Together with a friend I spent a night in Petteri's cottage. It was an incredible experience! It was very cold when we stayed, about -8 Celsius. The beds were comfortable, there were many many candles and matches, and also plenty of wood to make fire. However, although we had a fire burning for about three hours, we didn't manage to increase the temperature to anything above freezing point. In the winter the cabin is not easily heated for a night's stay (and you need a lot of wood). Also, the boat couldn't be used because the lake was frozen, which is something to keep in mind. When we woke up the scenery was amazing as it was snowing and everything looked beautiful. I would most certainly love to come back in spring!

Kuusamo experiencing this cottage in the middle of February was a great experience. Do not disturb the neighbors much. If you do not press the frosts below -5 degrees, very warm sleeping bag and a cabin heating work. I would go again.

We had a great time staying at the cottage for two nights. Petteri was very helpful when we had trouble with the sauna. The descriptions were very clear and helped us guide through finding the key and the cottage itself.

We felt really comfortable in Petteri's hut. The surrondings were magical and cottage had everything what you need. Everything was just like described.

He was very friendly and familiar, took care of the job in style finish.

The days at Petteri's cabin were a great experience. He is always reachable for questions of preparation before, as well as for help and information during the stay. In this time of the year it was still quite cold and it was adventurous to live some days without the daily luxury like electricity and running water, but the cabin contains everything you need to make you a comfortable time. Beautiful place!

We rent Petteri's cabin during the first 12 days of February. It was quite sporty but also exciting to reach the cabin acrossing the forest and the lakes, from the nearest point on the Koskenkyläntie road. In fact, in the mid-winter, the Kokkokoskentie road is unusable because of the snow. Concerning the cabin, there are the basic things to live in (dishes, cloths, blankets, pillows...) but don't forget to bring toilet paper and candles, just in case there are no more remaining. Concerning the weather, the temperature reached -20°C but was mainly about -8°C outside, and 20°C inside thanks to the wood stove. The sauna experience was amazing, especially when we rinse ourselves with the fresh water of the lake. For information, you can easily walk on the lakes at this time of the year, the thickness of the ice is about 40cm, but be careful on the places where there is running water, it could be dangerous. Finally, the snowy environment is just wonderful and so quiet, you only hear your heartbeat !! Unfortunately, there was nobody in the cabins along the other lakes (we were very alone) and we haven't met any animal during our journey. We were expecting to see northern lights but the sky was mainly cloudy, so impossible ! Still a big thank to Petteri who was very reachable and helpful !

This place is the best! In the middle of nowhere, we enjoyed every second of it. It was quite complicated to arrive there, but Petteri warned us before we booked. Petteri was really helpful too! Thanks!

Reijo and his girlfriend are very nice and hospitable,and they provided us detail information that we needed. This cabin is recommended and tidy,and this place also can see northern light.

Anna and Reijo's timberhouse is nice and cozy and is very well equipped. It is sorrounded by nature and is well located to reach the center of Ivalo in a few minutes (by car). Anna was a helpful, kind and friendly host, she lives right next door and is always available to help you out. Thank you for the great stay! Kiitos :)

I had such a wonderful time at the cabin! I met Anna when I arrived and she's kind, intelligent, and a lovely host. She was so helpful giving me travel advice and tips about getting around. The cabin is very cozy and it was wonderful to enjoy the quiet!

Our stay with Anna and Reijo was great. Our questions before and during the stay were always answered quickly. We felt very comfortable, and the two are great hosts. The small cabin is very cozy and from there you can directly start your outdoor pursuits. For example, we once borrowed snowshoes from Anna and Reijo. On foot you can also reach the center of Ivalo. If you plan trips with a further distance, a car is recommended. To relax we have often used the sauna, which is located along with the shower in the main house. Especially great was that Anna has given us about it, as it has started one evening with the northern lights. We can really recommend a stay at Anna and Reijo very.

Anna and Reijo are very helpful, friendly and accommodating. The accommodation was clean and well furnished.

This little house is simply perfect even for a family (two adults and two children). We enjoyed the atmosphere, especially the silence here. The cabin is well equipped, there is everything you need. It was great to go to sauna. Reijo and Anna are two of the finest people I met. They are great hosts, friendly and helpful. We would like to come here again as soon as possible. Ja sinulle, Reijo: Luultavasti minä olen jo kuollut. Mutta koska olin hyvä tyttö (:)), minä olen paratiisissa nyt - täällä! Kiitos!

Reijo and Anna are simply amazing! They are super nice and friendly. Thanks to them we did one of our most beautiful experience riding horses in the forest and we saw the Aurora Borealis too. The apartment is super clean and comfortable, there's everything you need! We really recommend them!!

Reijo is a very kind host. The cabin was well prepared (firewood, warm, a lot of dishes) and clean. It was warm, cosy and very quiet. We enjoyed our stay very much!

The cottage was very good and everything worked well. Minna kept in touch and made sure that we got all the necessary information and instructions.

