Very clean and comfortable. Loved the snug feel of the cabin. Gorgeous setting. We didn’t have a car but used Taxi & Uber which were widely available. The folder on the table was handy and informative.

We stayed for one night with two young children. The cabin (Rooki) was small but perfectly designed to meet all of our needs. It was warm, private and very comfortable - everything you could want. Best of all, the surrounding area was simply stunning. From a logistical point of view, we were so grateful to the hosts for helping us with a request and putting us in touch with a very friendly and reliable driver. Couldn’t have asked for better, would highly recommend.

Hébergement bien placé au bord de la rivière, propre et très agréable. Sport idéal pour les aurores boéral😁. Il manque juste un petit peu de place pour les valises.

Logement impeccable, situé en face de la rivière Kemijoki. Nous y avons été début mars, tout était enneigé, l’endroit était magnifique. Nous avons pu faire un feu de camp chaque soir et surtout nous avons eu la chance d’assister à un magnifique spectacle d’aurores boréales juste au dessus de nos têtes la dernière nuit. Le logement est sinon bien équipé. Le seul bémol est le sauna. Il est hyper placé avec une vue imprenable sur la rivière mais le prix était carrément prohibitif (100 euros pour 1heure). C’est dommage. Pour moins cher il vaut mieux faire 2heures de spa à L’invisible Forest Lodge (85 euros incluant sauna en pleine forêt, jaccuzzi et déjeuner).

Una mini casa funzionale, arredata con classe, intima e con le viste spettacolari sugli alberi del giardino innevati che sembravano dei quadri in bianco e nero. Check-in comodissimo, utile la lettura delle informazioni su come gestire la casa come es. l'acqua calda. Bellissima anche la sauna con vista sul fiume ghiacciato e innevato. Grazie per la disponibilità e l'assistenza e l' organizzazione della sauna.

O quarto estava impecável, roupa de cama perfeitamente limpa, vários aquecedores distribuídos pelo chalé!! Local calmo em um ambiente ótimo!!! A ducha foi muito boa, só o box era um pouco pequeno!! A localização era tão boa que a Aurora Boreal apareceu pra nós bem em cima da pousada por vários dias seguidos!!!
