Avis Midnight sun in Finnish Lapland

Ein sehr gemütliches, liebevoll und detailliert-rustikal eingerichtetes Ferienhaus mit vollständiger Ausstattung. Die Nutzung der Sauna, des Kamins und des Wintergartens ist sehr zu empfehlen. Der Vermieter ist sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Spontane Anfragen wurden sehr schnell und unkompliziert beantwortet. Die Benutzung der Komposttoilette ist etwas ungewohnt, stellte aber kein Problem dar (keine Gerüche oder Ekelempfinden). Meine Freundin und ich waren Ende März dort und haben eine fast unberührte Tiefschneelandschaft vorgefunden. Aufgrund der sehr geringen Lichtemissionen eignet sich die Umgebung perfekt für die Beobachtung von Polarlichtern. Der Weg vom Parkplatz bis zum Ferienhaus (auf einer Insel) über den gefrorenen See dauerte zu Fuß 10-15 min. Der Vermieter hat uns zu Beginn und Ende der Reise mit dem Schneemobil inkl. Gepäck zum Haus gebracht und angeboten, uns 1× pro Tag unseres Aufenthaltes hin- und wieder zurück zu transportieren. Ich empfehle die Anfahrt mit einem (Miet-)Wagen, da es nach Inari noch ungefähr 15 min Fahrt mit dem Auto sind.

Our stay in the lodge was really great. The location in the Island in the wilderness is incredible and the lodge was even better than we expected. There is everything inside you need for a perfect stay, a fully equipped kitchen, a sauna, a nice and warm bed, a huge cozy couch, even internet connection and everything was perfectly clean. The greatest of all is the surroundings. You get lost in peacefulness, quiet, nature, snow and relaxation. Three days there are worth so much more than 2 entire weeks in a spa. The owners Jonas and Rosie are very welcoming and friendly people as well. A big thank you! We'll come again!

My boyfriend and I stayed in the small lodge for 3 nights right after Christmas. I wished we stayed for a whole month! It is absolutely perfect if, like us, you want to live a special experience in Lapland, away from tourists. One couldn't be more isolated: you need a 3-min snowmobile ride to get to the lodge, up on its small island (it is doable by foot using snowshoes in about 20min but we never did so, we were too confortable there!) The whole experience was surreal: we arrived at "sunset" (3pm) and easily met with Jonas who was drove us across the lake in his snowmobile, which gave us a magical view over the surroundings. Jonas was very helpful in giving the tour of the lodge: it is decorated with taste, fully equipped, warm and cosy. We brought groceries with us for the duration of our stay and found everything we needed in the kitchen. And of course: there's a sauna, which is definitely appreciated :) We rented snowshoes from Jonas and basically spend the 3 days exploring the lake and forests around - Jonas was kind enough to draw trails in the snow with his snowmobile so that we could hike. We hunted auroras at night and could see some, even from the living room's window! We didn't do any of the tours offered by Jonas because we wanted to rest as much as possible, but he is offering a wide range of activities and is a very knowledgable and kind guide. There is another bigger lodge on the island which looks even more beautiful - we plan to come back there with friends! We've been travelling a lot and we can tell: it is truly a unique place. I can see families, couples, or groups of friends enjoying it as much as we did. I recommend to stay 3 nights or more to enjoy it fully, as the weather changes a lot and you get to re-discover the landscape as the weather evolves. Ivalo airport is not too far. In a nutshell: this is a magical place, we recommend it 100%, and we definitely want to come back. Thanks to the Georgi family for making this place available for tourists from all around the world!
