute treat to be surrounded by the beautiful Finnish Lapland, but with all the facilities you needed. The staff are a beautiful couple who are happy to accommodate you in any way. The traditional dinner and breakfast they cooked for us was delicious too!
