Reviews

We are very happy to had a chance to stay at Miika’s amazing place. ✨ We spent a wonderful romantic week in this lovely cosy cottage, in the heart of fantastic Lappish nature. We had everything we might need (kitchen very functional, bedding comfortable, enough wood for the fire place, shower with essentials, large TV). We had a chance to use a large sauna in the yard, almost brand new, with a nice view over the lake. The surroundings of Miika’s place are just amazing. It’s secluded with the nicest nature trails in the woods and on the lake (campfire lunch was a gem)! Miika’s house is 3 min from the cottage so he is always ready to help or give advice. Miika is a great host, attentive and respectful to his guests. He helped us with the activities (snowmobiles, skiis and sledges) which we so much appreciated. We had the most wonderful wedding anniversary at Miika’s Peace of Lapland. And as a great present from Nature, we were able to observe incredible auroras during our stay! ✨❄

Thank you so much, Mika, for this stay. The place was very well-equipped and even more beautiful in person. It’s very cozy, and Mika is very welcoming and responsive. It’s one of the most beautiful Airbnbs I’ve ever stayed at—if not the most beautiful! You can arrange activities directly with Mika. We visited a reindeer farm and went snowmobiling right in front of the cabin on the frozen lake, which is much better than going to Rovaniemi because you can come back inside to warm up if it gets really cold. The reindeer farm is 20 minutes away. An authentic and exotic experience. A dream come true. Thank you! We’ll be back.

10/10 – A Magical Experience This place is simply indescribable. Nestled deep in the forest, it offers a truly unique experience, perfect for witnessing the Northern Lights in all their glory. Every detail of this cabin has been thoughtfully designed, from the cozy interior to the firepit area, sauna, and surrounding nature. The host is exceptional, making sure everything is perfect for your stay. If I had to describe this place in just one word, it would be magical. Pro tip: The Airbnb photos don’t even come close to capturing the beauty of this place—you have to see it for yourself!
