Lovely stay
We stayed in Appartment F. The site is beautiful and well cared for. It's about 20 minute drive to Rovaniemi. The site is next to a river which froze over winter. There is a lovely hut here which has an evening fire. You can also ice bath and enjoy a hot tub here. The room we stayed in was incredible. It included a sauna which was very welcome. The room was big, cozy and well equipped for our stay. The beds were super comfy and had a lot of room around them too. The staff were helpful and friendly. Breakfast was a lovely buffet which included cooked items as well as local cuisine.
We will be coming back and I would recommend others to visit!

Ympäristö kuntoon
Siisti. Ystävällinen, hyvä sänky. Ympäristön luonto on kaunis mikäli se osattaisi hyödyntää paremmin. Romut ja ympäröivät rakennukset antavat teollisuusalueen leiman.

Ääni eritys aika kehno huoneiden välillä, kuului todella selvästi seinän takaa toisen huoneiston keskustelu jota jatkui myöhemmälle yötä mitä itse valvoi. Korvatulpat olisi täytynyt olla.
