Guest Reviews

• Jessica (9/5): -
• Sam (10/5): - We had a fantastic stay here whilst we did not have the luck of visibility on our side to see the northern lights through the clouds we still had an experience that money can’t buy. The location is so peaceful, surrounded by woodland and snow. We were lucky to see two deers walk by on the snow. The cabin is cosy but spacious it has everything you would need. We made full use of the cooking facilities, the sauna and the log fire. The hosts, Henri & Ellinoora are the best hosts we’ve ever had - it’s the little touches that make the biggest difference (beers, thoughtfulness, regular toilet cleans) they are so welcoming and accommodating even supporting with transport as we did not have a car - to/from the airport for a very reasonable fee considering it’s their time as well as the transport! We will 100% be back again even if we didn’t get lucky again for the northern lights this stay is an experience of pure peace being able to sit in nature with your thoughts is very special. Thank you :)

• Jinming (9/5): The owner was a couple who were very nice and welcome - Nice and quiet. The view is splendid. The day was cloudy. It was not lucky to see northern lights.
• Marion (9/5): -
• Carol (8/5): Loved the cabin sauna experience - Location, Coziness, Private sauna and private fire pit The door was very sticky
• Monish (10/5): - Location, cozy cabin, window to view northern lights
• Davide (10/5): - Semplicemente tutto!!! Location immersa nella foresta vista lago. Ottima posizione per chi si vuole immergere nella natura stando fuori città. Contesto rigenerante e rilassante,con tanto di sauna e barbecue e nella cabina a disposizione pure un camino! Tutti i comfort necessari per vivere al meglio questa esperienza! Lo consiglio vivamente di andare ad alloggiare almeno una volta nella vita perché non ve ne pentirete! Staff super disponibili e gentili,ci hanno fatto sentire come a casa!! Grazie di tutto!
• Ana Claudia (10/5): Cabana e anfitriões Eli e Henri são um doce!! Simpáticos e prestativos dmais… lugar incrível - Tudo Nada
• Gulcin (10/5): -
• Natasha (6/5): Convenient for the airport, very basic otherwise (but awesome sauna) - The location was good and the sauna was amazing. It was also very convenient for flying out the next day, in particular because we already had a car. The hosts were responsive, kind and easy to reach. It was the most expensive place we stayed in the whole of Lapland and also the least well-equipped. There was no view to speak of - though I get that the aurora is hit-or-miss - but between that and the fact that the kitchen was essentially just a hot plate, a single pan and paper plates, and the fact that the other cabin was about 2 feet away (so very little privacy to speak of), it was a bit of a let-down compared to the pictures and reviews.
• Amelia (10/5): - The cabin was very cosy and perfectly equipped with everything one might need. Comfortable bed, clean and tidy. We enjoyed the chimney and sauna, but also the wonderful views on the lake. The cabin is small but we knew that and found it very cosy. If you have 2 suitcases than those can stand and have them open 1 at the time to fit the space.
• Altynay (10/5): - Our stay at the cabin was wonderful. Henri and Ellinoora are the kindest and most attentive hosts. The cabin itself is beautifully located, and it felt like a small winter wonderland. We managed to see the Aurora on both nights of our stay there. The sauna at the cabin was a great treat after staying outside at night for the Aurora. We definitely recommend the cabin. everything was great
• Hung Wei (9/5): 有機會我還是會再來的 - 麻雀雖小 五臟俱全，還有看到極光，桑拿室也很棒，暖爐木材供應充足 隔壁間的住宿，室外光開的太亮，影響我們看極光
• Marián (10/5): anfitrión de 10, inmejorable. - El anfitrión y las vistas de la casa. Merece la pena. Salir cuesta arriba con tanta nieve
• Tim (10/5): Good size for a short stay! - We managed to see the northern lights!! Fantastic place to do so.
