Norvamaja with a lake view, sauna and jacuzzi

The house is situated in an enchanting location, overlooking the frozen, snow-covered lake, with a splendid view and surrounded by the tranquillity of the forest, a 15-minute drive from Rovaniemi and 10 minutes from the shopping centres. It is a modern, elegant and refined house, equipped with every comfort and extra amenities (a Jacuzzi with a view and a sauna). Whenever we needed anything, the owners sorted out any difficulties in a flash (for example, a personal problem with the car) and were always very helpful. Having spent a whole month there, I can only regret having to leave and hope to return sooner or later.

Given that I was staying for such a long time, the only thing I missed was a “proper” espresso machine (but then again, I am Italian...)...

Location, Sauna

Sofa bed was uncomfortable but was fine for a few nights

La cabaña es estupenda, fascinante, cudnta con todo lo que necesitas para disfrutar muchismo algo tan lindo como Finlandia en invierno. Algo fascinantes es el lago que esta justo en frente y que nos dio el panorama ideal para ver las auroras boreales casi que esclusivas y privadas. Un ambiente único, su jacuzzi, sauna y privacidad lo hace algo extraordinario.

Aunque tienes toda la privacidad porque esta en medio del bosque, tal vez la posibilidad de tener cortinas lo haria más completo.

Sauna/ jacuzzi great additions Sofa bed very good comfortable Location fabulous as not too far from attractions but felt so remote and authentic

Beautiful setting that will stay with us forever. Kids loved the back garden to play in, and sitting in the jacuzzi as the snow fell was very special.

A little tricky to find but the snow storm didn't help! A few extra hooks around the place would be very helpful as storage space is at a premium. A note in the guide about solving the E02 problem with the dishwasher would have been good, surely we can't be the first people to accidentally turn off its water supply.

Like most places in Rovaniemi the location with the snow was nice.

This was not a comfortable stay at all and we checked out 2 days early. Firstly the location is not private so do not be fooled by the photographs. The place is TINY and we found it cold inside as there are instructions not to turn the heat up and it was fixed at 23.5 which is just too cold in that environment and the only place we have ever stayed with no log fire. The furniture is very cheap and uncomfortable certainly not suitable for adults as even the children found it difficult to stay there. The sofa bed is not suitable for anyone to sleep as there are NO curtains for any type of privacy which was very strange to see guests walking outside and children playing when they can see straight into your sleeping area. The smoke house etc are all communal for other people to use so if you are thinking this is an ideal spot for isolation you will be disappointed. I wish I had read the reviews before booking as I can see quite a few people have mentioned these exact problems. We are frequent visitors to the area and we have loved all of the other places but we had to check out early and book elsewhere as this was so uncomfortable and we didnt want to spoil the holiday for the kids. The hosts took over 1 day to reply to this complaint and replied that they do not advertise the house with curtains - I have never thought to ever ask any accommodation if they provided privacy in a sleeping area. they also responded that they cannot stop people from wandering around a communal area - I think they should be more clear in their description of the place as I feel totally ripped off having paid nearly £900 and having to check out.

Fantastic! Overdelivered our expectations!

Die bed plankets where a littlebit cheap and electric 👌. Except from that everything else 10/10

The cabin feels like something out of a fairytale, nestled in the forest by the lake. The jacuzzi and sauna were always warm and inviting. We truly loved our stay — it felt like being in another world.
