    Pros +

    • The location is remote and quite. The owners are the sweetest couple and take pride in their property. They took us in, showed us around with pride and made new friends. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fantastic view. Peace and quite. A+
    • Everything, I want to go back ? Amazing views, quiet and calm place. Nice and friendly staff. Place well maintained, everything works.
    • We stayed in the birdhouse lodge, and it was perfect. A big window facing the valley side gave us an amazing view. There was a private sauna in the lodge was also a good touch. Room was perfectly clean and bed was big and comfortable. There was a small kitchen but we didn’t use it. In general you can find all you need.The whole environment was great too. Main facility provides a lot activities and info or advice about how to enjoy the stay. The host Lids was extremely friendly and helpful. Thank you for everything during our stay ?

    Cons -

    • We had to pay extra for our linens. That was not expected
    • There was nothing we would not like.
    • In general, nothing we didn’t like. Maybe I should say that we should have been staying longer?

    Amazing location on top of a mountain, superb views, modern facilities

    When we went to check in nobody was there to show us to our accommodation we spent 30 minutes trying to find where our cabin was. The English speaking guy was driving so told me to call the other worker who didn’t speak much English so we were a bit stuck trying to find our way about especially at 5pm in the dark. I think for the money you pay there should be someone there to check you in and show you to your cabin, the only other negative was the bed wasn’t comfy. I woke up each morning with a sore lower back from the bed. Not sure why but it just wasn’t right and that made my sleep uncomfortable otherwise a good stay

    The views were magnificent. The bird nests are perfectly oriented towards the sunset over the forest and lakes. Truly stunning. It seems to be a family-run business, which shows in the care they provide and tidiness of the place. Detail we loved: the soft, warm bread for breakfast. Stay at Arctic Giant, you will not regret it! I cannot stress the views enough.

    10HilkkaPosted on: 7-28-2024

    Beautiful views From room. Great breakfast And dinner. Entirely quiet.

    10CoradpPosted on: 3-12-2024

    - the location is amazing, at the top of the hill surrounded by snowy trees and a frozen lanscape - the Luxury Birdhouse is so beautiful and spacious, and the private hot tub is a very nice touch in freezing temperatures - the staff were very friendly and accomodating, I appreciated their flexibility since I had some dietary requests and they fulfilled all of them - the food is delicious, the Giant Soup is probably the best soup we've eaten and the veggie meal I ate for New Year's was fantastic - snowshoes and sleighs are free of charge and there are very beautiful trails around - although it's situated in an isolated area, you can find two well stocked supermarkets, a pharmacy and other basic facilities at about 20 min drive

    - we could not find a single thing we didn't like, thank you!

    10TautvilasPosted on: 1-27-2024

    Outdoor hot tub with aurora in the sky was a reward after trip from Helsinki. Sauna is also nice. Electric beds and the outside view from the bedroom is also really nice.

    10Mahr0Posted on: 12-30-2023

    Everything was wonderful the room , dinner , breakfast and the amazing experience of riding snowmobile

    Beautiful surroundings, good apartment

    Note that apartment is located in ground floor, no views

    10Dalila S.Posted on: 9-24-2023

    This place is from fairytales. It is in the middle of the forest and when we visited, everything was frozen and white. Our house was amazing, very clean and tidy, with everything we needed. The sauna was great as well. From the main property you have a breathtaking view. I wish I'd stayed longer.

    Nothing to add here. Everything was great.

    10VimeshaPosted on: 9-1-2023

    With the Gorgeous views, friendly and accommodating staff, Cozy and comfortable cabin our stay was 10/10. We were blessed with the best sunset views right from our cabin as well

    Road to the property was not in the best state but we went for a staycation and didn’t really mind that

    + Very friendly staff,+ very clean apartment,+ good breakfast which was brought to our cottage by the staff, especially the reindeer pie was tasty,+ own sauna at our Keltasirkku apartment.

    - Outdoor staircases at the main building had thick ice on them, better watch out!

    10EmīlsPosted on: 3-6-2023

    The facilities and view were amazing, and the staff was very friendly and accommodating. We’ll definitely come back here again. Thank you for the great experience.

    10Lady_starPosted on: 1-7-2023

    It was one of the MOST AMAZING places I have ever been to! Remote enough, on the top of the mountain and frozen everything -- but the room was equipped with sauna and cosy-looking fireplace. In the morning the host brought us a pot of fresh coffee and invited us to take a tour around the premises. I so wish I could stay longer! This place was truly magical and I cant wait to go back ❤️

    Nothing, that was a perfect place.

    10AiridaPosted on: 1-2-2023

    Amazing place with spectacular views. Highly recommend. Staff was friendly, very welcoming and helpful.

    10ArminPosted on: 3-6-2022

    One of the best experiences I ever had, very clean and nice place with a amazing location and view. The staff were very nice and friendly and helpful. I will definitely come again. Highly recommended!

    Everything was great!

    10TiiaPosted on: 3-4-2022

    You have to arrive there before sunset, this is important. We had the Junior Suite with lake view and it was really amazing, also the sunrise. This little house has very nice design, all you need is there, very well fitted in, a shower and little sauna, seating area and kitchenette. The beds are very comfortable. Must come back next year. So many to do around, walk, ski, motorsledge ride in wintertime.

    10NinaPosted on: 1-20-2022

    It was the best view that we ever had, and also such a beautiful forest. Kitchen, Sauna, everything was just so good, we totally recommend it!
