So friendly, very comfortable set up. The sauna was fab. Food was great.

The surrounding environment is like a fairyland. There is a big lake behind the house, which is very convenient to observe the aurora. The landlord is very good. He helped us make an appointment with a lovely driver. This is really an unforgettable accommodation experience.

Everything! The cabin was an absolute dream—nestled deep in the peaceful Finnish forest, far away from everything, yet still only 40 minutes from Rovaniemi. The whole place is designed to be in perfect harmony with nature: the cabins are built with sustainable materials, decorated with impeccable taste, and fully equipped while maintaining that cozy, minimalistic charm. We were surrounded by pure silence, snow-covered trees, and magical light. It felt like we had the whole forest to ourselves. Everything was incredibly clean, well-maintained, and filled with small thoughtful details that made us feel at home. The perfect place to disconnect, reconnect with nature, and just breathe.

This was my second time staying at this cozy Finnish cabin—my first visit was two years ago. Some things have changed since then, but the important parts remain the same. The new additions, like the restaurant and the second sauna, are great upgrades. Although it’s self-catering here, the restaurant is perfect for us when we didn’t feel like cooking. The food is authentic Finnish cuisine, and it really adds to the experience. What hasn’t changed is the stunning scenery and the hospitable people. It’s for me the perfect place to disconnect from city life and enjoy some peace and quiet away from the tourist crowds in Rovaniemi. We stayed for several days, and there’s always something to do—Nordic skiing, husky safaris, chasing the northern lights on the lake, or just relaxing in the sauna. It’s impossible to get bored. This place has such a special charm, and I’m already looking forward to coming back a third time!

Stunning cottage where we saw our first ever Northern Lights. Peaceful, clean, authentic, what a dream. We will miss you dearly Villa Haapala. Host was also a fantastic communicator. Thank you for providing us with the best Xmas of our lives!
