Really get an adventure to this place and stay there. It is absolutely alone and if you are lucky, you will experience the reindeer up close and even see northern lights over the lake. One would do well to have good equipment there, you're going to need, especially rubber boots !! A very good place for people who are looking for seclusion and the kick.Markus2016-09-06T00:00:00Z
Great Cabin, wonderful location. Had a great time in "splendid isolation"Tim2015-12-23T00:00:00Z
We stayed at Petteri's for 7 days! It was already a adventuere to get there. As soon as you arrive you finally listen to the silence, you throw yourself into the lake to cool off after a sauna. We stayed there at the beginning of NOV so we had to cut a lot of wood to keep the cottage warm. Petteri helped us with every struggle we got in (good bloke he is Yoda would say!!!) Thank you Petteri for this unique experience!!! We'll be backAndreas2015-11-12T00:00:00Z
He was very friendly and familiar, took care of the job in style finish.Antti2016-07-13T00:00:00Z
We had an awesome stay at Petteri's cottage! Even though the first night was pretty tough as we had -10°C inside the cottage we managed to warm up the place to quite comfortable temperatures (+20°C). It's a cosy place with a beautiful surrounding and perfect to experience lots of snow, million stars and absolute silence. We highly recommend this place for an adventurous stay in finnish winter season!Stephan2017-03-02T00:00:00Z
The Petteri "mökki" allows you to make a real Finnish life experience, immersed in nature. The lack of running water and other comforts are not a defect, but the possibility of having a genuine experience. The mökki is taken care of every aspect and looks neat and welcoming. The wood-fired sauna on the lake shore is a fantastic experience. In mökki Petteri we also left a small piece of heart. If we go back to Finland we will be back for sure! Petteri was always very fast in answering and giving us support for any questions or information.Barbara2016-08-21T00:00:00Z
I stayed at Petter's cabin for 3 nights alone. It was quite an adventure but I don't regret anything, it was an incredible experience. I was driven there by locals but then was left behind for my 3 days in the Finnish wilderness, where I didn't speak to anyone and took the silence of the forest in and relaxed like never before. The cabin was well-equipped with the basic-stuff you need. For me it was pretty easy to keep the cabin warm. Petteri took great care of me by answering every question quickly. The instruction of how to get there and how to use the different facilities in the cabin were also very comprehensible. Thank you Petteri for sharing this cabin with the world.Matthias2015-06-19T00:00:00Z
We chose this accommodation looking for an authentic place completely surrounded by nature to feel pure natural environment of Finland. It far exceeded our expectations, as the lonely cottage is located in a prime location in one of the most beautiful areas. The day to day living in the cabin makes you feel fully integrated in nature, feeling the full truth, makes the room into an exciting wild adventure, a throwback to the origins. The cottage, a cozy space with everything necessary for life in the forest. The sauna, a luxury for the well being of body and mind, overlooking the lake, in the woods. The boat, available for both lakes go to easy access to where the cabin is located. Bicycles to explore the area through the forest tracks. Firewood available in abundance to keep warm cabin and sauna to prepare restorative after days in nature, which is indispensable in autumn. In short, we have experienced an excellent experience in every way, highly recommended for lovers of nature in its pure state, or for stays of rest and tranquility.Carlos2016-10-15T00:00:00Z

Reijo is a very kind host. The cabin was well prepared (firewood, warm, a lot of dishes) and clean. It was warm, cosy and very quiet. We enjoyed our stay very much!Felix2016-01-19T00:00:00Z
Ana met us when we arrived, she pulled up on a sledge being pulled by her dogs! The area is quiet and off the road, we only saw two other houses. Behind the property is a beautiful walk right down and across a frozen lake, it is where the Nazis tried to enter Russia from, the area is seeped in history. A beautiful property, in a beautiful area.Sophia2016-12-16T00:00:00Z
The house of Reijo and Anna is a true paradise! Everything is absolutely perfect: the welcome, the house itself that really very charming, maximum comfort (kitchen, bathroom, shower and sauna nearby, wifi), you really feel at home. The house is very well heated (wood stove very effective, and that adds to the cozy aspect of the interior), a real treat when it's cold outside. The sauna is also very valuable, with its private access! Reijo and Anna are of unparalleled kindness, full of good advice for walks and activities, and there are many things to do! The surroundings are beautiful, and the house is a cozy nest where it was fun to go. It is also very well located: starting point for beautiful walks on foot or snowshoes, and 45 minutes from Lake Inari barely (road quite passable in winter). Central Ivalo and supermarkets are 2 minutes, which is very convenient. We will come back !Stéphanie2016-02-12T00:00:00Z
Reijo and Anna are very nice, enough for the stay as pleasant as possible. The house is like the pictures, everything is clean when you arrive. If you have any questions to ask them for walks, skiing, dog sledding ... they will give you useful information and good addresses! The bathroom and sauna are located outside the small wooden studio. One quickly gets used, it is not far at all. The small studio is located near the forest, a pretty lake and not far from a mall for shopping. Convenient ! The stove works beautifully! Bed linen and towels are included. We spent a great week to two.Alméras2017-02-18T00:00:00Z
This cottage was the perfect getaway for a few days I have no complaints whatsoever. It was just as described on the website. This lovely couple was helpful and very welcoming. I will definitely be making another trip back to this cottage. Thank you for a wonderful stay!Kaitlin2017-01-14T00:00:00Z

