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!

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

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!

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 Christa’s place well equipped with everything walking distance to everything. Would highly recommended. Thank you Michael and Tracy

Home next to Ounasjoki
Had a great stay, lovely host. Very helpful. Fantastic location. Just what we needed.

City Apartment River & sauna, balcony, free WiFi
We had a lovely stay here. The flat is very close to the city centre and all the pick up locations for tours. It’s also right by the river. The flat itself is lovely, very cozy and the sauna is great. Niina (and her daughter Ella who came to meet us) were great hosts. Very responsive, friendly and helpful.

Lapland Country Retreat / Pirtti
Our stay at Tarja and Scott’s house was one of the best adventures of our lives. Even before the trip, they were very kind and helpful. When we arrived, we were warmly welcomed and had everything we needed. The house was cozy and warm, with plenty of firewood. There is also a beautiful kota near the house where we could cook on the fire and watch the northern lights. We were lucky to see the aurora five nights in a row. Scott also gave us great advice about hiking and kindly let us stay a bit longer on our last day. Before we left, we had a nice talk and learned more about his life. We will always remember this peaceful place by the lake and hope to return one day. :)

High quality riverside cottage
Amazing experience. The location is great for seeing auroras (we saw them!) and only half an hour from Rovaniemi. The lake is very beautiful. The cottage is very well equipped and cozy. The only issue we had was the door locks which are not intuitive. The host's communication was very good. I highly recommend this accommodation!

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 😊

Villa Liipi
Juhas Villa is one of the best accommodations i‘ve been to during all my Journeys. It‘s located very beautiful and private near a huge lake. The Villa is spacious and equipped very well. It‘s 30 minutes from Ranua by car away. So it’s a good Place to visit for example the Ranua Wildlife Park. We also Went to Korouoma Canyon from Juhas Villa. It’s 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 I‘d love to come back, maybe in Summer next time! Everything was Perfect, thank you!

Lapland Hygge House
The house and surroundings are absolutely stunning. Me and my group all agreed it was the best Air BnB we have ever stayed in, hands down! I would highly recommend this property, you won't regret it.

Grandma's home
Good location, nice ambient

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!

Riverside Villa Nietos
Such a great home minutes from the center of Rovaniemi and on the river, clean and welcoming space, comfortable accommodations, responsive host, and everything you can ask for. Would highly recommend to visitors.

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 unbeatable—just 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 you’re 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