• Eva (10/5): Komfortní tiny house uprostřed lesů - Velmi útulný (a velmi malý) apartmán - tiny house. Komunikace s pronajímateli byla od prvního momentu naprosto perfektní prostřednictvím zpráv v Booking aplikaci, odpověděli na všechny otázky, zejména dobře poradili ohledně cesty k domku - v navigacích se totiž zobrazuje chybně. Cesta byla velmi dobře označena, s ničím nakonec nebyl problém. Domeček je maličký, jako pro panenky, ale pro dva lidi je tam místa dost. Vybavení je jako v karavanu - kazetové WC a mini kuchyňka s varnou konvicí a indukčním vařičem. Vše čisté a účelně zařízené, postel pohodlná, měkčí matrace se dvěma různými polštáři. V obývacím prostoru je bezproblémové elektrické vytápění a krb, pokud by se někdo chtěl dívat do plamenů. Byl pro nás připraven výběr různých dobrot, instantní káva a čajové sáčky. Sauna s kamny na dřevo je perfektní, k dispozici byl dostatek připravených polínek pro každodenní saunování. Prostředí lesa, který chatku obklopuje, je kouzelné. Noční výhled na polární záři nezapomenutelný. Celkově opravdu úžasný pobyt, kde jsme si dokonale odpočinuli. Velmi ráda toto ubytování doporučuji. Je nutné stále mít pod dohledem klíč od vchodu, pokud si zabouchnete dveře, nepůjdou otevřít. V domku jsou ohledně toho upozornění a také nám to připomněla ubytovatelka. Řešili jsme to tak, že při saunování nebo chození kolem domku jsme klíč nechávali zastrčený zvenku v zámku. Toto není problém, jen něco, na co si dát případně pozor.

• Laura (10/5): -
• Sam (10/5): - So comfortable, lovely furnishings and touches to make everything awesome. Really clear instructions on everything from the sauna use to fire and getting there. Would have been incredible without seeing the northern lights. Just happened to make it even more special that I did on both nights. Nothing! Perfect
• Isabella (10/5): -
• Yıldırım Kaan (10/5): Ausgezeichnetes Erlebnis. Perfekt für Auszeit. Sehr nette Gastgeber. - Sehr gute Ausstattung, trotz wenigem Platz ist alles mehr als vorhanden. Lage exzellent, um die Natur zu genießen und die Polarlichter zu beobachten. Die Sauna war sehr authentisch. Eigentlich gar nichts negatives. Die Toilette ist Camping-Style, jedoch sehr sauber und ausreichend. Nach 2 Tagen musste sie entleert werden, dafür kam Henri und kümmerte sich darum.
• Andrea (10/5): Caseta apartada i molt acollidora - Caseta apartada amb vistes espectaculars. Es molt comode i acollidora. El host va ser molt amable. Nosaltres no vam tenir sort amb el temps perque estava molt nublat, però es un molt bon lloc per veure les auroras. Ho recomanem 100%.
• lucy (10/5): - very warm, comfy, nice little getaway the generator is right next to the bed so you can hear it sometimes but not a major issue
• Meyer (10/5): -
• Gessica (10/5): -
• Sven (10/5): Wundervoll! - Super Aufenthalt, alles war einfach perfekt. Ein rundum gelungener Aufenthalt, absolut empfehlenswert. Wir hatten eine wunderschöne Zeit, jederzeit wieder! Herzliche Gastfreundschaft und eine tolle Atmosphäre. Toller Ort um die Nordlichter Perfekt zu sehen.
• Marco (10/5): Excellent cabin with sauna - Location bellissima, è una cabina (piccola ma con ogni comfort), sauna a legna davvero comoda e bella, si può anche uscire sulla neve dopo la sauna perché ci sono solo 2 cabine e poi un enorme lago ghiacciato. Non abbiamo visto l'aurora perché è calata la nebbia ma la location sì presta sicuramente. Caminetto comodissimo, si accende subito. Il bagno è essenziale, la doccia è in sauna ma comoda. L'host è stato gentilissimo, ci ha aggiunto un microonde su richiesta per cucinare essendo capodanno. Ma la cucina è ben fornita di tutto. Offrono anche un servizio di Transfer (stesso prezzo di Uber) con un 9 posti per cui molto comodo. Una delle due cabina non ha la sauna in camera ma è la porta accanto, però questo rende la sauna più efficace perché c'è il contrasto freddo/caldo.

• Christophe (10/5): Bien accueillis, raffiné et vue sur le lac exceptionnelle…à ne pas louper! - La vue incroyable, les aurores boréales et toutes les attentions de notre hôte. La lumière extérieure de la cabine voisine, qui restait allumée pendant les aurores boréales. Il serait bien qu’elle s’éteigne automatiquement à minuit?