The cottage of Minna Emilia was our first experience with airbnb and she made it worth. The cottage was excellent not only for us as a couple travelling trough Lapland but also for friends who are going on a skiholiday or a family who wants rest and still has the place to do a lot of winter activities. Well Minna we never had the chance to actually meet but even you were 400km away, you were close by. If we had questions about the house or about activities, you made the solution, what a service!!! Also the tourist centre of kristiina comes in very handy who arranges the keys and the activities you wanna do. So if you ever search a cosy, warm and up to date cottage in the middle of a lappi forest not to far from ski piste, you'll have to try the cottage of Minna Emilia at Kittila. Thanks for everything Minna and send our regards to Hannu and Pauliina from allhuskies who gave us a nice day with the dogs. Tell them I'll be back for the races

it was an unforgettable trip! the house was warm and cozy and the kitchen was perfect! perfect place to stay if ur driving otherwise it's far from any sort of public transport!

Hi, loved this place, it was everything we dreamed of. Everything was there to make our stay really comfortable. Amazing house in an amazing location. Thanks for a great stay.

Minna's cottage is absolutely wonderful! My wife and I stayed for a week and it's brilliantly located to go skiing and get to and from Levi central. The cabin itself is an incredibly relaxing place and is really well kitted out. Minna was so helpful as well in the run up to the holiday and when we had a couple of questions during the week itself. We will definitely be recommending Minna's cabin to friends and family.

Secluded location so during winter I suppose we are the only one unit occupied among the few cabins there. Must have a car (we drove). Communication with minna has been prompt and timely. Just slight arrangement to go to the office beside Levi tourist information center at available timing to collect the keys and pay for the rental of the bedsheets and towels (so please do factor this in if this lodging is your first stop in Levi. No issue for us as we transited from other lodging in Levi to here). Quiet environment and I suppose summer month this place would be more lively. For norther lights, do spend a bit and dine at the restaurant at Levin Iglut just nearby. You might get lucky during the dinner session.

Minna's cabin has everything you need for an active ski holiday at Levi. It is clean and warm. A car is a must as the ski bus only goes twice a day from the area, additionally the bus stop is pretty far (around 1 km).

Minna Emilia, You have a lovely cottage and it's been an honor to spend 2 nights there. All was perfect and even better than expected. The only thing that you are not able to manage is the snow. We can imagine how beautifull it must be when the temperature is lower and the snow presents in Levi and all around your cottage. Erika has left a french testimonial on your "souvenir book" or "golden book" as we call it in France (you can try to translate via (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) translate). Once again, a big thank you for your trust and a big congratulation for this nice residence.

very nice and traditional chalet. Lost in nature, a haven of peace.

Anneli is a great host. She waited for us for over an hour to give us the keys and the house is in great shape. The house has anything you need from sauna to a great coffee maker. Thanks Anneli for letting us stay in your house!

Anneli's place is excellent. Very clean, warm, cosy and welcoming, having all the equipment that one could need. The place is easily accessible by car - super location for the families and couples.

thanks Anneli and your husband for all friendly reminder and suck beautiful house with lake side view. we can easily see the aurora from your 2nd floor and enjoy the beautiful view in the morning by simply look outside the window all other accessariea are Very good, everything clean and user friendly. we love the place here and 100% recommend our friendd to come if they drive in finland

The communication with the hosts was outstanding. we stopped over email of the arrival contact - of Dortan on Telefeon / Whats App. Check in was excellent because the owners were waiting in the house to us. A small introduction to the use of the stove, the sauna, etc. carried out directly, friendly, open and warm. The cottage itself is an absolute dream! Equipped with everything you could want is wonderfully situated on a river. Tranquility, peace and solitude can be found easily, since the larger radius no fault can be found. The nearby road is not a problem, since one of their not notice. The seclusion makes a once really come to rest and then if this is still in such a beautiful house, just can not ask for more! Absolute travel recommendation!

Wonderful stay! Anneli was very friendly and helpful with everything and thought of everything for our kids and us. Very enjoyable stay

Warm welcome - even though we arrived late. Anneli very kindly left us some breakfast too. House was clean warm and cozy. The sauna was a highlight. And beautiful surroundings.

First I would like to highlight the simple and rapid booking positive. On arrival at the cottage, we were warmly welcomed by Anneli and her husband and the option of being able to access their site support was given. The cottage is very idyllic and it is very clean, cozy and absolutely comfortable. Also sufficient firewood for the stove and the sauna was taken care of! We will come back and thank Anneli very much for the wonderful time in Lapland.

Lukas was nice and friendly in our check-in process. Kitchen was very well equipped for my friends and I to prepare our dinner. Overall, a really lovely place to stay in!

The place was good and Lukas helped us lots and his instructions were clear. I would recommend his place to anyone will to Rovaniemi.

It was my first time to Finland. Had no problem getting to the apartment by taxi. Lukas is a great host, everything went smoothly while I stay. It is a lovely apartment, nice and clean. Great neighborhood with a great view. It is away from the city center but still within the walking distance. About 20minutes of walk to the city center, 10 minutes to a store where you can buy some food there. I like the place very much.

Thank you Lukas for offering amusive stay for my friends. They got to know Rovaniemi and had nice and restful 'base'.

