Do NOT come to this house
I wasn't able to contact the host during my stay and somehow neither can I do it now. The host might reply to my comment, like she did to another person, saying that I'm being "vengeful" lol. You'll see that is not the case, I didn't even get to meet the host personally. Read the other comments very well and you'll find them odd, I wish I had done it and realized they were probably all fake. When I booked the stay, there were "comments" from people from my home country and now they are gone, I wonder why.
The majority of the house does not correspond to the pictures. When I arrived, the house smelled terribly because the host left wet bed sheets inside the house to dry. She left garbage in the kitchen, the utensils were dirty and there were tons of opened old food and alchohol in the drawers.
I cannot stress enough about how disgusting my room and the sauna were, and how she didn't even try to hide it. It is completely shameful to do this to another person. She didn't even put sheets in my bed, everything had yellow stains and the mattress had literally dry blood in it. There were also drawings of literal political criminals hanging in the bathroom, and it's completely out of touch with reality to have this when you know people from other cultures and countries are coming to stay in your house. She even left us a huge list of do's and dont's, hypocrisy at its best... As a person with respiratory problems, including sinusitis and allergies, do not come to this house for the sake of your health. The pictures, especially the sauna, will speak for themselves and you'll see how everything is true.
Unfortunatly, it really was my worst stay through Booking ever. I'm rating it a 1 because I can't give it less.

A perfect festive breakaway in a cosy family home!
So much space

Responsiveness of host
All the snow toys, ski's etc
Nothing!
Would say some things areca little dated, but didn't detract from our stay. It was homely and

Comfortable, cosy, functional home which we would recommend
We had a wonderful 5 night stay. Beautiful building with an amazing garden, absolutely perfect for the children to play in and enjoy the snow in safety.
We really appreciated all the extras included like sledges, snow toys and, whilst we didn’t use them, the cross country skis, ice fishing equipment and bikes.
There was a pretty lit Christmas tree in the lounge on our arrival, which was a lovely surprise, and fantastic fire / stove as well.
Communication with the owner was faultless with prompt replies both prior to and during our stay.
Detailed instructions were appreciated although perhaps these could be checked for translation to provide more clarity.
We really enjoyed having access to the sauna and this was easy to use.
The home was cosy when we worked out the heating controls! We all found our beds very comfortable.
We used taxis to get around but there is a driveway if you have a car. (Menevä were excellent and taxi to SCV was around €53).
We would absolutely recommend this property, very well equipped, comfortable, excellent value and worked well for our family stay.
- property decor, fixtures and fittings are ‘tired’, whilst functional, the fittings were not modern
- the kitchen is well equipped, but could do with updated glassware, chopping boards and additional cutlery to replace damaged, chipped items. Extra set of glasses would make a big difference.
- would have been appreciated if the underfloor heating in the porch had worked as due to the extreme external temperatures, there was ice on the inside of the windows in the porch. No big deal though!
- sadly due to weather conditions out of owners control, the igloo was found collapsed on our arrival and owners were not able to repair it during our stay due to extreme low temperatures.

War okay, aber würde es nicht empfehlen
Die Lage ist echt super, sehr ruhig, mit dem Auto schnell überall hingefahren, Lage am Fluss war Mega
Auto kann direkt vor der Tür geparkt werden
Haus und Garten sind sehr groß
Schlitten, Angeln, Langlaufski & co vorhanden
Gastgeberin war sehr nett
Authentisch stand leider für sehr alt, kaputt und dreckig
Das Haus ist sehr schön aber es muss dringend Geld reingesteckt werden
De ligging was fantastisch. Iets verder van centrum maar met de bus prima te doen. En voor de Noorderlichtliefhebbers juist weer fantastisch.
Eigenlijk was alles goed. Misschien niet helemaal gestyled, zoals ik het zelf zou doen maar dat is een keuze.

És una casa amplia, còmode, neta, amb un Jardí gran... ben equipada, 2 habitacions còmodes. Cuina molt pràctica, ben equipada, amb menjar bàsic (cafè, sal...), sabó per netejar els plats, la roba... La sauna va ser genial, una gran experiència! El Jardí també molt xulo però l'iglú NO hi és (jo havia llegit algum comentari en aquest sentit quan la vam llogar). Hi ha trineus i altre material d'exterior que vam aprofitar. La veritat és que molt bé! Molt bones instruccions i indicacions per part de l'amfitrió I molt bona ubicació, al costat d'un llac!
Per dir alguna cosa, que la 3a habitació era freda, pero no la vam haver de fer servir perquè n'hi havia 2 més, amb un llit de matrimoni i dos individuals junts.
