Beautiful location, very good value, extremely spacious, host was very responsive and helpful.

We spent 5 unforgettable days in this house with our family and dog, celebrated New Year’s, and were absolutely delighted! This was our first visit to Finland, and the experience exceeded all expectations. We were especially touched by the care of the hosts, who prepared for our arrival so thoroughly that even the cold weather couldn’t spoil our stay. They provided us with warm boots, ushanka hats, balaclavas, and gloves for the entire family — it was a pleasant and unexpected gesture, especially since we weren’t fully prepared for the local frosts. The house itself is simply magical! Warm, cozy, built from wood, with a large fireplace, a spacious living room, two bedrooms, and even a sleeping area on the stove — perfect for those who want to experience the true atmosphere of countryside living. All the furniture is new, the house is spotlessly clean, and everything is organized. We particularly appreciated the many small but useful items that are often overlooked, like zip bags, plastic wrap, a potato peeler, and more. The hosts exceeded all expectations by organizing incredible winter activities for us. They offered sleds, a snowmobile, fishing gear for ice fishing, and equipment for skiing in the forest. Thanks to them, we enjoyed an active and adventurous holiday in nature. All of these activities were available for an additional fee, which was perfectly fine with us. The sauna was a special treat! After enjoying 100-degree heat, it was pure bliss to jump straight into the snow — an unforgettable experience! Unlimited access to firewood made this even more convenient and enjoyable. The house is located in a stunningly beautiful area: you can step right out of the door to a lake, surrounded by a snowy forest. The scenery is breathtaking and creates an unforgettable atmosphere. The hosts were always available, ready to answer any questions, and even helped us with our car before our departure. Their sincerity and kindness truly won us over.

Absolutely stunningly beautiful and functional place. We had a magical time in the villa. The view to the lake, the sauna hut, the main house and the fully loaded kitchen is just amazing. We have planned bunch of activities, but ended up the entire day in the house, as is was everything we wanted. The kitchen had everything we could think of or need. We cooked and backed and had all the tools for that. The host was very welcoming and responsive. Bottom line, I would definitely recommend this amazing place, and we are already planning to come back there during summer.

The house is an ultimate North Finland living experience! Fireplaces, sauna, forest, reindeers. Inside the house you will find everything you might need and more. We loved every part of our stay. Miia and her husband are great hosts. We even had a chance to feed raindeers 😍 We dream of coming back one day.

The view was beautiful. And the fireplace nice.