• Andre (7/5): Tolle Lage, aber ambitionierter Preis. - Super Lage, tolle holzbefeuerte Sauna WC ist wirklich nur Campingniveau und WC-Spülung war zuerst eingefroren, Mangel wurde aber vom Eigentümer beseitigt.
• Rayan (10/5): -
• Kieran (10/5): The Perfect Lapland Winter Escape - This cabin was honestly amazing. It’s right in the middle of the Finnish forest, looking out over a frozen lake, and it’s so quiet and peaceful. Inside was perfect for the cold, it had a double bed, plenty of heating, and the sauna was ideal after being outside in the freezing temperatures. Henri and Ellinoora were genuinely brilliant hosts. They picked us up and dropped us off anywhere we needed for a small fee, which saved us loads on taxis. They helped us set up the fire and even gave us marshmallows, beers and sledges to use. They were just really lovely people. Best cabin I’ve ever stayed in, best place I’ve ever visited, and I’ll definitely be back.
• felipe (10/5): - A cabana é espetacular ! De frente para o lago e no meio da floresta . Visão ampla para a aurora boreal que está sempre no céu .O espaço é pequeno mas aconchegante , a sauna é ótima . A cabana é bem equipada com utensílios para cozinhar . O lugar é ideal para relaxar e curtir o verdadeiro espírito da Lapônia. Tem que ter carro senão fica inviável e fazer compras antes de ir ,pois nao tem nada próximo . O suprimento de água é limitado ,pois não tem rede e o reservatório da pia é pequeno . Dá um certo trabalho mas faz parte da aventura e nao é um problema .
• Jana (10/5): - Perfect place in the nature. Nice cabin and sauna and very kind owner. We really enjoyed our stay.
• Fernández Lebrusán (10/5): -
• Mahpara (10/5): A fantastic experience - The owners of the cabin were so accommodating. A very simple way of living but it was so cosy! In the beautiful snowy forest. It was like being surrounded by a winter wonderland. The sauna was amazing and the fire place was also so lovely. Perfect for the cold weather we experienced. The cabin was very warm for 2 days once heated. We saw the most amazing northern lights over the lake. It’s a small super comfy cabin. Only half hour away from the city. I would book again. No running water but it’s okay. Once you get used to it it’s not so bad.
• Carmen (10/5): Para repetir !! Super recomendable - Espectacular !!! Los anfitriones muy atentos en todo momento. Impecable el lugar , silencioso, agradable. .. todo lo que pueda decir se queda corto !!!! El alrededor todo de los árboles nevados increíble … lago enfrente en nuestro caso estaba nevado y estaba espectacular !! Vimos desde la cama las auroras boreales y el cielo estrellado !!!! Totalmente recomendable , experiencia única Nada
• Diana-Maria (8/5): -
• Ugo (8/5): Agréable cabane retirée de la ville en bord de lac - Emplacement calme et retiré, devant un lac. De quoi faire un feu en extérieur et un sauna en intérieur. Logement bien chauffé. Coin cuisine assez limité et toilettes chimiques.
• Fagner (10/5): - Tudo foi top! A cabana é super confortavel e limpa, totalmente equipada. E o lugar é incrivel.
• Alexander (9/5): - Ein wunderschönes Plätzchen weit weg von der Zivilisation, perfekt geeignet, um sich vom Alltag zu erholen und zu erden. Die Natur ist atemberaubend und die Polarlichter wunderbar, um spirituell über sich selbst und das große Leben nachzudenken. Der Kontakt mit den Eigentümern war stets freundlich und reibungslos. Besonders ihre gute Informationsbereitstellung sowie die ausgesprochen zuvorkommende Art sind hervorzuheben. Diese Wohnmobile bzw. Mikrohäuser sind auf einen weitgehend spartanischen Urlaubsstil ausgelegt. Wem das nicht gefällt, sollte lieber eine feste Unterkunft auswählen.
• Miriam (10/5): Cien por cien recomendable - Ubicación excelente, vistas impresionantes, tranquilidad suprema. Totalmente recomendable. La cabaña totalmente equipada, todo nuevo, perfecto. Sauna privada. Nada
• timoksanen (9/5): Perfect pitstop with nice view of auroras - Cozy little trailer with the needed amenities. It was nice to make a fire and barbecue some sausages while watching the northern lights in the yard. Sauna topped of the night. Some more space would have been could if staying longer
