Ylläshilla Cottage

The cabin was absolutely beautiful! The location is idyllic- close to restaurants but secluded enough that we spent a day sledging in the snow around the property. It was really peaceful and quiet. The interior was stunning - the lighting and tasteful Christmas decorations made us feel really Christmassy. The kitchen was well equipped and the bedrooms were cosy. We loved the TV room upstairs which has a big TV and plenty of bean bags and blankets.

The best accommodation for a Christmas feeling 😍

The cabin was exceptional! it looked amazing, was comfortable and well-equipped.

We got locked out so more than one set of keys would help so there is always one in the locked box. But there was nothing negative about the cabin.

We are travelling in a group of 8 people and this cottage is PERFECT! If you want a rustic cottage, this completely fits the bill. 1. Nicola and Tanja were very accommodating and quick to response. While early check-in is a case by case basis depending if there are guests prior us, Tanja prioritised the cleaning for us. And the cottage was spotless! I had a few questions initially and they were quick to respond. 2. The cottage had everything well stocked up. Kitchen rolls, dishwashing liquid, fire starter etc. All utensils and cutlery are very well stocked and you have very adequate cooking equipment to cook up a nice meal. 3. There is one shower room but it’s not a problem for 8 of us. Truth is, in a big group like this, not everyone has the same habit to shower at the same time so it wasn’t an issue for us. The shower room is big and spacious and water power and heat is nice! The sauna is right beside the shower area and sauna works brilliantly! 4. Lots of fun things to do. Nicola provided sleds and 2 new fat bikes so all of us were having a great time playing around outside the house. 5. Floor is very nicely heated and the whole house has lots of heating system. 6. Nicola is very thoughtful to provide a mop at the front door so that we can mop up when we enter with our snowy boots. It’s all these little things! Love the fairy lights as well. By the way, there is a good dryer too. 7. It’s a very short drive to the ski resort and town centre. About 5 to 10 mins only. This place can nicely fit 10 people. This cottage is just beyond our expectation and I will definitely book this again if I’m back in Lapland. The cottage completely fulfilled my dream of being in a winter wonderland.

Nothing!

Stunning location, beautiful views and very quiet. Beautiful walk through the woods to the main town about 20-30 mins depending on weather. Car is ideal though if possible but not essential. Able to do everything we wanted without. The house is great everything you need and more. Upstairs there are 4 single beds, bean bags tv and reading area and a bathroom which the 4 children loved as they had their own huge space with ensuite. Ski bus from town to resort Huskies and reindeer half hour walk - Konijänkkä Santa can visit the cabin - momentswithsanta were incredible Snowmobile hire from the town - snow fun safaris. Ice sauna and lake swimming in town too. Loved every minute! Thank you!
