Reviews
"We had a wonderful stay here. The property is spotlessly clean, very modern, and comfortable, and in a perfect location — just a short walk to the lake, local restaurants, and a very well-stocked supermarket. As others have mentioned, it is quite close to the back of the supermarket, which can be bright at night, but it really wasn’t an issue for us at all. The kitchen was well equipped with good-quality utensils, which made self-catering easy. A real highlight was using the lakeside beach sauna and then watching the Northern Lights from the hot tub — such a special experience. Communication from the hosts was excellent: they were extremely responsive and very helpful, even managing to extend our stay by two extra nights without any issues when our flights were significantly delayed due to cold weather. We’d happily stay again and would highly recommend this place."

"We had an excellent stay and couldn’t have asked for more. The villa was exceptional! It was very well equipped, clean, and well maintained, with a warm and cosy vibe that made us feel right at home. The location was also very convenient, with a supermarket and other local amenities within walking distance. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there and would absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable and relaxing stay."
Aaron
“An excellent location offering great tranquility, and a high‑quality house with useful, brand‑new equipment. The lake, just 10 meters from the house, provides plenty of walks and beautiful Northern Lights once night falls. I highly recommend this accommodation, with a very kind and responsive host who is always ready to help and advise you. Thank you — our honeymoon in Lapland was perfect, and that’s partly thanks to you.”

“The house was truly a dream, and we felt comfortable from the very first moment. The location is simply perfect: a café, supermarket, pharmacy, and restaurants are all less than a five‑minute walk away. At the same time, right outside the front door is the frozen lake, where—with a bit of luck—you can watch the Northern Lights, a truly special experience. The interior is beautiful, high‑quality, and designed with great attention to detail. Everything was very clean, and the kitchen is excellently equipped, making self‑catering easy. A real highlight for us was the private sauna, which rounded off the stay perfectly. The hosts were always reachable and responded very quickly. We would wholeheartedly recommend this accommodation and would return anytime.”

“A nice and well‑functioning accommodation. The location was excellent — all services and activities were close by. Communication went perfectly, and the responses came very quickly.”

“The accommodation is very beautiful and furnished in a minimalist style, but it has everything you need. The sauna was perfect in the evenings to warm up. There is a supermarket directly across the street, and restaurants are also easy to reach. There is plenty to do in the area as well. We would come back again :)”
Lara
“A truly beautiful house in a dream location right by the lake! Very well equipped and extremely clean. The sauna, kitchen, fireplace, and bathrooms are also excellent. There is a large supermarket right next door, which unfortunately receives deliveries very early in the morning, and the trucks keep their engines running. The downstairs bedroom gets very warm because it unfortunately can’t be ventilated — but aside from that, it’s a highly recommended accommodation! We would come back anytime!”
