Kenttäniemi Cottages

My boyfriend and I stayed in the smaller cottage for two nights and it was just perfect. When we arrived, the cottage was already warm from the under-floor heating that had been turned on prior to our arrival. This was very much appreciated in the freezing temperatures :) The location is perfect, not too far from the airport so it was easy to find and get to, but far enough away from the light pollution of the city so we could see the stars and really appreciate the peace and tranquility. Right beside the cottage there is a beautiful lake - obviously frozen when we visited but we hope to come back one summer and see it when the sun is shining. The cottage itself was very cozy and clean. To me it was bigger than expected but very cozy and sweet - perfect for a two night stay. The private sauna was luxurious and an absolute must when visiting Finnish lapland. I saw a lot of reviews talking negatively about the bathroom being through a separate door to the rest of the cottage - but this is standard for almost every mökki!! It was just a step away and even though freezing outside, you can instantly warm up as there is heating in the bathroom too. There is a parking space right outside of the cottage which was extremely ideal and a engine heater outlet for preheating the engine so its easier to start the car. Inside the cottage there was a very informative booklet welcoming us, full of maps and instructions on how to heat the cottage and use the sauna. There was also a fridge and a stove and pretty much everything needed to make simple meals. The owners of the cottage were amazing - very easy to communicate with, fast responses when I messaged with questions, and best of all took us on an amazing visit to the reindeer farm. They picked us up on snowmobiles and drove us through the farm where they then told us all about the reindeer and let us stroke them and take photos. We then went to the farm shop and had coffee and pulla and looked at their products.

The cottage is beautifully decorated and very warm for winter days. The staff was very friendly. We come again. The place is very beautiful in nature, where it is wonderful for peace and rest. But not that far from the city.

everything was great

This cottage is absolutely perfect! We wanted a taste of real Lapland and were not disappointed, the location is outside of the hustle and bustle of the city - down a track and next to a lake (which was frozen), with amazing vista views across it - with clear view to any Northern Lights that may occur (we weren't that lucky). The facilities are spot on - comfy beds for the whole family, a small kitchen for essential meals - plenty of storage for outdoor clothing, bathroom and sauna! \They even had Christmas lights up on the outside which made it magical. The best feature was the helpful hosts and the fact we were next to a reindeer farm - for a reasonable fee - we have a 2 hour visit with the family to feed the reindeer and get really close to them - learning all about how they're reared and cared for. Sanna-Mari was a fountain of knowledge on all things Reindeer and Finland - a wonderful host. My two children loved the reindeer farm and the fact we could let them out to play in the snow - knowing that it was a safe environment. We also had access to a Grillikota - a barbeque hut, where we could grill food - or in our case, roast marshmallows in the cold night. I cannot recommend this place enough for a true Finnish welcome

Nothing at all!

The location in the forest with Aurora sky views over the frozen lake is amazing. The cottage itself is beautiful and had everything we needed. Also the visit to the reindeer farm of the owners was an amazing experience. Sanna Mari provided us all the information about the farm and the reindeers. We had the best time ever and we would love to come back.

The location is stunning, and the cottage had everything we could need with the Aurora right on the doorstep. Exactly what we were after, a beautiful, comfortable, cozy escape without the glitz and glamour. The sauna before bed was perfect.

Did have an issue with the power on the first night, which we believe was being tripped from the kitchenette circuit. It was resolved by the following morning but we were weary of putting on more than 2 devices at a time.

Beautiful cottage, amazing views, we had the chance to see the aurora lights even from the living room. Absolutely worth it the visit to their farm, as well. Thank you so much for everything

The location is remote and on a reindeer farm. The owners picked us up in a sleigh and took us to meet 150 wild reindeer. Such an amazing experience. The lodge was very well thought through with a personal sauna. We walked across the frozen lake and hiked in the surrounding snowy forest. We enjoy hunting the Aurora and this is the perfect location. Uninterrupted northern sky views over the lake. Superb location.

Nothing it was perfect

Everything was absolutely perfect! The location is gorgeous if you’re looking for a quiet place to stay. All the facilities were good, the sauna was clean and perfect for relaxing after a day in the cold weather. The place it’s very warm and you have a beautiful view on the lake and the pine forest. 10 out of 10, we really enjoyed the stay!
