Holiday rentals in Saariselkä

I'm usually not one to write reviews, like most Korean men in their 20s. But this accommodation was so amazing that I couldn't help but leave one. The place itself is spacious, spotless, and perfectly located for seeing the northern lights. From cozy furniture to the smallest details, it felt like the house had everything we could possibly need. Even board games were available when we weren't out exploring. And the Finnish sauna was the perfect way to relax after a day in the cold. Also the host went above and beyond for us—preparing Finnish candies, suggesting some nice restaurants, and even renting us a sled for tobogganing. It's rare to come across such hospitality, and it made our stay even more memorable. If I ever visit Finland again, there's no question-I'd come back here without hesitation. This place was so perfect so that I genuinely hope everyone gets the chance to stay here and enjoy this wonderful place. Once again, thanks a lot for making stay in Finland so special.

We had the most wonderful time with reindeers and northern lights right in front of our door!

Very nice villa, very good location, close to the town centre, close to the hill top which can see aurora easily, Villa was huge, cleaned, warmth, kitchen was well equipped!

We had a wonderful stay in this peaceful cosy cabin. Very special to have our morning coffee in one their beautiful cups overlooking the snowy white forest from the kitchen table . One morning we even saw a white snow rabbit running past. We enjoyed the restaurant recommendations and walking there from the cabin. The kids loved the sleighs to play around the cabin in the snow. Looking forward to seeing it in summer!

Saariselkä is a little gem of a resort for skiing and other winter sports. This property was perfect for our family of 5 to enjoy everything there was to do. It is centrally located so that you are close to everything (most things are walkable should you wish) yet still secluded enough to feel private. Inside, the cabin is cosy yet spacious, impeccably clean and with all of the amenities you could want. Finally, Jenny is an incredibly responsive and caring host who offered some great recommendations and sorted out our one minor niggle straight away. I would not hesitate to recommend this property for you if you are looking for a cosy retreat in the snow.

We had a great time with the kids in Saariselkä. The apartment is easily accessible by bus from the airport. Within walking distance there is everything you need for your stay. Would come back right away. Highly recommend.

Highly recommended !!! This house is absolutely amazing—cozy, spotless, and fully equipped with everything you need. Markku is a fantastic host: friendly, polite, very responsive, and always ready to help. The location is perfect—just a short walk from Central Park and close to the city center, where you can enjoy shopping and relaxing at local restaurants. It’s also conveniently located near the airport, and the surrounding views are stunning. If you’re lucky, you might even spot deer passing by😃 Without a doubt, Ivalo is a place to visit and would love to stay at Markku’s place again 👍🏻👍🏻

We thoroughly enjoyed the time that we spent at Olli and Una’s cabin. The cabin is very cozy - we built fires every night that we were there with the firewood that was provided. The cabin is at the end of the road so it was very peaceful. We ate our breakfast in the cabin very day and felt that the kitchen was very well equipped. The beds were very comfortable!

We stayed at the property for a week and felt very much at home. There is everything you need, the descriptions were great and you can actually reach everything with a nice walk. Near the accommodation there are many activities you can do, otherwise you can relax in front of the fireplace or in the sauna. We would always come back! :-)
