Our previous accommodation canceled on us and we luckily found a last minute booking with kotatuli. They were all so accommodating. We loved everything about kotatuli wish we could have stayed longer.

We went in December, and it was wonderful. The house is very cozy and warm, and it is placed in a idyllic setting, near a frozen lake. The owners and staff are very friendly and helpful, and we felt very welcome there. Their dogs are very friendly...

We had an amazing time in Kotatuli - staying with a local family (and their dogs) really makes a trip to Lapland very special and personal. Living in the middle of the forest is such a treat to relax and unwind, plus you get to see the Northern...

Company info

Kotatuli is a small family business run by family and friends together. Our values include nature and the well-being of people and animals. We provide B&B accomodation for 2-7 in the mainhouse and an private cottage for 3-4 people in the midle of pinetrees. We also provide experiential nature activities, which are available to our customers by order. Our farm is also home to our dogs and horses, who are friendly and accustomed to visitors. Regrettably we cannot welcome any animal guests, lest our herd continuously be exposed to changes in their pack dynamics. We are more than happy to answer your questions and help make your stay memorable. If you are in need of peace and privacy we offer you the opportunity to do so, but if you wish to get to know us or simply in need for conversation we are always happy to make new friends. Do you want to support a small, local and genuine business? You are more than welcome to visit us!

Property info

The traditional Finnish log house is located 57 km from the center of Rovaniemi, in the middle of the forest, on the edge of the wilderness. The main house was built in 1934 and is made of solid logs in the traditional Finnish way. There is no permanent settlement nearby and the nearest neighbor is 15 kilometers away. Municipal engineering does not reach the manor house, so the tap comes with genuine spring water. There are 3 hectares of land around the building and there is a beautiful view of the lake from the window of the main house. There is an idyllic sauna cabin on the lake shore, which guests can use as agreed. There is also a hut made of gray logs in the courtyard area, where you can light a fire yourself and make coffee or prepare a meal. The hut's benches are lined with warm reindeer blankets and an open fire burns in the middle. You can drink a warm drink from a wooden mug called a kuksa.