Reijo and Anna are two wonderful people who invited us for a chat and coffee to get to know each other. They where super helpful by making sure we had enough firewood, arranging a taxi to bring us to the airport, tips where to go in Ivalo and what to see. We could ask them anything if needed. The timberhouse itself is absolutely amazing, with a wood burning stove, a fully equipped kitchen and a lovely living room. Definitely a place which I want to visit again without a doubt!Fleur2015-01-12T00:00:00Z
Our stay with Anna and Reijo was great. Our questions before and during the stay were always answered quickly. We felt very comfortable, and the two are great hosts. The small cabin is very cozy and from there you can directly start your outdoor pursuits. For example, we once borrowed snowshoes from Anna and Reijo. On foot you can also reach the center of Ivalo. If you plan trips with a further distance, a car is recommended. To relax we have often used the sauna, which is located along with the shower in the main house. Especially great was that Anna has given us about it, as it has started one evening with the northern lights. We can really recommend a stay at Anna and Reijo very.Charlotte2017-01-05T00:00:00Z

The cottage is in conformity with the description and tidy. Set in a quiet location, a short car ride from the center of Levi. We spent a very relaxing long weekend at the cottage Minna. Levi's South Point is the nearest lift station which leaves the most convenient Levin chairlift. I would highly recommend the cottages to all our 6-person family recreation there really nicely.Jarko2016-05-03T00:00:00Z
I could not have been happier with my stay in Minna's cottage. It is a beautiful home, well equipped with anything you might need (cooking gear, snowshoes, plenty of firewood, etc.) and is in a stunning location that is quiet and removed at the end of the street, but very convenient with good access to Levi city center and the ski resort. Only 5 minutes drive from the Southern slope access point. We had some issues with our refrigerator breaking and Minna was a superstar, having a new one sent to the house the very next day. There is access to a nice walking/cross-country path just behind the house, with a nice walk to the local reindeer farm by the river only 10 minutes away by foot. Highly recommended for any size group, whether you're a couple for a getaway or a group of students looking to chase the Northern Lights. Oh, and the sauna is great ;)Sean2016-01-18T00:00:00Z
The cottage was very good and everything worked well. Minna kept in touch and made sure that we got all the necessary information and instructions.Jyrki2015-08-10T00:00:00Z
Minna Emilia, You have a lovely cottage and it's been an honor to spend 2 nights there. All was perfect and even better than expected. The only thing that you are not able to manage is the snow. We can imagine how beautifull it must be when the temperature is lower and the snow presents in Levi and all around your cottage. Erika has left a french testimonial on your "souvenir book" or "golden book" as we call it in France (you can try to translate via (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) translate). Once again, a big thank you for your trust and a big congratulation for this nice residence.ERIKA2015-11-04T00:00:00Z
Lovely cottage, it has everything needed (we had our bed sheets). The sorroundings are great to pick up berries. A car is needed to get around. Activities in august are pretty much closed, but we had nice hikes at the national park.Francesco2016-08-16T00:00:00Z

This house is a dream - I had two perfect days and I can strongly recommend the host and the house. Minna was so kind and helpful and replied almost immediately. All thumbs up and I am happy to stay in this house again on my next journey.Rainer2017-02-01T00:00:00Z