Ok

The communication with Lukas worked perfectly. The apartment is clean and everything was just like described and shown on the photos. Thanks for making that nice stay in Rovaniemi possible.

Excellent location in an excellent city

Lukas' apartment is very good located to reach the citycenter, but also to start every kind of adventure. Inside the apartment it is super clean and comfortable. The view from the window is awesome. The breakfast has got everything you need. Lukas himself is a host like you wish to have: helpful, kind and always a smile on his face. He could give me a lot of information about the arctic region and its natives. I can recommend his apartment certainly to everyone.

A fantastic holiday in a quiet nature and environment is behind us. Anna-Stiina and Samuli are very nice and helpful, picked us up from the airport, drove us to the supermarket 2x (incl. Shopping advice on food) and also took us back to the airport. This is truly remarkable! The house is equipped with everything necessary. Just arrive, leave the world behind and unwind. We surely come back! Thank you so much !

100/100! This place makes me not want to leave. We met Anna's husband and their lovely dogs. So warm and friendly! He spoke great english and being superhosts, everything you need is in the house. Despite being booked back to back, the house is in tip top cleanliness and is such a great place! location wise: 20 mins from the city with privacy and shops maybe 5-10 mins away? There is even an outdoor BBQ house, how fantastic is that? The upper loft is great if you want to enjoy the night sky and this place can comfortably fit maybe even 8 people or more? overall, we love the place and would love to stay more days; the only reason why we didnt was because they are fully booked lol! Thanks superhosts!

We stayed one week with family with our 2 daughters, second half of April, in the cottage of Anna-Stiina. Waowwwww We fell under the spell of housing and its enchanting environment. Nature is beautiful and wild. The snow was still at the rendezvous, and the swans on the river. The house is sufficiently isolated to that one is quiet and close enough to Rovaniemi to discover the country with a car (20 minutes from downtown). Housing is true to the description. Saunas and barbecue allow to fully experience the Finnish adventure. It was a true moment of happiness !!!!!!!! Thank you to Anna-Stiina to leave the possibility to foreigners to enjoy its hospitality in confidence, and the quality of its hospitality and discretion.

Our stay at the cottage was the most perfect holiday ever! Our host was really punctual to meet up at exactly the agreed time and then patiently showed us around the cottage giving us clear instructions of what could be used in the right manner and how. We even learnt to start a fire in the outdoor sauna or the fireplace in a 1 minute crash course! The Koskenniemis were really nice hosts and the slight problem we faced with the electric sauna was promptly fixed the next day. If you are planning to stay over at the cottage, make it at least a 3 night stay. Any less, and you will always come back with an unfinished to-do list, like us.

Beautiful place deep in nature. Own cottage, although team and warm. Anna Stiina, the host, is very friendly. Everything comes together for a great vacation.

The house looks exactly like it does on the listing. The host's husband, Samuli was there at the time we agreed to meet and he gave us a very detailed tour of his house, including teaching us how to start a fire in his fireplace, barbecue and sauna. The house is right at the lake and it includes the rowboat which we used a few times. Kitchen was fully equipped too and it had basic ingredients like oil, salt and spices which we could use. We left our keys in the house one of the days and Samuli was there in half an hour to help us open the front door. He was so gracious about it and even asked if we needed anything else. I would recommend this listing to anybody who wants to stay somewhere close to nature.

This was hands down one of the best airbnb experiences that we've had. The cottage is set in the most beautiful area, secluded with an amazing array of amenities including the wood fired hot tub (which once you've got going stays very warm and is so relaxing), the BBQ hut and two saunas. We only had a few days in Rovaniemi but it felt like a week thanks to this place - Our check in tour from Samuli was extremely comprehensive and welcoming. We hope to be back again summer or winter this place is idillic!

We stay for nine nights at Annas cottage. No clue why you should be there for shorter time... The house and ground are equipped perfectly. It is a really special place where you can relax at indoor or outdoor sauna, hot tub or just in front of the chimney, sorrounded by beautiful nature. We had a snow shoe walk through the neighbourhood and visited a natural church. We also enjoyed husky and reindeer safari, went downhill skiing and explored Finnish Lappland. Anna was very supportive and very good host. The house was well prepared at our arrival. Would be great to come back again in the future.

We had a great time in the amazing wood house in Tornio. We stayed for 4 days. You can reach the city center in 5 minutes by car. The house is a little remote so you gonna need a car. The Sauna is comfortable and beautiful as well as the fire place. We had a romantic time in the house. We strongly recommend the house. Swedish boarder is just 5 km driving distance. Thank you Jouni!

Jouni's Cozy cottage was a perfect match for our purposes. We visited Tornio area to visit our relatives with a group 8 adults and 4 children. With couple of extra matresses we were able to fit very well. The cottage had everything to fulfill our needs. Multiple rooms to create personal space, but still having big living and dining room for mingling. The area is also very nice and pretty peaceful, some noise from the road nearby. The River is also nearby and there are really nice spots to visit that can Be reached with just a short wall.

We adored this lovely cabin! Honestly the pictures don't do it justice. It is SO much better in person! Great design, great layout, private yet close to great walks. We loved the beautiful sauna and amazingly well appointed kitchen with everything you need to make a beautiful feast for a large family. Outstanding!

