We stayed in one of the cottages with a sauna. We loved it. Our cottage was right beside the Forrest.
The cottage was lovely with cooking facilities. Market store at SCV made it easy to take a few meals instead of eating out always.
We really enjoyed our stay, and loved our time in Lapland. Highly recommend!

Staying in this property made our trip magical. It was a pleasure to return from an outdoor activity to a cozy cabin, spacious and equipped with the amenities to feel like home. The only thing we found interesting (and maybe this is a cultural difference) is that daily cleaning included making the bed and changing towels only. We are used to full cleaning. But a minor detail.

Right near the Santa Claus reception is the entrance to the Holiday Village, and you can park right next to the cottage. It's also very convenient to walk to other attractions in the village.
The room is quite spacious, and the toilet includes a sauna, it’s really relaxing. The breakfast options are more than we expected, and the food quality is quite good.
ps. through the gift shop to access the breakfast restaurant
