Cottages in Inari

This place is a hidden gem surrounded by stunning scenery. The hospitality and food (optional as you can cook your own) were amazing.

This is a cozy place for a solo trip, especially if your main goal is to chase the Northern Lights. For me, the most interesting—and challenging—part was lighting the fireplace every day. It’s not so easy for someone born and raised in a city who has never had the chance to try it before, but it was absolutely worth it. As for the Northern Lights, there’s a lake right in front of the cabin that feels like your own private viewpoint. It’s wide open, with zero light pollution, so you don’t need to drive anywhere else to see it. During my four-night stay, I was lucky enough to see it every single night, which was truly amazing!

This is an amazing cabin by the lake front! Beautifully and thoughtfully done interiors and amenities. It was maintained well, spick and span!! The communication with Nilla has been easy, and he's available when there's questions. Otherwise the guide that he has prepared for the house has most of the questions answered. Remember to bring your groceries, since there're no shops close by (but being secluded from the town is also what makes this place special). We even saw northern lights from the cabin directly - thanks to the big wide glass panes! Overall we definitely recommend it - since this stay was 100% the highlight of our trip!

The views were incredible. We loved the large windows, and that we could see the aurora and beautiful sunrises from the bed. The sauna was perfect. The decor in the living room was very nice.

This place is beautiful. We spend a week there and enjoyed every minute of it. The cottage is located in a calm environment directly at the river. It is easily accessible by car and an excellent starting point for expeditions. Ivalo is only a few minutes by car and from there you can pretty much go in any direction. As we visited in winter we especially enjoyed watching the northern lights while cooling down on the deck after using the sauna or settling down in front of the fire place after a cold day of outdoor activities. The entire cottage was clean, tidy and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed from comprehensive kitchen equipment to movies and games. The owner were helpful and super responsive and took very little time to reply to our messages.

Great location on Lake Inari, a short walk or drive from the village center. Sinitalo had everything we needed for a comfortable and cozy stay. It was very well equipped and peaceful. Jef was a wonderful host who made everything easy. Would love to return in summer.

The chalet has a great sauna, awesome location, outside grill and terrace with great views. There is everything you need for your stay.

Amazing place, everything was provided even tiniest details were available, the view was incredible and worths visiting both in summer and winter, definitely one of my best stays I have ever had, I have been to enormous number of five star hotels and resorts all around the world and I would definitely say that my stay in Upea villa Lapin Kulta was definitely one of the best experiences I have ever had, will definitely come back
