We had a wonderful soul enriching stay here. The house and setting is absolutely idyllic.

We spent 5 unforgettable days in this house with our family and dog, celebrated New Year’s, and were absolutely delighted! This was our first visit to Finland, and the experience exceeded all expectations. We were especially touched by the care of the hosts, who prepared for our arrival so thoroughly that even the cold weather couldn’t spoil our stay. They provided us with warm boots, ushanka hats, balaclavas, and gloves for the entire family — it was a pleasant and unexpected gesture, especially since we weren’t fully prepared for the local frosts. The house itself is simply magical! Warm, cozy, built from wood, with a large fireplace, a spacious living room, two bedrooms, and even a sleeping area on the stove — perfect for those who want to experience the true atmosphere of countryside living. All the furniture is new, the house is spotlessly clean, and everything is organized. We particularly appreciated the many small but useful items that are often overlooked, like zip bags, plastic wrap, a potato peeler, and more. The hosts exceeded all expectations by organizing incredible winter activities for us. They offered sleds, a snowmobile, fishing gear for ice fishing, and equipment for skiing in the forest. Thanks to them, we enjoyed an active and adventurous holiday in nature. All of these activities were available for an additional fee, which was perfectly fine with us. The sauna was a special treat! After enjoying 100-degree heat, it was pure bliss to jump straight into the snow — an unforgettable experience! Unlimited access to firewood made this even more convenient and enjoyable. The house is located in a stunningly beautiful area: you can step right out of the door to a lake, surrounded by a snowy forest. The scenery is breathtaking and creates an unforgettable atmosphere. The hosts were always available, ready to answer any questions, and even helped us with our car before our departure. Their sincerity and kindness truly won us over.

It was the perfect family stay in Lapland! The cottage is located beside a lake, surrounded by trees, and in absolute tranquility - exactly what we've been looking for! The kitchen is well equipped, the beds are comfortable (a lot of extra beds!), clean, and the vibe is very cozy. The host, Juho, is very accommodating and easy to reach. He provided us with clear instructions on checking in/out, how to use the sauna, and even alerted us when there's an Aurora Borealis! We simply had to go outside and the Aurora Borealis is right above the frozen lake, in our backyard! It was truly a magical moment for us! Thank you for this wonderful experience!

Everything. It is the most equipped villa that I’ve seen so far. The kitchen has everything you could need. It is perfect for a group of 8 people. The owner is very nice and he helps a lot with anything you need. You can see the northern lights from the living above the lake. It’ amazing.

Absolutely amazing! This was the Lapland cabin that dreams are made of, with everything you need while still being in the middle of nature. The kitchen was well equipped, there was a sauna and hot tub that worked perfectly, and it was all around incredibly nice and comfortable to relax here. The surrounding nature is beautiful, and asides from the occasional car driving by in the distance (which didn’t bother us at all), it is a very quiet area. Sanna is a great host who was kind enough to keep us updated about the Northern Lights around the property, so we wouldn’t miss out on seeing them. We would love to return!

Our stay at Villa Huilinki was nothing short of perfect. The villa itself was incredibly spacious, offering complete peace —an ideal retreat from the outside world. Everything we could possibly need was provided, and the place was clean. The stunning view added to the sense of tranquility, making it feel like time had momentarily stood still. The hosting family was warm and welcoming, adding a personal touch to our experience. One of the absolute highlights was the unforgettable Northern Lights snowmobile tour, which we booked at a good price. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience that made our stay even more special. If you’re looking for a perfect getaway where luxury meets nature, Villa Huilinki is the place to be. We highly recommend it and would love to return!
