Arctic Lakeside Holiday Cottage near Ivalo - Minna-Carita's

De gastvrouw was erg hartelijk en reageert supersnel. De plek is fenomenaal, een bijzondere Finland ervaring, aangevuld met de optie om van de traditionele houtgestookte sauna gebruik te maken. Heerlijk om in het meer te zwemmen en te genieten van het uitzicht.

Niiets

Location by lake, great for seeing Northern lights; traditional wood fired sauna with ice hole to dip; very friendly and accommodating host; cosy chalet

Further from main road than expected; lighting inside could be improved.

The peace and tranquility

Nothing

The cabin was absolutely beautiful - so cosy and very clean. Minna ensured we had everything we needed, including adding in a microwave and travel cot to ensure our stay with the baby was comfortable. The view from the window was more than we could have imagined, to wake up here each morning was an absolute dream, we miss these views terribly. Minna met us on arrival and took us straight over to the property to show us around and explained everything really clearly. We were nervous about using an arctic toilet but this was nothing at all to be concerned about and did not have any impact at all on our stay. The sauna was an amazing highlight - again, Minna was wonderful - she spent a lot of time preparing it for us and even popped a baby bath in filled with warm water and toys - our daughter didn't want to get out! My husband and son both did the ice dip in the lake - a huge highlight for them both! The family were just lovely and made our stay super special. There was a slight issue with the door during our stay, Minna could not have done more to rectify as quickly as possible and make sure we were comfortable whilst it was being addressed.

There was nothing that we could complain about - you will not regret booking this property. Please, if you are considering booking this, go ahead and secure it!!