The cottage is warm, cosy, quiet and perfect for a relaxing get away, it's well equipped and spacious and we were able to see the northern lights from the cottage. The cottage is far enough away so you feel like you are away from the hustle and bustle but close enough so if you want to pop to the supermarket or town for dinner along with Santa Claus village you can. Would defiantly return!Sam2017-01-06T00:00:00Z

very nice and traditional chalet. Lost in nature, a haven of peace.Emilia2017-02-03T00:00:00Z
Being the first in the house made us a bit jiterry but Anneli and her husband were great hosts! They are flexible and very helpful! Now on to the house. The house looks exactly like the picture, amazing and warm. It is not as far as we thought it is. From Riovaniemi airport, it is about 100km which takes about an hour. It is just one straight road down so its a very easy drive. The shops is about 10 mins away so that is good too. Also, the house is easy to find while having all the privacy you need. It is a great place for kids to stay in and we loved the stay! Thanks Anneli!Janice2015-12-02T00:00:00Z
This is a very nice cottage. We have spend a wonderful night. And the cottage is very cleanly. When we have problem,the landlord help us to solve it. We are well grateful for the landlord. The cottage is very traditional cottage of Finland. I want to recommend this cottage.Kang2015-12-22T00:00:00Z

very pleasant stay in a cottage with crazy charm. Our host is very helpful and trying to make our stay enjoyable. Many facilities facilitate the stay. The location of the cottage is idilique if the wish is to be immersed in the Finnish Nature. Our visit took place during the winter but should be just as lovely in the summer. A big thank you to Anna for putting this property available at very affordable rates.Damien2016-12-24T00:00:00Z

"Wooow!" That was my first thought when we arrived :) It's really fantastically beautiful here. The house is very cozy and the surrounding area is the ideal setting to do so. We felt very comfortable in super from the beginning. The river was still largely frozen in March and we were able to walk with snowshoes over it. Just breathtakingly beautiful, especially since we had the whole time sunshine. We tried the outdoor sauna and heated pool. A unique experience, because you no one can see except a few squirrels and owls :) Who is not accustomed to it might find scary at the beginning maybe a little ;-) One evening we could even see the northern lights :) The man from Anna-Stiina, Samuli, has the same written us a message, so that we do not miss the spectacle! Super nice! He has also taken the day we arrived a lot of time to explain everything to us. Unfortunately, we were only 4 days there, we could have stayed longer.Jenny2016-03-20T00:00:00Z

The house is amazing! We went there a couple of days, with a child 9 years old and it was perfect, just as the photos. The fireplace is just lovely, it was working when we arrived and they leave us lot of wood to keep the fire on! All was very clean and cozy. It was very easy with Jouni, he was responding very quick and kindly all our questions. We went to Lapand to hunt aurora borealis and we moved to Rovaniemi (1h30' from the house by car) to do it. Finally WE GOT THEM!! Really looking foward to come back and stay at this house again.Sandra2017-01-04T00:00:00Z
Tornio is a place filled with a lot of history and culture behind it. Jouni's place is the perfect place for a layover and explore what the town has within. Jouni's place is HUGE... if you have traveling companions and you want some personal space, this couldn't be better. LOL. The rooms are spread across the house with the kitchen, bathroom and toilet located in the middle of it. The place is clean and cozy. I had one of the best time in this place be it dining or watching some local television show. You can't put a finger to why it works, it just works! Jouni was nice to let us settle in and popped by shortly to make sure that we have everything we need. He is an interesting guy! It is a shame that our stay was a short one, it'll be great if we had to opportunity to chill. I recommend this place to people who are looking for a cozy layover and explore the town.Jeremiah2016-03-09T00:00:00Z