Fine accommodation in Tornio. Many thanks to Jouni, we will be happy again!

Tornio is a place filled with a lot of history and culture behind it. Jouni's place is the perfect place for a layover and explore what the town has within. Jouni's place is HUGE... if you have traveling companions and you want some personal space, this couldn't be better. LOL. The rooms are spread across the house with the kitchen, bathroom and toilet located in the middle of it. The place is clean and cozy. I had one of the best time in this place be it dining or watching some local television show. You can't put a finger to why it works, it just works! Jouni was nice to let us settle in and popped by shortly to make sure that we have everything we need. He is an interesting guy! It is a shame that our stay was a short one, it'll be great if we had to opportunity to chill. I recommend this place to people who are looking for a cozy layover and explore the town.

Third time i stayed there, satisfied as always

Beautiful and cosy house in a quiet neighbourhood, very friendly host. Located near the airport and just 5 minutes from the supermarket. When we arrived there were little lights everywhere, which made us feel homely immediately. The beds are comfortable, I slept like a log ;) We also loved the fireplace and the sauna. If we come back to Lapland we would be happy to stay here again.

Thanks Jouni for his hospitality. The house location is good, walking distance to the town half an hour and 5 minutes by car. Beautiful nature, cozy house, we had everything we need. We really enjoyed our stay.

Anna's place was perfect for us. We were arriving late, so the flexible check-in was welcome. Great apartment. Lots of space and fast internet.

Our stay with Anna went well. His apartment is bright, quiet and the decor is very cozy. Everything is available, tv, washing machine ... We have not had the chance to see aurora from home even though each room has a large window with unobstructed view (fog every night). I recommend this accommodation.

Come here it's amazing

Anna and her family were very kind and picked us up from the airport even though we had a very late arrival at midnight! The flat was very lovely and homely, warm and cosy. They also helped suggest many things to do in the area. We would come and stay here again whenever Lapland!

Anna was a really good host for us, she is very avalable and helpful. Her appartment is kind, cosy and near to the city center. This is a perfect stop to visit Lapland in Finland. I recommand to everyone.

The apartment is very large and is located close to the airport Kittila. Anna is very simple!

We were very pleased with the stay. Shopping was close and the area is cozy. Anna recommended places to see. The ski resort Levi was within close driving distance from the apartment.

Anna's place is really comfy. Everything you need and more! Her sister came at the airport and bring us back there. We also rented her car, what was useful to go around. I really recommend to stay there. Thanks again Anna and Natalia for you help and hospitality

Housing well located in the city center and easily accessible, near shops open 24/24. Warm and practical information provided facilitate the stay. Spacious and pleasant apartment. Free parking in front of the building.

Oula's mum welcomed us on the day of our arrival and showed us around the apartment as well as explaining the nearby facilities. The apartment is clean and cozy. The location is perfect, at the citycentre and close to everything - supermarkets, restaurants and bus stations. Oula is responsive to all our enquiries. We left behind a small luggage when we left but Oula is helpful which release our anxiety! Will definitely recommend anyone going to Rovaniemi to stay at Oula's apartment.

We stays in Oula's place for 6 nights. Nice location, very close to most of the safaris office and 5-10 minutes walk to the local supermarket. We were welcomed by the host's mother which was very friendly and helpful. The apartment provided most of the essentials, spacious kitchen and bedroom + living room. However, I think the host need to be a bit more attentive to the length of guests that are staying in the apartment, like provide more toilet papers. And we can sometimes hear noises of the neighbors during night time. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for a comfortable and value place to stay in Rovaniemi.

The apartment was right in center of Rovaniemi, everything was just a short walk away. Oula was not able to meet us but his mother was in the house waiting for us when we arrived. She was very friendly and gave us a short introduction to the apartment while passing us the keys. The apartment was clean and comfortable, there was even a beanbag that we loved!

Oula organised his mother to greet us on arrival which was very thoughtful! He was very flexible with allowing us early check-in after our overnight train which was greatly appreciated! The house was clean. My only issue was someone in the building is a heavy smoker. You can rarely smell it in the apartment but it was very offensive in the corridors. Obviously the host has no control over this but it wasn't pleasant. Other than that the apartment is VERY centrally located and everything you need is within walking distance. Thanks for having us Oula!

Oula's mother gave us a very warm welcome at Oula house when we arrived and gave us very detailed introduction to the house and the surroundings. We find the house very clean n well maintained. The bed is very comfortable! The place is also very near to the grocery store, restaurants, safaris company as well as the bus stop to santa claus village. Will recommend people to stay!

The apartment was great and on a great location the description is very accurate and you have all you need

It was really good, the flat was as described, centrally located and well equipped. Oula's mother was there at our arrival and she bought for us some milk, fruits and bread. Really good!

Julia is very clean , kind and lovely woman. Her home-made breakfast was tasty and we could be able to have a Finnish breakfast. Sometimes She give me a glass of wine and we enjoyed chatting and My son also enjoyed playing with her lovely son. Location is actually not close to central but just 15min walk distance to the central. During walking, you can see beautiful nature and lovely Finnish houses. Staying at Julia's house is Highly recommend.

