Hotels near Kemihaara

Good hotel because the staff makes it so, there’s nothing so special about the accommodation, as we’ve initially thought, but we still enjoyed. Excellent location in the forest, not too far from Santa’s village. Very friendly and helpful personnel, the make up for the hotel’s shortcomings. :) The lake Finnish sauna is a must!

Very lovely host who didn’t mind that we arrived too early. He even gave us a bigger cottage which was amazing! Very nice fireplace and had everything we needed. Comfortable beds and great location. We loved it!

The view over the lake is beautiful. The host greeted us upon arrival and showed us the igloo and shared cottage facilities. The igloo was better than I thought. There was enough space for us to open a suitcase and leave it on the floor etc. The toilet was fine to use during the night. The bed was a little small but cosy and comfortable. The heating was very good and we were very warm all evening. The digital panel for the lights by the bed was very good. We were able to park our car on the frozen lake right outside the igloo which was great. The shared cottage was very clean and cosy too, with some food bits such as pot noodle etc and hot drink sachets.

We had the most amazing night in this cabin, when we arrived we got a very warm welcome from Teemu. Later he texted us an aurora alert was active, and indeed we were blessed with an amazing show, the frozen lake was the best spot to watch it from. The accomodation and sauna were also very comfortable, despite a temperature of around -20C. We would like to thank Teemu for the amazing night we had, which will forever be in our memory. We highly recommend this place and will certainly come back if we ever go to Finnish Lapland again.

The whole location is magical. We stayed over Christmas week to New Year. Watching the northern lights and fireworks at midnight was like a dream. We arrived in the dark and waking to the vuew if the frozen lake was amazing. The host is very freindly and accommodating. The house was dressed for Christmas which was a lovely touch. On arrival his family had dug out slides in the snow for the children to aledge down to the frozen lake. Lots of sledges there to use. There is a very steep long drive down to the location and thr hosts advice for a 4x4 should be followed in winter. A snow plough came one day to clear it for us and the host helped us off the drive the first night. The last night we left the mini van at the top in case we couldn't get out on his advice. It's a steep 4 min walk to the top but doable for a regular unfit person. The location feels like you are o. The edge of civilisation its so quiet and remote. Easy 45 min drive to all the main hub and santa claus village for the days you venture out but you could easily just stay in the property and enjoy the facilities and powder snow. The host showed us around on arrival and how to use the hot tub sauna and fires. He also whatsappd us when the auras were due which was a lovely touch. The fire pit hut is so lovely to use in the winter. The sauna and hot tub are both very warm even in -16 temperature. The shower is outside in the sauna but it's so hot you don't notice the cold walking back the 10 seconds to the main house. The house is beautifully decorated and clean. 2 singles in a loft room and a ground floor double with lake views. There is a double sofa bed in the lounge with large tv and great WiFi. The kitchen has ample crockery cooking and cleaning facilities inc hoovers etc. There is a washing machine in the bathroom which was useful too. We would love to return in the future. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us.