Antti and Anu were wonderful hosts. They welcomed me into their home to have dinner with their friends, and set me up in the igloo on their property. The igloo was certainly an experience. It was very neat and stylish inside, complete with warm coffee waiting for me, ice lanterns, and reindeer skin covered furniture. They did a beautiful job. Staying at the Lucky Ranch was a great opportunity to get outside of the more touristy parts of Luosto and see areas typically just enjoyed by the locals. I would highly recommend staying with them to anyone in the area.Robert2016-01-05T00:00:00Z
Annti was very responsive to our request to stay. Sleeping in an Iglo was an amazing experience and will complete your trip in Lapland. Thanks Antti for picking us up!!!Roger J.2016-03-03T00:00:00Z
Antti was a great host who was very responsive to my queries and offered valuable tips during our stay. As the accommodation is quite secluded, Antti picked us up and dropped us off so we could catch the SkiBus to Rovaniemi easily. Staying in the Snow Igloo was an incredible experience and worth trying at least once in your life! To Antti's surprise, we lasted 4 hours in the igloo and surrendered because we felt too hot from being overprepared with all our layers (ha-ha!). Antti does give good advice about preparing for your stay in the igloo, and I'm sure if you stuck to his recommended 3 layers instead of 6, you'll find it a more comfortable experience. Ask Antti to share with you how the igloo was made, it was really interesting and amazing! It was unfortunate that we couldn't stay longer to enjoy the activities offered by Lucky Ranch. I'll definitely plan for a longer stay the next time I head that way again!Yuen Mei2016-12-17T00:00:00Z
We arrived late, Antti stayed up showed us around the property and made sure we were comfortable. The igloo was well constructed and the sleeping bags were very warm. The bed and chair had animals pelts (I presume reindeer), there were ice candles, coffee/tea and gingerbread cookies. The wash closet was in the barn just a few sprints from the igloo. Antti offered to go indoors if we got too cold in the night as well as using the indoor wash closet. In the morning he provided a light breakfast, he provided some insights to Finland and he showed us around the property before we left to drive further north. We saw the northern lights right above the igloo that night! Any has many contacts if you would like to venture into Lapland such as snowmobiling and western riding. There is a ski resort in Luosto not too far from his property. We travelled from southern to northern Finland and really enjoyed the vast beautiful landscape Lapland had to offer. There are only two places we would return to Finland for and one of them is Lucky Ranch!Dez2015-12-28T00:00:00Z
The couple are both very nice people and made me feel welcomed during my stay. Am grateful to Antti for providing me smooth transfer from bus stop-accommodation-bus stop. He ensured I am in time for my bus and even waited with me till I board the bus. Antti was also on time to pick me up on the first day. Not forgetting the awesome snowmobile experience he offered me and the husky sledge ride Anu arranged despite my last minute request! :) Place is considered safe for an Asian solo traveller like me. If you want accommodation which allows you to be close to the nature and away from the noisy city, this will be your best bet.Anna2016-12-12T00:00:00Z
Antti and Anu were such lovely hosts and went out of their way to make sure I was comfortable in their home. It was a wonderful experience in the igloo and I'm so glad I stayed with them during my experience in Lapland. I was able to see the Northern lights and I couldn't think of a better place to experience them. I can't recommend staying here enough! I will definitely be back!Caitlin2016-01-23T00:00:00Z
Oh what an experience! Antti and Anu are a pleasant couple who are very passionate about what they do. They have a lovely property. Igloo was very well constructed with thoughtful detailing in it. Antti's sleeping bags are very warm and cozy that make up the whole experience worthwhile. Even though it was -15C outside, inside the igloo it was -1C just enough to keep the igloo, an igloo :) He had a lovely fireplace outside the igloo with snacks and authentic lappish soup and glogi. Antti also gave us good tips for activities around the area. All in all a must experience!Nirali2016-01-03T00:00:00Z
Igloo is as epic as it looks. But most of all there was the incredibly nice people who welcomed us and showed up on everything we requested and made sure we had everything we needed, invited to dinner and smiled all the time - which made for a memorable experience.Kristian2016-01-25T00:00:00Z

We enjoyed our stay at this amazing county. Anna connected us with a local Andey, who created the full activity agenda for us and was a great guide. We didn't have to think about unimportant stuff like transportation and booking of activities. Our guide always took care of that and also gave us some skiing lessons (he is a professional). Also we caught great view of northern lights, Andrey knows the best locations for that. For future travelers i highly recommend to contact him hopefully he will be available.Vachagan2017-03-04T00:00:00Z

Julia's dad and her 3-year old son don't speak English but still a pleasure to be with. I feel very welcomed and at home here. It's by far the best B&B experience of mine! The house itself is very beautiful with a front and backyard where I built a snowman. The room and bathroom are clean and neat. Very close to Arktikum and Pilke museums, around 20 min walk to city/ train & bus station (otherwise taxi will cost ~12 euros).Peonie2015-11-11T00:00:00Z

The best place to stay in Rovaniemi we believe. We hope to visit and see you again in the future, thank you from Japan \(^-^)/Jimbo2015-12-31T00:00:00Z
I felt really welcome by julia. She welcomed me and my mother sweetly and gave us all the information we might need. Her house is very warming and the room was very nice, clean, warm amd comfy. The beds were very nice! i would absoluty recommend staying here. She even made us breakfast at seven in the morning since we had to go to the airport.Emma2015-08-09T00:00:00Z
We are really appreciate julia and lukas. We spent perfect night in their house. Thank you so much. Highly recommended !! Leaving for Korea in Korean people.