This was our best Airbnb experience ever! Julia is an amazing and scrupulous host, she gave clever tips on what to visit and how to enjoy the most of our 5 days in Rovanemi (including my partner's birthday). Both room and apartment are warm (in all senses) and cosy. Julia every day prepared us local delicious breakfast and that was the best possible way to start our days. Sharing the bathroom with 1-2 other guests wasn't at all a problem. Julia also helped us on the logistic around the Northern lights experience and the trips to/from the airport. Finally, we strongly recommend to stay in Rovanemi at Blueberry B&B for at least 3 days to enjoy the best from the place: we are already planning to go back during summer when the place changes completely, the temperature rises from -12 to 30 degrees and the frozen lake we walked hunting the Northern lights becomes one of the most amazing sandy beaches on the Arctic Polar Circle! Thank you again Julia, we already miss you!

Julia was a perfect host, friendly, willing to help and easy-going. The house and the room are nicely decorated. The breakfast was great and I am never going to forget the delicious cake she had made. From the house, the city centre is within a walking distance. Thanks Julia!

If you visit Rovaniemi, you should stay blueberry house! It's accessible from downtown and the location is surrounding nature, you feel good. Also, Owner is very kind and friendly, if you have some questions about sightseeing around Rovaniemi, you can consult to owner Mrs.Julia! She have good suggestions for you!

Julia was out of town during our stay at her house. Still, she provided us very useful information, and prepared foods for breakfast at refrigerator. The restaurants she recommended were very nice. The room was not big but contained almost everything we needed. We have a great time at Rovaniemi.

I stayed at Julia and Lukas' for three nights: I would definitely recommend this place to everyone; the location is great, near pretty much everything, the house is exactly like it's shown in the photos and there is everything you might need; besides, both Julia and Lukas are incredibly nice and welcoming, they helped us a lot during our stay. Special thanks for: 1) the bikes: treat them with respect, next guests of the Blueberry Inn: two italian idiots (my friend Alessandro and I), desperately and unsuccessfully looking for the northern lights, used them for a 30km ride in the very middle of the night on a completely frozen street without any food, water or fear. We still think it was such a great idea, though. 2) the sauna. Both Alessandro and I think it was one of the highlights of the whole trip to Finland, I will personally remember it forever!

Room very good, is limited to less than ten minutes to take a bath. The landlord were very enthusiastic to help us the cab, book a restaurant, very impressed! !

This is a beautiful airbnb, 100% recommend!! Julia is a super warm and friendly host, and always happy to help with directions or recommendations. The room was clean and comfy with a lovely view outside. The other travelers were friendly and we had some lovely meals around the shared table. The walk into the centre is pleasant, overall we had a great experience and would highly recommend Julia's wonderful place to any traveller! And not to forget her cute son and sweet little cat!! Thank you Julia xx

We arrived late, Antti stayed up showed us around the property and made sure we were comfortable. The igloo was well constructed and the sleeping bags were very warm. The bed and chair had animals pelts (I presume reindeer), there were ice candles, coffee/tea and gingerbread cookies. The wash closet was in the barn just a few sprints from the igloo. Antti offered to go indoors if we got too cold in the night as well as using the indoor wash closet. In the morning he provided a light breakfast, he provided some insights to Finland and he showed us around the property before we left to drive further north. We saw the northern lights right above the igloo that night! Any has many contacts if you would like to venture into Lapland such as snowmobiling and western riding. There is a ski resort in Luosto not too far from his property. We travelled from southern to northern Finland and really enjoyed the vast beautiful landscape Lapland had to offer. There are only two places we would return to Finland for and one of them is Lucky Ranch!

Antti was very helpful and offered great experiences at good prices. Would definitely recommend. The lodge was so cosy, clean and peaceful

Antti and his family were the perfect hosts! The igloo with the provided sleeping bags was toasty warm. Hot tub, sauna and a northern lights show just made the experience. We are already planning a possible return in the summer.

Igloo is as epic as it looks. But most of all there was the incredibly nice people who welcomed us and showed up on everything we requested and made sure we had everything we needed, invited to dinner and smiled all the time - which made for a memorable experience.

Annti was very responsive to our request to stay. Sleeping in an Iglo was an amazing experience and will complete your trip in Lapland. Thanks Antti for picking us up!!!

Oh what an experience! Antti and Anu are a pleasant couple who are very passionate about what they do. They have a lovely property. Igloo was very well constructed with thoughtful detailing in it. Antti's sleeping bags are very warm and cozy that make up the whole experience worthwhile. Even though it was -15C outside, inside the igloo it was -1C just enough to keep the igloo, an igloo :) He had a lovely fireplace outside the igloo with snacks and authentic lappish soup and glogi. Antti also gave us good tips for activities around the area. All in all a must experience!

