Apartment on the shores of Lake Ranuan
We had a great time at Eija's place. It's as nice as the pictures suggest and a good starting place for exploring northern Finland. As a general tip, I'd recommend traveling by car, then you can easily reach several national parks and other sights in the area, as well as Rovaniemi. The area is calm, the frozen lake and snowy scenery make for a serene retreat. Eija was always quick to respond, helpful and friendly. Definitely recommended!

Beautiful row house apartment with sauna near city
Great spacious space for a family. Pretty and clean with all the necessary equipment. We enjoyed our stay! Thank you!

Cozy studio with river view.
The apartment was a positive surprise, like a hotel room!

Stunning 87m2 apartment on the banks of the Kemijoki River.
âWonderful stay in Maulaâ We had a fantastic stay at this cozy Airbnb! The place was just as described â modern, clean and very well equipped. We particularly liked the breathtaking view of the Finnish countryside and the tranquility of the surroundings. The hosts were incredibly kind and helpful. They gave us great tips for things to do in the area and made us feel comfortable at all times. We want to highlight the sauna, which was a real highlight â ideal for relaxing after an active day. The location was also excellent. We were lucky enough to be able to see the aurora lights several times. We highly recommend this place and would stay here again anytime!

Townhouse with private dock
Great accomodation, very close to the city. Amazing views from the deck. Maarit was great! communication was very clear and she was very accommodative.

Aurora Apartment | 2BDR | w/Sauna
The host was very responsive. I booked the place during evening time and I was able to go in soon after. The apartment is also close to museum and decent walking distance away from the city center. Also during winter time it is easy to walk to next to the river to watch Auroras (if there is any). Overall a nice experience.

Arctic Corner Apartment with Jacuzzi
We had the best time at Christaâs place well equipped with everything walking distance to everything. Would highly recommended. Thank you Michael and Tracy

Arctic Aurora HideAway
Would highly recommend this property. Beautiful views. Modern amenities. Host was extremely helpful. Have equipment on site for you use. Host can help with setting up excursions. Would definitely return

Apartment & Private Spa
We had the greatest stay at Kostiâs ! Heâs the best host we could ask for. Heâs always available when you need anything, and makes sure for your stay to be as welcoming as possible. The sauna and pool are really nice to enjoy, and the location is perfect. The (then frozen) river next to the house offered us the possibility to watch wonderful auroras, and the proximity the Ounasvaraa ski station allowed us to enjoy it as much as possible. I could only recommend you to stay at Kostiâs place if you want your stay to be the best, and feel as a local.

Riverside Dream
Riverside Dream really lived up to it's name, such a beautiful, clean home with stunning views in the perfect location! Joni-Arttu was extremely responsive and friendly, making the booking, check in and stay so smooth. The property is in a prime location, 10- 20 minutes from most attractions and the airport. We were easily able to book local taxis to and from the home. Such a spacious property that was super clean and decorated for Christmas with a lovely Christmas tree and inviting candles/lights. We (a family of 4) enjoyed the grill hut and sauna and were lucky to witness the Northern Lights from the garden! Our boys appreciated the children's games and the sledges. A highly recommended property, thank you and your brother again Joni-Arttu đ

Villa Liipi
Juhas Villa is one of the best accommodations iâve been to during all my Journeys. Itâs located very beautiful and private near a huge lake. The Villa is spacious and equipped very well. Itâs 30 minutes from Ranua by car away. So itâs a good Place to visit for example the Ranua Wildlife Park. We also Went to Korouoma Canyon from Juhas Villa. Itâs easy to get to the Villa by car, Even in Winter when the streets are a Little Snowy. We (5 people) have been there in March with a rentalcar. Juha is so friendly, Helpful and polite! He Went icefishing with us on the lake and offered us warm Drinks and Snacks. The best things of the Villa were the Sauna, the whirlpool and spotting the polarlights out of the livingroom. I can absolutely recommend Juhas Villa and Iâd love to come back, maybe in Summer next time! Everything was Perfect, thank you!

Aurora Jacuzzi Lodge
Had a very pleasant stay. The views are amazing and the hot tub was perfect! The house is very clean and well built. Itâs a short 30 minute drive from the city which also means wonderful night sky without any light pollution. Felt like locals during our stay here!

Deep Lake Cottage
We were a group of 6 adults, and we all fitted very nicely in this wonderful cabin next to the lake. The silence of the forest was at times solely interrupted by the chirping of the birds. We felt right at home in the cabin, which was equipped with all we needed. For instance, the cabin had lot of amenities to cook, and towels and linens were available as nicely described. Within drivable distance from Rovaniemi, it was the perfect choice to spend time in the Finnish nature. The fireplace next to the lake and the private sauna made our stay unique. We highly recommend this place for medium sized groups who enjoy outdoors and having privacy and alternate the visit to Rovaniemi attractions with calmness and slow paced life of Finnish mökki. We had no troubles in driving with a van through the muddy road that runs through the hill and forest to reach the cabin in spring time. Thank you so much for the lovely stay!

Rauhala, Lake Cottage
We had a lovely stay with our two children ages 1 and 3. Natalia went above and beyond with fresh flowers and groceries for breakfast, this was a really thoughtful touch to the stay. There were gates for the top and bottom of the stairs that gave us peace of mind with the children. The home is cozy and attractively decorated. The location is breathtaking right on the lake with an authentic sauna and barbecue hut available to use. We highly recommend this home and location if you're looking for a traditional private lake cabin. We really enjoyed the remote location, note that it is 20-30 minutes to Rovaniemi and as described, make sure to come with a vehicle that can drive on dirt and gravel roads.

Hadrian's Villa
We had a wonderful stay here. One of the most beautiful and peaceful places we've ever been. The sauna and hot tub were perfect to get out of the cold, the bed was very comfortable, and the kitchen/ living area was well done and had everything we needed. We were also lucky enough to see the northern lights just walking outside. We couldn't have asked for more and will certainly be back!

Studio in the center, Wi-Fi, free parking
The accommodation was perfect for our stay in Rovaniemi. The flat is very central and there are many restaurants and shops nearby. The flat is furnished to a very high standard and you immediately feel at home. I can really recommend it! Leena is a great host and was always easy to contact.

PiAni City Apartment - 5 (6) persons, free parking
It was great! The apartment is super central, you can do a lot on foot. It is modern and has everything you need.

Lainaanranta Apartment
We traveled with our 7-month-old baby and Hanna-Leena was very accommodating with everything (in-cancellation, etc.), which made our trip very successful! The glassed-in balcony was perfect for naps and our sweetheart enjoys bathing so the tub was a bonus. The location by the river was perfect considering all the activities we wanted to do.

Apartment Kirkkolampi
Very friendly host, we were hosted well. Asko took the time to explain how the different amenities in the accommodation worked and gave us several tips to make the most of our stay.

Stunning 1-bedroom flat in the center of Rovaniemi
Our stay was absolutely perfect! The apartment was spotless, cosy, and felt just like home. The location was unbeatableâjust a short walk to the city centre and the Arktikum museum, making it easy to explore. Everything was well-equipped, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. Abel was an amazing host, very responsive and flexible, making check-in and our entire stay smooth and enjoyable. We truly appreciated his hospitality. There was nothing to fault, and we loved every moment spent here. It was the perfect place to relax after a day of sightseeing. The attention to detail made our experience even better. We felt comfortable and well taken care of throughout our stay. If youâre looking for a clean, cosy, and well-located place, this is it! We highly recommend staying here and would love to come back again in the future. Thank you for such a wonderful experience! Thank you again Abel !!

Home away from home in the capital of Lapland
