There is only one thing. The hut only contains the bare minimum to cook, and it is especially very hard to wash the dishes. However, the kitchen of the owner is opened between 8h00 and 21h30. Therefore, I strongly recommend then to cook there if you have to cook something, as her kitchen is well equipped :)

We really liked the entire place, it is very charming. The sauna is honestly the best we have seen during our trip, you cannot miss it. Also, there is a hole of water called « the path of the heros » where you can jump after the sauna if you dare 😁. Also the host is very kind, and the snowshoes are high quality. The last thing to mention is the value for money, which is outstanding !

It was amazing ! The welcome was incredible, and everything is done to make you feel good there. On top of everything, you have a great view from the room.

An absolutely unbelievable magical Finnish experience! Riitta-Liisa was the perfect host. The cabin was beautiful and clean, with everything we could have needed, including a memory foam bed. The sauna and hot tub were beyond our wildest dreams, the attention to detail in the sauna was ridiculous with multiple choices of shampoo and body wash as well as a choice of drinks in the entrance. Riitta-Liisa always ensured the sauna was on for us whenever we desired. The hot tub was incredible, Riitta-Liisa ensured it was the perfect temperature. It’s a must do when staying here! The best part about the stay was the unlimited access to skis and snow shoes (which she personally adjusted to fit our shoes) on her private forest trails, including a tobaggan hill and lunch fire hut. Riitta-Liisa is an incredible and kind host, with great attention to detail. She helped us start the fire pit, knocked on our door to alert us to the northern lights, and she gifted us home made cake and roses as it was my birthday when staying there. I cannot recommend this stay and this host enough and will definitely be returning!

I loved everything

Eco Unela is the most beautiful and charming place that I have seen after traveling for different continents. Riita the owner is pure magic as the place. Every single thing is made with “ love and soul “. You breath the mist natural and fresh air possible and with connection with nature is just amazing. The cabin is simple but it has all you need. There’s no electricity or running water inside but you don’t need it. Instead you have the fire, candles and flashlights. We loved the trekking in the forest using the snow shoes we borrow from Riita, the ski was very fun and the sauna is the best In the world. Riita shared some time with us and we really enjoyed the friendship we created. This entire experience meant a lot to us. Don’t hesite to stay in this place, it can be different but 100% worthy.

Nothing, everything was absolutely great and thank you Riitta for hosting.

I was surprised with my wife, how amazing accommodation was that. The host - Riitta was very kindful and helpful. The cabin was ready for us perfectly. She taked care about us. She prepared sauna, which is totally traditional, not electric, but wood heated, wonderful experience. Everything from eco materials, wood everywhere you can look. Unfortunately we could be there only one night, I hope we visit the camp again, we want that certainly, maybe also in the summer. Also you can borrow ski or snowshoes or you can use a typical Finnish Kota. Our dinner in Kota was also wonderful and authentic moment in our lives. We hold our fingers Riitta in her bussiness and we wish a lot of clients. Thank you for everything !

We loved absolutely everything. It was exactly what we were looking for and wondered why there weren't many places like this. A true Diamond in the Rough.

If you are looking for the great outdoors, peace & quiet I cannot recommend this place enough. An absolute GEM in Rovaniemi. Away from all the commercial touristic usuals. Elämysmajoitus Eco-Unela embraces the true Finnish outdoors. Traditional Sauna, Heroes bath (for the brave), and just beautiful nature. Also a great location if you want to catch the northern lights around a campfire.

The room given to us was really small, there is no bathroom and no kitchen. If you need to tKe shower, you need to use the one where the owner stays, and its about 30m away. It may not sounds far for a good day, but in winter when cold can be extreme, can be a pain. There is a eco-toilet outsidr our cottage, but if temperature is -15DegC, you probably dont want to use it, way too cold.

The property is like a village, its has got a few cottages, one of them is where the owner stays, the rest may by mini cottages for guest, there is cottage which is a fire place, a sauna, a Christmas house … overall a very cozy place.
