Beach Hotels in Ivalo

We liked everything about the cottage. The location is very remote and authentic. The views are amazing and the cottage is very traditional, warm and cosy

Great studio, equipped with everything you could need. Short walk to town and fantastic host. Would stay again.

It’s a charming place, clean and comfortable.

The Owner Meika was very helpful. He took us around for Snow Mobile and also for Aurora Hunting and around IVALO

Very good hostel. Everything is self-check. The owner is super nice. Big space for chilling and free sauna. Highly recommend!!

Beautiful cottage. It’s a way out of town (check the map) we didn’t have a car but Miia kindly arranged pickup and drop off with a stop at the shops for food. I absolutely loved my stay but I’ve detailed a few differences with this cottages to what you might expect so that you can get an accurate impression. The most important thing is the cottage does not have running water or a bathroom. You will need to bring drinking water, and water for washing/dishes/sauna is hand pumped from a well outside. There is an outside composting toilet, which is perfectly fine and was not difficult to use even as I was there in winter… I just needed to put on a jacket and shoes and was comfortable. The stairs are very steep, not suitable for anyone unsteady on their feet. Downstairs is the bunk bed. Upstairs has a double bed and a single bed (no walls or doors though, it’s an open mezzanine level). Wood for the fire is included and you use dried bark as the firelighters. The central heating kept the house warm even without the fire. The Sauna is attached to the side of the house and uses a wood fire. It takes a couple of hours to heat up. There is also a big water tank in the sauna which uses a wood fire beneath to heat up, you can use this water for washing in the sauna. The instructions state only to use one lot of wood under the tank which was good advice as it got very hot and any more would have made it boil which would be dangerous. Miia also gave us use of a battery powered camping shower so we could wash easily. The cottage is on the river which is completely frozen over winter. It is walking distance from Villa Karhukumpu which we used for activities, where Jrki the owner was very kind and helpful. Overall I found Miia to be extremely helpful as a host, and the place is as beautiful as the pictures.

Nice stay. Nice location. And the Hosts were so helpful and good.

Semi remote area, wonderful views, peace & quiet, great Hosts

The house really was a home and had so many homey amenities. We loved the sauna and the views of the river. It was quite and felt secluded but only about a km from town. As it was -5 to -14 we had a hire car and if you want to do some of the activities highly recommend a hire car

The host is kind and wait for us at the house although we went to the house late than our schedule. The host introduced his house very clearly and nice. And he helped us to find the day, time and the location to see the northern light. We were very luckily to see the northern light near the river of his house during the stay. The house is big and comfortable. It was very big, clean and equipped with washing laundry machine, refrigerator and cooking and eating tools. The house was equipped with sauna room that we loved very much.
