“The interior decoration is as if I had been to a forester’s house. Outside – a log house and inside the same thing. It’s very interesting. Deer walk nearby. The sauna heats up very quickly.

“Cozy room with a gorgeous view of the winter forest. It is very warm here, but there is not enough refrigerator and kettle. Bring a kettle or coffee maker. The hotel is located next to the ski lift, and half a kilometer away there is another one with excellent slopes. The nature around is just fabulous. Prices for rent and ski passes are acceptable. Compared to the neighboring ISO-Syöte, it is one and a half to two times cheaper and there are no queues. Very tasty lunches and dinners, but pizza will give odds to Italian! Happy to come back again” Nadezhda

I highly recommend this option to anyone travelling to Rovaniemi. Here you can stay in a good place, while at a very reasonable price compared to other offers.
