One of our party is allergic to dogs and just be aware they are allowed at this property. Note this was fully disclosed. This place was highlight of our 16 day Finland trip!

Beautiful stunning location on the lake and forest! Excellent views, and spacious house with all amenities required. Fantastic sauna! Saw an amazing Aurora Borealis in January! Host was amazing and went above and beyond in all aspects.

Slightly comfier pillows on the beds would be great, but caused no issue sleeping. We didn't raise with host but I'm sure would've been resolved if raised.

A superb house near Ivalo - we had a fantastic stay! The house is only a 10 minute drive from the airport (€20 by taxi) and a 10 minute drive from Ivalo where there is a large supermarket and other basic facilities. For a wider selection of restaurants and activities, Saariselkä is only a 20 min drive and hence the house is perfectly situated for everything you need, whilst also being super secluded and quiet. We visited in the winter (Dec/Jan) and it was magical in the snow, with the frozen lake making for a beautiful backdrop! When booking I was hesitant with the airport nearby, but with there only being only a few flights a day and it being far enough away, it really didn't cause any disturbance at all - if anything, it was a more of convenience to be nearby. The facilities in the house were great, with everything you'd need for a short and long stay. There was also a fire and sauna which we didn't use, but all was easy to set up if you so wished. The owner was very responsive and replied quickly whenever we had any questions. We were provided with lots of YouTube videos for how to operate everything - very useful! We were also super lucky during our stay, with the Aurora Borealis flowing straight over the house one evening! The frozen lake and open views made for an exceptional viewing of the lights, if you get lucky. We felt like we had our own private display! A once in a lifetime experience which was enhanced by the location of the house and its situation on the lake. Don't hesitate to book, we had a trip of a lifetime here!

Nothing.

It was very well-appointed, clean, toasty inside where it was subzero outside, and the views of the lake were simply amazing. Enjoyed the sauna with the birch leaves in the privacy of our cabin, and we had great fun tobogganing outside. Our host, Ilkka was most hospitable and attentive. Thanks much, Ilkka!

Abosultely beautiful views from the house. The host was extremely flexible with our arrival and departure times. He assisted us with planning some excursions while we were in Ivalo. Very easy to contact! Would 100% stay there again!

We LOVED EVERYTHING! It was the most amazing accomodation we have ever booked and we travel fairly often. The house is huge, has a sauna, aurora viewing balcony, large kitchen and living/dinning room with a fireplace. The view from the house is amazing... you feel very secluded and private, but you're still close to the town... the owner was super friendly and helpful, he showed us how he does ice fishing and he even made me ice swimming hole in the frozen lake as I wanted to try avanto. We will come back for sure!

cottage is not equipped with Aircon (as most cottages) so we were really warm at night during this hot period of 30degrees, turning up the ventilation helped some, the upstairs bedrooms feel the heat the most. beds were too soft. the location of the cottage does not allow you to see the midnight sun, even on the aurora balcony. I think it will be stunning for the aurora tho as the cottage faces the NNW, roughly

space - 4 actual bedrooms (2 upstairs, 2 downstairs) with a daybed upstairs; large sauna; well equipped kitchen and a dining table with a stunning view of the lake. there is an outside sauna building which we didn't use, BBQ pit available but too many insects currently to enjoy this. can wade into the lake after your sauna, only knee deep in the area in front of the cottage. owner was v responsive, videos are clear in explaining how to use the various facilities.

The property is amazing! Kitchen is loaded with literally everything you will need. Sauna is excellent. Beds are comfortable. The Super organised host is super helpful, he even helped us in organizing private tours.