Wonderful hosts! I did the snowshoe hike the evening I got there and we went up to the base camp and they made a fire and he gave me tea, chocolate and gingerbread. I spent one evening in the igloo and one evening in the house; a good balance. The next day they had a bonfire going with Hot Chocolate and Glögg. In the evening I borrowed snowshoes and drove to Pyha National Park and had dinner at the ski resort there. Gorgeous area! When I overslept and missed my dog sled safari, Antti called his friends and neighbors to arrange a new one for me. When I needed better boots, he had ones I could use. When my adapter didn't work, he found one that did. He's a FANTASTIC host!

Antti and Anu were such lovely hosts and went out of their way to make sure I was comfortable in their home. It was a wonderful experience in the igloo and I'm so glad I stayed with them during my experience in Lapland. I was able to see the Northern lights and I couldn't think of a better place to experience them. I can't recommend staying here enough! I will definitely be back!

The flat is really lovely and clean and cosy and located right in the centre of town. The building is quiet secure and there is free parking round the back. Helvi and her husband were very accommodating - I arrived very late on the first night, but they were there to meet me. There was a lot of tourist information -- maps, bus schedules -- in the flat, which was useful.

Really good experience. The flat was like pictures, clean with all accomodation and usefull products (hoover, towels, food stuff...). Located in the city center close to all restaurants, market, activities... All needed information available thanks to Helvi.

Helvi and her husband was at the apartment to welcome us. She had everything prepared and gave us a very warm orientation. The apartment itself is very spacious and beautifully decorated, something simple and comfortable. Made us feel like we're home. I wish to return soon with my family!

Great location!

Nice clean apartment in a great location. Gladly again.

Very nice, comfortable flat. Can't beat the location.

Helvi and her husband Tapio were extremely welcoming and friendly hosts. We had a wonderful and memorable stay at their cosy apt. Helvi has been very responsive with all our email queries, which was fantastic. The apt was neat and the kitchen was fully stocked with all the necessary amenities. The beds were very comfortable. Helvi also kept some food (bread, ham, eggs) and milk for us, which was very thoughtful for her. The location of the apt is superb, couldn't have been more central. It was within walking distance from the city center, water front, restaurants, super market etc. The kids had some toys and candy to eat at the apt, which was a big hit ! The elevator in the building is very small (2 adults + 2 kids) could barely fit, but we're glad that there was an elevator, as it was convenient. The blackout curtains were useful but did not completely block the sunlight, esp during 24x7 days of sunshine in summer. We wish that the two table fans were a bit bigger and more efficient as the apt got a bit warm and the fans were not very useful, per se. One of the fans suddenly stopped working, so that was unfortunate. But we managed. We also had a dedicated parking as well, which was very convenient. We would love to come back and stay at Helvi & Tapio's apartment again. They are wonderful, kind people and we fully endorse their apt for those who plan to visit Rovaniemi.

The apartment is very clean. It takes only two minutes by walking from the apartment to the Bus station no.8. Helvi and Tapio are very nice and friendly. I'm very glad to find this cozy apartment. It's been great experience in Rovaniemi.

Kari's place is attractive and perfectly located in the center of town, just blocks from restaurants and tour operators. The bed was comfortable, the shower was warm, and it felt luxurious to have a whole living room to hang out in!

Kari's apartment was great. It is well located, right in the center, 5-7 mins walk to everything. As well Kari provided free parking near the house. All the bedding was done for our arrival, and as we arrived pretty late it was very handy. Kitchen has everything necessary to cook. Kari as a host was very responsive and helpful.

Very nice apartment and very cozy beds! The bathroom and kitchen is also nice too! Only take four minutes walking to the tourists center!

We stayed at Kari's apartment for two nights in Rovaniemi. The apartment is very large, clean, with comfortable beds. It is walking distance to all the excursion companies, restaurants, and the bus station. There was some renovations being done to the building during our stay, so we were not able to sleep in past 8am. I would stay here again, but check to make sure there is no construction work being done.

The landlord answered questions very fast real-time, when we have a problem quickly for help, because we missed off the place, thanks to the landlord very enthusiastic drive to the bus terminal to pick us, helped us a great favor, very lucky encounter the landlord. Space is very large, very comfortable for two people, three people should also OK, very well equipped kitchen utensils, I can not cook, the highest in the city center, close to many shops will be able to walk with restaurants, 24-hour stores can also have supermarket with SHOPPING MALL, and angry birds park. Life function is great, highly recommended. Great recommendable host. Reply message very quick. Helpful, familiar, and very nice. The penthouse has big space, great nice kitchen, cozy and comfortable. Near by shopping mall, supermarket, 24H convenience store, and many restaurants and Bars and angry bird park. I and my wife really like here so much.

Nice house!

We spent a wonderful New Year's apartment Kari. The apartment is very welcoming and we are very comfortable with our children. Dealing with the host has been exceptional. The apartment is as it appears in photographs and has everything you need to enjoy our holiday. It is very well located as it is very central. If we repeat Rovaniemi safe and would definitely recommend it to future visitors. Thanks for all Kari.

Good price, good stay

Heikki's apartment are newly renovated and in prime condition. It has everything you need to live there as long as you would like. It is in the middle of Rovaniemi and every restaurant, bar or shop is just a few steps outside the front door. There is an indoor parking that will store your car safe and away from parking fees. We loved our stay, and if we are going back, I would love to stay there again. Thanks :-)

The place is wonderful, everything is there, it's warm, cozy, central, exactly wt u need in the coldness of Rovaniemi, we had a great time!