We have had a really nice time in Rovaniemi. Helvi's family have been really kind with us. They invited us to spend a very nice afternoon in ousnavaara hill. The apartment is really in the city town and Helvi leave something to eat in the fridge for aur late arrival. Thanks a lot Helvy and family,Marc2014-12-03T00:00:00Z
I've been to Helvi's house with my sister for seven days and it was all perfect! Helvi was waiting for us outside the house even if it was very cold. She and his housband Tapio were a lovely couple, very welcoming with us and they also left us some food in the fridge. The house is spacious and very clean and it is exactly how it looks in the pictures. It was 50 mts from Lordi square (the main square in Rovaniemi), so the position is very central to shops, restaurants, supermarkets etc. you couldn't be more close to the center of the town. It is also near to the main safari agencies. They left us a list of contact just in case, but really all the stay was very smooth. The apartment is also quiet (never heard any noise). If I'll return to Rovaniemi again (and I think I will because I'm in love with it) I'll certainly ask for their place again! so, I strongly recommend their place. Thanks Helvi and Tapio (and little nephew :-) ), hope to meet you again! Francesca and Elisa.FRANCESCA2016-03-03T00:00:00Z

We had a fantastic 3 night stay in Helvi's flat. It is very centrally located, looks exactly like the photos and really appreciated the food which was left for us in both the fridge and the cupboards.Clare2016-11-13T00:00:00Z
Helvi and her husband was at the apartment to welcome us. She had everything prepared and gave us a very warm orientation. The apartment itself is very spacious and beautifully decorated, something simple and comfortable. Made us feel like we're home. I wish to return soon with my family!Nancy2014-11-26T00:00:00Z
Helvi and her husband were already waiting for us at the door to welcome us we arrived. They are warm and friendly. They showed us the apartment and give us the information on the areas of the city. They had even prepared breakfast for our stay. The apartment is exactly the same as listed. It is very clean and well equipped. Although it is very near the shopping area it is very peaceful and quiet. It was an enjoyable and relaxing stay and will definitely choose this listing if we should visit Rovaniemi again.Pauline2016-03-08T00:00:00Z

Definitely recommend staying here if you're in Rovaniemi!Hannah2017-02-20T00:00:00Z
Kari's apartment was great. It is well located, right in the center, 5-7 mins walk to everything. As well Kari provided free parking near the house.

Kari as a host was very responsive and helpful.Marianna2016-01-09T00:00:00Z

I love this place a lot. The apartment is beautiful and have everything I need in the kitchen, the bathroom and the bedroom. The apartment is in the city center, 15min walking from the bus station and 5min to take a bus to Santa Claus village. I have a wonderful time with my friends. After back from outside, -20oC, we were happy to back the apartment. Heikki and Kaj (Heikki's father) are very friendly. I will come back if I visit Rovaniemi again, and also suggest to my friends.Aniami2015-12-15T00:00:00Z
Heikki's apartment looked like it was recently renovated. It had a well equipped kitchen and a clean, modern bathroom. The place was spacious and perfect for 5-6 people. It is close to the main square and you can easily walk to all the main sights such as arktikum and the Aalto buildings in Rovaniemi from there. Heikki's dad was very communicative and was waiting for us when we arrived. The car could be parked in the garage of the building. I warmly recommend to stay at Heikki's place.Wim2017-03-02T00:00:00Z

Heikki's apartment was beautiful - decent sized rooms, clean, warm & cosy, great wi-fi connection and very centrally located. Supermarket, restaurants, activities, shopping...all right next door ! Bus stop to Santa village is a 5 min walk and 12 mins to Arkitium. We stayed for 4 nights and had a wonderful time. Although we could not meet Heiki, he ensured that we were greeted by his sister. We would stay there again next time we visit Rovaniemi.John2015-12-20T00:00:00Z
This apartment was perfect for our stay in Rovaniemi. We were a group of 5 and found we had more than enough space and everything in which we needed. The kitchen was fully equipped, bathroom large and heated, living space open, spacious and comfortable. It was also very central, right in the centre of town and close to the artic garden - a perfect park beside the lake to see the Northern Lights!! We were lucky enough to see them - and so happy we only had to walk 10 mins from our house to do so! The hosts were very hospitable and friendly and provided us with all the information in which we needed. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone coming to Rovaniemi!Carmen2016-01-09T00:00:00Z

In short: Reasonable price, definately fits for a longer stay.Tsofit2016-08-30T00:00:00Z

