Ihan mukava majatalo. Kuuma ilma, niin ilmastointi olisi tehnyt reissusta vielĂ€ onnostuneemman. Majoitukseen kuului tunnin saunavuoro❀.

Yövyimme igluissa kesÀaikaan ja pÀÀsimme ajelemaan jÀrvelle iglumme kanssa. Matka sujui mukavasti ja saimme ajelulle hyvÀn ohjeistuksen. Oli mukavaa pÀÀstÀ lÀmmittÀmÀÀn rantasaunaa, johon talon isÀntÀ lainasi ystÀvÀllisesti sytytystarvikkeitaan. Aamiainen oli niukka, mutta tÀyttÀvÀ. Munat oli keitetty hyvin ja majoituksesta pystyi ostamaan hiukan hintavia ruoka-annoksia. Majoitukseen tullessamme henkilökunta ei tiennyt, missÀ iglumme avain oli, mutta sijainti kuitenkin selvisi jonkin ajan jÀlkeen. Saimme vuokrata kalastusvÀlineitÀ, joka oli mukava lisÀ. Majoituksessa oli ilmeisesti kesÀtöissÀ nuoria, joista osa ei edes tervehtinyt.

Great stay

It was a very good and clean place. We enjoyed seeing the northern lights and did several outdoor activities. The staff is also good.

Fantastic accommodation in the igloo. Can be slightly cramped at times but this is expected with the type of room. Fantastic staff/service with amenities on site.

Rauhallinen yöpymispaikka vaikkakin vanha miljöö ja siksi ÀÀnet kuuluivat kÀytÀvÀltÀ ja viereisestÀ huoneesta. Aamupala niukka, mutta kaikki tarjottava tuoretta ja hyvÀÀ.

Mukava henkilökunta, yleisilmeeltÀÀn siisti, sauna vaatisi vÀhÀn uutta laudetta ja suihkun pÀÀt pidikkeitÀ. HyvÀ aamupala 8/10, ensi kertaan.

Huone oli pieni, mutta ihan ok. Kylpyhuone olisi pÀivityksen tarpeessa, oli kylmÀ, kostea ja hieman epÀsiisti. Henkilökunta oli ystÀvÀllistÀ ja aamupala maittava.

Sleeping in an igloo under the Aurora Borealis

We stayed in an igloo and we were able to catch a glimpse of what was probably the Northern Lights. The igloo was super comfortable and in a remote location. We would come back for sure.

Edelleenkin hyvÀ ja maittava aamupala. Rannan sinilevÀ pilasi kyllÀ uintisuunnitelmat, mutta sillehÀn ei paikka voi mitÀÀn.

I was expecting the location to be further away from town, but it was right next to the road. There is not much around for food options and tours, you have to go through them. I wish the dog sledding was more than just around the lake. The snowmobiling was awesome. The showers need a big update.
Alyson, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

If you’re looking for a family run business, with beautiful lake surroundings, look no further!! The staff is kind and very helpful. The owner went out of his way to get my room ready as I was 3h early for check in! You do need a car as the transportation is very limited (1 bus a day on the weekend 😅). Unfortunately the snow melted by the time I arrived, as it’s early in the season, but I did get to see a stunning Aurora dancing over me just on the front yard: once in a lifetime experience that I’ll never forget 💕. I’ll definitely come back
.with a car 😂. Kiitos 💕💕💕

PysÀhdyttiin matkalla pohjoisesta etelÀÀn tÀnne yhdeksi yöksi ja yövyttiin iglussa. Vaikka keli oli sateinen, eikÀ esim. revontulia nÀhty, niin oli hauska kokemus kaiken kaikkiaan. RanuanjÀrven rannat olivat kauniisti ruskan vÀreissÀ ja paikka mitÀ ihastuttavin. Saunoimme rantasaunassa ja siellÀ aivan ehdottomasti kaikista majapaikoistamme TOP1 löylyt, oikea vanhanajan kunnon sauna! Kiitos lÀmmittÀjÀlle. Ranta soveltui virkistÀvÀlle uimiselle. Illalla nautimme hotellin ravintolassa maukkaat hampurilaisateriat. Kaikki siistiÀ ja idyllistÀ, henkilökunta erittÀin ystÀvÀllistÀ.
Iglussa myös mahdollisuus lÀhteÀ ajelemaan jÀrvelle halutessaan.
Mukava ranta.
Aivan mahtavat löylyt. Rantasaunassa varusteluna vesipata eli ei suihkua, jota ei kyllÀ kaipaakaan tÀssÀ perinteisessÀ suomalaisessa saunassa.

It would be good if there was housekeeping of rooms as we had to constantly keep on asking for top up of toilet paper, self-cleared the rubbish bins and the eco toilet in the igloo had started to smell mid-way during our 6 days stay there. Other than that, the rest were satisfactory.

We stayed in the igloos and cooked and ate meals both in the igloo and also dinner in the restaurant. 1. Staff were amazing and lovely 2. Food and wine options for dinner and the cosy restaurant was delightful and enjoyable 3. We also cooked and ate in our igloo and the kitchen provided all the kitchen items we needed and were happy for us to drop things off to be cleaned 4. I found the igloos to be surprisingly spacious with lots of spots to store things 5. Small compostable toilet was fine for evening use and we didn’t mind heading up to the main guesthouse for showers and to use bathrooms 6. The bathrooms are a little dated but clean and functional 7. People mentioned in past reviews about the big step to the deck of the igloo. However you don’t need to do the big step as you can walk around a different paths Overall we had a totally amazing experience and I could have stayed longer

The property is quite old. No lavatory inside the room so if you need to wash your hands nor get water, you still have to go outside. Also the space is so small inside the room. Bus station is 10 minutes away and there are only 4 bus schedules so you have to plan your trips.
