We didn't expect it to be this beautiful, it was an extraordinary experience. There were breathtaking views from the windows and outside in general. We got lucky and saw a family or deer walking right past our window! Everything was clean and tidy, outside there was also snow equipment like boots and clothes of all sizes, sleighs, ski's, ice skates etc. Near the equipment shed there was also a Northern light tower where you are able to get an amazing view of the aurora. There was a community fireplace where you get to meet new people, start a fire and have some food! Overall, I will definitely be going again!

Juha was very helpful throughout our stay

The peaceful and stunningly beautiful winter landscapes of the journey from Ivalo and the location itself, the modern and well-equipped cottage, and the genuine warmth, care and attention from owner, family & local Sami people, ensured that my trip to Lomatarppi in Utsjoki will be treasured for many years. The text alerts to go see the aurora in the sky above Utsjoki, from the purpose-built viewing tower were useful plus I had a most enjoyable visit to meet a local family and their reindeer and snowmobile.

Unfortunately, there's always a need to leave, but a return trip with family and friends is assured.

The stay was absolutely perfect! We really enjoyed the apartment and the whole holiday village. Juha was a perfect host. We especially loved the sauna and the fireplace, as well as the magnificent river view!

There's nothing we didn't like 😀

If I could give this place 20/10 I would, everything was just perfect! Location, cabin, Juha and the family, everything was free to use (sled, ski gear, warm clothes). I am definitely returning and would recommend staying here to everyone

I LOVED everything!

The cabin and the surrounding area was beautiful. Big windows to see the river and a big patio to have your morning coffee in the fresh air. The host was very welcoming and friendly and helped us quite a bit in arranging activities.

The heater in the sauna didn’t work properly. Car/bike is needed to access the local town.

Excellent and peaceful location with a nice view to a river and fells

Breakfast not included, Location was perfect in a nice quite place. Living room window and front door facing Norway on the other side of river

The connecting road from main road to cottages (nearly 220-300 mtr) should be maintained better. They need to keep bigger equipment to keep that road clean from snow and slush

The location, modern facilities, spacious rooms, sauna, heating and staff. Free bonfire room, ski equipment etc were great. Got to see Northern lights from the heated living room sitting next to the fireplace.

Everything was perfect

the aurora tower is nice ! warm clothes are provided too

Modern Cabin with all facilities one could wish for.

Very cozy cabin with nice fireplace and sauna. If I ever was in the region, I'd stay there again.

There was nothing to complain about.

It was warm even in the cold winter, and the overall atmosphere was pleasant. Best of all, there was a fireplace and the atmosphere was even better.

The lighting in the living room was too dark

I liked everything. It felt like the host was doing the job from the bottom of his heart. The location could not be better. The kitchen had all the equipments we needed. We also tried the barbecue hut. Parking lot was big enough for two cars. I’m sure we will visit again. Highly recommended!