The place is really great, nicely located and completely new. Heikki has done a lot to help us, and if you have any problem you can ask him or his sister. Friendly & helpful :). I would come back whenever I can, it was a great experience in Lapland !

Great and freshly renovated apartment directly in the center of Rovaniemi! Everything is close from bus stop (to Santa Claus village) to restaurants and supermarkets. It is also quite easy to walk to the apartment from the railway station. We were warmly welcomed and introduced to the apartment and had a really nice stay there for 2 days! I will definitely come back when I'll visit Lappland again!

The accommodation was very clean, the check-in and check-out was very flexible.

This is a great house! The landlord is very good, very well equipped!

This Airbnb is comfy and clean! I rated five stars ! I will definitely choose to stay this house when I visit this city again !

It was so nice to stay in Heikki's place. It's clean and well-equipped. And the location is close to the city center. Very convenient as there is a big supermarket nearby. Heikki is very friendly, flexible, responsive and helpful host. We have a morning arrival train to Rovaniemi and he allowed us to check in earlier. We really enjoy to stay in his place and we hope to visit his apartment once again in winter.

Awesome and neat cottage, all you need is found. Comfortable and fair: Choice of, I recommend! :) The great thing about that: Choice of continuously waiting for us though a bit late for the agreed schedule we arrived.

Studio was clean and comfortable.Tinja was very kind, patient and helpful , overall it was extremely pleasant stay. Greatly enjoyed the sauna. Also a good spot for Aurora hunters. It's a value deal, would definitely recommend it. Studio était propre et confortable. Tinja était très gentil, patient et serviable et l'ensemble de séjour étés très agréable . J'ai beaucoup apprécié le sauna . Aussi un bon endroit pour les chasseurs d`Aurora . Ce est une bonne affaire a recommander .

Wonderful hostel on the outskirts of the village. The hostel is quite lonely on the edge of the village of Äkäslompolo. Directly opposite the hostel there is a stop for the Ski Bus, which accounts for one bus in the morning and one in the evening takes you. The next access point to a heavy traffic Ski Bus is 800 meters to the village center. Also opposite the hostel bus stop message to the train / railway station in Kolari. Room in which we lived, represents one of the three studios in a one-story house. In each room is a separate entrance from the street. The room has an entrance hall (with dryer equipment), bathroom (with shower), kitchenette with everything you need and the bed. Wi-fi is available only in the main building with reception, a cozy shared living room. Mistress of Tinja, very responsive and helped with any questions. The property has a sauna for a very reasonable fee.

Freedom's hostel was a really great place to be. We had a lovely cozy gottage there, and Tanja heeted the sauna for us. I would recommend this place to any other couples or individuals. There was also a chance to cook your own meals. Just have to remember own towels and sheet.

Beautiful location, a cottage surrounded by nature. Tinja has been very helpful ... recommended Excellent rating

The staff was friendly. Studio was clean, odorless and comfortable. Accommodation was a nice experience!

I've never felt so welcome, the place feels like home...and that's thanks to the hosts! The place is magical. The description was accurate, the price was fair and the atmosphere was magnificent.

Lovely cabin in a beautiful location. Great for outdoor activities and seeing the lights (on a clear night). Staff are very helpful.

Kari is a great host with very nice, big, well equipped and centrally located apartment. We really recommend it for anyone visiting Rovaniemi

Kari is a good host. Great clean beds and towel. 300m to city center. Will stay again if we come back.

It was a wonderful experience of having a stay in here and meeting Kari. It is a graceful and relaxing place in Rovaniemi. Highly recommended and your stay in here will be worthy and beyond your expectation!

Thanks again for the fact that you managed to get so quickly to the location of the apartments where we arrived much faster if we initially estimated it and also for the parking place reserved for us. It's a great place, well-equipped, clean, relaxing and I hope others will discover these things with pleasure.

Apartment recreation which my husband and three other men were triangles, therefore, plenty of room for such a group of friends. Apartment in a central location in the city and parking space was a plus. All were satisfied with sharing, as well as a friendly reception. Recommended for

nice apartment in the center,fully equipped. rental car can be parked behind the flat.

Perfect location in the city centre. Clean apartment with plenty of space, ideal for a couple who just needs a quiet place where to rest after a day around Lapland :) Kari was extremely friendly and available when we arranged checkin. Highly recommended.

Fantastic flat in the town centre. Comfortable beds, big kitchen with dining room. Thank you, Kari. I strongly recomend this host.

We stayed at Marko's for one night. Marko came to the train station to pick us up and when we arrived at his place his mother had already cooked lunch for all of us! The place is really nice and Marko is the best host ever (he even made home blood analysis for me!).

Marco stayed for one night. We recommended to all !! Value for money best for the next 50-70 km. Mom Marco fed dinner and breakfast. The whole evening spent at the table for conversation. The hosts are very friendly. Everything you need in the house is, the bedding and towels for free. Location is easy to find on the navigator. Thank you Marco for a warm welcome :)

Marko and his mother were not there to welcome us and left the keys but we wanted a room in a house to discuss with people as we are foreigners ! we had to change the sheets by ourselves, but low price ...