Big thanks to Marko's lovely mother Satu and his friend Leonid, we had a great stay in Keminmaa. The breakfast was awesome and we even got to roll in the snow after sauna. Satu and Leonid both we're really helpful about everything, and made it easy to enjoy our stay in Lapland fully. Highly recommended!Henri2017-02-19T00:00:00Z
Had a wonderful experience staying at Marko's place with a good breakfast. The room and house is very cozy and we felt very welcomed there and would not hesitate to book again when in the area.Dragos2016-02-04T00:00:00Z
This is my first time that I booked a room in Airbnb. And that's a amazing experience! Marko and his mom are so nice and friendly! They made me feel I'm back to my hometown! They even prepared breakfast for us. The typical finnish porridge is very delicious! It's a really good trip full of unexpected beauties. Although we didn't see the auroras, it still worth it! We are likely to book again if we had chance to come back to Finland!Annika2016-12-30T00:00:00Z

Me and my boyfriend went to Marko one night to visit the day after Snowcastel but kindness and his courtesy and his mother have conquered. The place is very quiet, beautiful views and absolute peace. Reception, (19:00), Marko offered a The with plenty to eat and enjoy the walk you, you consider that we had dinner as well! The hospitality is precious and rare and Marko brings this value printed us face! To make matters worse they were offered breakfast the next day proposing typical things besides sweets and European breakfast. The mother even without speaking English, is a very nice and cute woman. I highly recommend everyone to visit and be supported by Marko for their stay not only for the things already mentioned above, but also for entertainment and compagnia..inoltre mother gave us all possible gym remedies for passing the cervical!! Really recommended !!! Kiitos Marko ja äitisi;) Michi and RobbieMichela2016-03-08T00:00:00Z
We stayed at Marko's for one night. Marko came to the train station to pick us up and when we arrived at his place his mother had already cooked lunch for all of us! The place is really nice and Marko is the best host ever (he even made home blood analysis for me!).Edoardo2016-09-28T00:00:00Z

Kari was very accommodating, as we had a late arrival in Rovaniemi and he was flexible with our check-in. He gave us recommendations and was very hospitable when he showed us around his place. We love that the place was spacious, had two bedrooms and a TV with USB so we could watch our videos to unwind at night! We like that the place was clean and towels were provided. The apartment is also very near to supermarkets where we did grocery shopping. Ravintola Roka, a highly recommended street bistro restaurant was a 5-minute walk away - we had an excellent dinner there before checking into Kari's place, we highly recommend it too to any traveller (The pork and chips, and Taste of North platter were really nice!) Overall, it was a memorable stay at Kari's apartment and we would not hesitate to recommend others to stay there when in Rovaniemi!Kathleen2016-07-25T00:00:00Z

The Cabin was perfect, very clean, cosy, a modern and equipped kitchen, the rooms were very confortable, we really appreciate the village all people there were so friendy and nice with us...the all activities were very close to the cabin so we could walk around 15 minutes wich is so helpfull; The comunication with Ulf was amazing, He was all the conected giving us all the supportes we need it . We hope coming some day. Rousseau's Familyvinz2016-12-07T00:00:00Z

