    A very good option to stop at overtaking. A simple lodge, but washing/sanitary facilities are good, as well as a sauna. Definitely a good place for a nature holiday with your family, alpine skiing centers are not far away either. Breakfast like at...

    Encore merci à Viktor et Pauline pour leur accueil ! J'ai passé un excellent séjour dans leur école. Les petit-déjeuners et dîners étaient excellents et originaux en plus d'être adaptés à mon régime végétarien ! Le cadre de cette école réaménagée...

    Entinen vanha koulu jota oltiin remontoimassa majoituskäyttöön. Ihanan persoonallinen paikka. Aamiainen oli tehty suurella sydämellä.

    Sijainti oli hyvä meidän tarpeisiin yhden yön pysähdykselle. Omistajat olivat ystävällisiä ja avuliaita. Kohde vastasi hyvin kuvausta. Saunaankin pääsi halutessa.

Hei and welcome to our partly renovated Old School above the Arctic Circle! What's great about our place? If you love wilderness, outdoor activities, and meeting new people from different cultures, then this is the right place for you! Although if you just want to enjoy the nature around you in a calm and quiet environment, this is also the right place for you! Here you will find consumable farm products such as milk, cheese, bread etc and have access to all our land and lake. The dorm room consists of 4 single person beds along with space for clothing and view on the lake. The library-corridor and cozy room are at your disposal. The latter includes a full kitchen, a piano, a fireplace, boardgames and more books. About twice per week we turn the sauna on. Feel free to walk around all forest, lake and river nearby. Depending on the time of the year, you can be directed towards activities such as snowshoeing, fishing, ice fishing, skiing, snowmobiling, etc. See you soon!
Traveling around the world for a few years already, I used more hostels and guest houses than I can count. I've always loved the atmosphere of cultural exchange that can be found there, that's why I try to reproduce it in my own guest house from now on!
Neighbourhood? Trees everywhere! Welcome to Lapland (Although we do have a couple neighbours, and there is a small reindeer farm by the river on the other side of the road)