Marko and his mom were hospitable. We spent a good time in this house. Marko introduced some sightseeing for us and also helped us to remove snow from our car. The luckiest thing was that we saw Aurora outside the house! Thanks so much about all things that Marko did for us!

We were welcomed very well, and despite the fact that we had dinner before arriving, still drink tea and cocoa with different sweets. Mark's mother - a very warm person! We had ourselves and Marco sat at the table until late at night, talking about everything and she offered some tea and order-this treat. The house is beautiful, well-designed and constructed: the sound is extinguished very well, you can sleep well in the room when talking in the voice of the living room. The location is convenient if you travel by car. If not - the hosts will be welcomed, where it is necessary. The location is quite picturesque. Breakfast is very good.

Staying at Marko's and Satu's house is a great experience because both are friendly and hospitable. Marko's mum offered tasty and local food from her garden and Marko helped me planning my trip and booking a bus connection. He even picked me up from the bus station. The house is in a calm and peaceful area close to the river. You can really feel at home there.

Great place to stay ! We slept well and had a amazing breakfast. Marko is very kind and flexible. Thanks a lot for the ride from and to the airport, it helped a lot ! Thanks again, see ya !

Nice and quiet. We were given free dinner and breakfast! Even some homemade pastry. It was a perfect stop to have after a long drive.

We really enjoyed staying in your cabin. It is a great place to stay for the person interested in some winter activities like cross-country or alpine skiing, snowboarding and tracking northern lights. The location is very convenient because it's not far from Sallatunturi ski resort, reindeer park and the city of Salla. We had no problems with finding it and accommodating. The cabin itself has plenty of room for everyone. The cabin manual and the maps of skiing trails and slopes in english were very helpful as well. The only issue we had was the sauna manual which was only in finnish. But some (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) translating and common sense did the trick. Everything else is awesome and I'm not sure that anything else needs improvement. Great cabin, quick-to-reply and responsible host, uncrowded and quite place in the middle of snowhere. What else does a Lapland traveller need? My family wishes you lots of guests to visit your cabin regurarly. I hope we'll visit it once again next year. Best wishes, Andrey

We spent 4 nights at Ulf's cabin this summer. The photos are representative of the cabin which was excellent in every way: very well equipped, clean , comfortable, modern and spacious and easily contained our five member family. The location is excellent - the cabin is located in a quiet area (without being too isolated) and there is a lot to do in the surroundings, including hiking paths and a reindeer park within walking distance of the cabin. We did not meet Ulf but communication with him was fast and reliable and he made sure everything worked smoothly. A great place to come home to after a day full of activities. Highly recommended.

Ulf was very helpful, friendly and quick to respond to any queries we had about the cabin and what to do in the area. The cabin was warm, cosy and yet spacious, with stylish decor. It has all the mod cons you need, including a well equipped kitchen and a sauna. The location was great, a 10 min walk from the reindeer park (reindeer safari is fabulous) a 25 min walk from a good restaurant and 30 min walk to the excellent ski resort Sallatunturi. Although it was in the midst of other cabins, it was beautifully quiet and secluded. We would definitely like to return.

We had a fantastic stay at Ulf's cabin. It was warm, quiet, comfortable and exactly like the pictures. We felt at home immediately. Location was good for exploring the south of Lapland. The only negative was that we had to leave!! Ulf always responded quickly and was the perfect host even though we didn't meet in person. We highly recommend this place.

We visited Ulf's cabin the first week of December 2013, and it was truly wonderful! Everything you need is there; a nice and cozy living room, with WIFI, TV, DVD and a fireplace where you can grill some sausages. The kitchen has everything you need (we stayed in and cooked dinner every evening). 3 comfortable bedrooms, a washing machine and dryer, a sauna and the best shower ever In the time we visited Salla, it was sometimes -26 degrees, and everything was covered in snow. Winterwonderland! So beautiful. We even got to see the Northern Light just outside the cabin. The reindeer park is a short walk from the cabin. We went on a Husky safari, which I can recommend! Pure Lapland. About 3 kilometers from the cabin you will find the ski slots, some restaurants and snow scooter hire. About 13 kilometers you will find good supermarkets (and the Alko liqueur store) at Salla. We rented a car, which made traveling around much easier. The communication with Ulf was very good, he replied fast and was very helpful. After a day in the snow it was a warm and comfortable place to come back to. We enjoyed it very much, definitely hoping to come back one day. Thank you Ulf.

Thank you Ulf, we're happy to come back one day :)

We had a wonderful stay in the cottage in Lapland Ulf. Very comfortable, clean and spacious, ideal for relaxing after a day in the cold. The cottage is situated in a beautiful location, close to all activities. We highly recommend this accommodation.

Ulf was a great host, even though he was not there to great us in person he was extremely fast and reliable about getting in contact with us when we needed. We found the whole experience wonderful and would 100% recommend to others wishing to experience the Finland Lapland's