We haven t met Ulf but he always answered our questions very quickly and cook care of us from a distace ! the CAbin is very nice, very confortable, you will find everything you need and it is well located if you want to try a husky ride or a render ride ! Great experience !fanny2014-02-24T00:00:00Z
We had a wonderful week in Lapland, and this log cabin has played for much ! Like many, we didn't meet Ulf but he was easily contactable. The cabin was exactly like on the pictures and even better. The only thing which is not noticed, is that each cabin are placed side by side by four but it's really not a problem (walls a well isolated and in our case we were almost alone in the PAN Village) Thanks again for this week !Romain2015-02-02T00:00:00Z
This was one of our best AirBnB experiences. Not just is Ulf a great host but the place is amazing and Salla is the place to be; if your looking for lots of snow, not many people, nature and ski resort that feels like family. I don't know really where to start. The house is amazing and has everything - and I mean everything - that you would expect or have at your own house. A kitchen better equipped than our own :), two internet connections (one was stable at between 5-10MB, this was crucial for us as we have an online busines), 2 showers, 2 toilets, etc. Around the house there is plenty of opportunities to go for a walk. Within 5 minutes your are at the lifts - side note if you need a Ski Teacher Vladimir is the best. 10 minutes to a huge supermarket for such a small town. Had everything we needed! Overall an amazing stay, wanted to move in and will definitely be back. Thank you Ulf for having us stay.Oliver2015-12-23T00:00:00Z
The cabin was just as described and was the perfect place to enjoy the beautiful arctic scenery away from mass tourism but with outdoor pursuits nearby. Ulf's quick responses to our questions made sure we had no worries about driving to, and finding, the cabin. The cabin was warm and well equipped with the sauna being ideal after exercise or just to relax.The highlight for us was the opportunity to combine snowmobiling with ice fishing setting out from Sallatunturit just 3km away. We could not have made a better choice!Peter2017-02-18T00:00:00Z
We visited Ulf's cabin the first week of December 2013, and it was truly wonderful! Everything you need is there; a nice and cozy living room, with WIFI, TV, DVD and a fireplace where you can grill some sausages. The kitchen has everything you need (we stayed in and cooked dinner every evening). 3 comfortable bedrooms, a washing machine and dryer, a sauna and the best shower ever In the time we visited Salla, it was sometimes -26 degrees, and everything was covered in snow. Winterwonderland! So beautiful. We even got to see the Northern Light just outside the cabin. The reindeer park is a short walk from the cabin. We went on a Husky safari, which I can recommend! Pure Lapland. About 3 kilometers from the cabin you will find the ski slots, some restaurants and snow scooter hire. About 13 kilometers you will find good supermarkets (and the Alko liqueur store) at Salla. We rented a car, which made traveling around much easier. The communication with Ulf was very good, he replied fast and was very helpful. After a day in the snow it was a warm and comfortable place to come back to. We enjoyed it very much, definitely hoping to come back one day. Thank you Ulf.Mariken2013-12-09T00:00:00Z

Ann is really great host. The driver didn't know the name of the bus station, so she came and helped, and she gave us lots of help and useful information. We felt at home and local people there. The room is really clean and tidy, and it's really unforgettable to live in a wooden house with all beautiful Sami decoration. The sauna was interesting, we even play with snow during it! The star at night was really bright and shining, the wildness was really curing. It will be definitely unforgettable experience. Kiitos avusta ja hauska tavata!Sini2017-03-12T00:00:00Z
We liked: Anri was very helpful and gave us camping gas be concerned and get information about bus etc. and picked up at the bus stop. The house is very clean, we were able to use the sauna and put our luggage for 1 week. Not we liked: It is far from any possibility to supply and Anris fridge is almost empty, so you can not expect any real, even simple meals. That was apparently used to be different. Anri is here itself probably something special in their care.Jan2016-10-16T00:00:00Z
What an amazing place and wonderful host. We would have loved to have stayed for a few more days. We highly recommend staying with Anri. You can see the amazing northern lights from this location.James2016-01-08T00:00:00Z
My wife (Surbhi) and I stayed at Anri's for 3 nights. This was an amazing vacation while we were hunting for northern lights, and waiting for the rare magnetic storm (Kp=7) which we just missed by a day. But the stay at Anri's lovely house and the time that we spent with her well compensated for the missed chance. Anri is a wonderful host and a lovely lady. We spent a lot of time talking to her, sharing meals, and walking around. Special mention goes to the refreshing sauna that is in front of her house, and she went extra miles to help us enjoy everything to the fullest. The house is not far off from Saariselka, and can be approached by bus, but it is best if you have a car. The surroundings are extremely peaceful and make way for an extraordinary experience. I must also mention and thank Anri for being our excellent guide for the trail we walked in the nearby forest. We tasted nice berries, drank super clear water, and saw reindeer herd. She explained many things to us and the 4 hour trail in the arctic forest was totally worth it. Everything in the house was so close to nature and has been treasured by Anri. I would definitely recommend the place to all aurora hunters, who search for another nice place to stay before or after a night in the igloo village. Also ask Anri for some of the tasty roasted lapland potatoes and berries. Thanks a ton Anri, we loved Ivalo and Finland more because of the stay at your place. We hope to be back soon for more auroras.Rahul2015-11-04T00:00:00Z
Anri's home was so comfortable and cozy. She made us feel so welcome and is so helpful in providing information. She is very sweet, I recommend her place to all!Daisy2016-03-26T00:00:00Z
Anri is so nice and the place is so beautiful,living with the forest and river,sun and moon,and all the sky of stars!You can hear nothing but silence here,sometimes the wind. In Chinese,we call it "世外桃源". Really wonderful for relaxing.Danqing2017-02-09T00:00:00Z
It was our first expirience with Airbnd and it was really amazing how Anri offered us her really lovely place in a romantic area of Lappland. The house is very well equiped and very comfortable. Thank you Anri, we will come again. Heinz & Cathy from SwitzerlandHeinz2015-07-23T00:00:00Z

The process of making genuine shell cordovan leather is rare art. Only one tannery still practices this centuries-old method of pure vegetable tannage and hand finishing in the country. Alden boots are available in this exclusive, specially-crafted leather.
It takes six full months to complete the tanning process for shell cordovan, resulting in leather that is soft and supple yet also very durable. Because of the time and cost of manufacturing this type of leather, many companies opt to use other genuine or synthetic leather types for their footwear. Alden keeps the shell cordovan industry alive by continuing to design and manufacture shoes made from the material.
The classic patterns that are distinct in Alden boots and shoes take on a unique character when made from genuine shell cordovan leather. The company has perfected the art of crafting stylish, old school-inspired American footwear that is both comfortable and durable.

Initially, PartyGaming priced its shares at £1.16 each, giving a market value of £4.6-billion and guaranteeing a place in the FT-SE 100-stock index of blue-chip British companies. Amazingly, the stock traded at heights of £1.325 and trading closed 11 per cent higher at £1.29.
Chief executive officer Richard Segal said the group would target Europe and Australia as its main areas for growth, with Asia a 'medium-plus-term' target.
'The reason why we're poker focused is that the group has had extraordinary success there...as a result of that, our other products, casino and bingo, have been to a degree neglected,' he said.

Chapter 19: How the Thug Stole my Heart On Christmas.
I woke up to the smell of Bacon. I rolled over and grunted, because i squished my hard dick. I sat up and rubbed my eyes. I looked out my patio window and saw snow dropping. Thats when it hit me, its christmas morning. I gave myself a smirk and got out of bed. I pulled down my briefs and put on a fresh pair. I went into the bathroom and freshened up. I put on some sweatpants and a shirt and headed downstairs. I heard Mumbling and it must be from Kashmere and Walé. I arrived and they was unwrapping gifts that they had brought for each other. I walked up and said and in the most cheerful tone ever , "Merry Christmas." They looked at me and ran over and hugged me. I laughed and put all the beef with Walé to the side. In the end its christmas. The front door open and Ja'Shon was carrying a box and someone was holding the otherside. I didnt know who that was. I then heard Ja'Shon say, "Merry Chistmas Little Bro."
I finally got a glimpse of the box and it was a freaking Piano. I loved playing and i had a little singing. It had to cost him a fortune. I ran over and hugged him as he lowered the box and said, "thank you."
He laughed and said, "uhh you welcome, but i didnt but you this. I brought you watches, shades, and clothes from your favorite designers."
I then heard a familiar voice say, "Merry Christmas Ka'Shon."
I turned around to see Dre standing there posing like a male model. I smirked at him and said, "aww thanks Dre."
He walked over to me and picked me up and twirled me around and kiss me. I felt so in love. I then realized that my brother, his boss, was in the room. I said, "my bro--"
Dre snapped, "i told him last night. And this gift is just the beginning. Im going to make this christmas your best one yet."
I smiled at him and tippytoed and kissed him again. He wrapped his arms around me and i jerked and said, "oh wait! Yall gifts."
I ran over to the patio closet and grabbed all the bags ive been stashing. I came out and said, "sorry i didnt have time to wrap them."
I dug in the bag and gave Walé a Michael Kors BookBag and a Watch. I handed Kashmere a Prada Bag and A Chanel Baby Collection of Clothes. Then i gave my brother a gift card to Versace. Then i looked at Dre and said, "your Gift is coming soon."
I licked my lips and he squenched his eyes and said, "oh yeah."
I then heard Diamond say, "Merry Xmas Bestie."
I ran over and hugged her. She we handed each other our gifts and i said, "someone is in a good mood."
Well, i am in one. So all that bull crap is in the past. Certain people just cut off, she retorted.
We hugged again and Dre said, "Slim get dress. We have no time to waste."
I smiled at him and headed upstairs to get dress. I sat down on the bed and wrapped my head around the whole situation. This Thug have stolen from me. He stole my heart on this christmas day. I laid back on myBed and smiled into the sky.
"Hold Me Up Slim, I cannot skate."
Ka'Shon started laughing as he grab my arm. I cannot skate for crap, especially on ice. However, My Baby wanted to do it and so thats what we doing. I finally regained focus and we started skating around. We held hand and it was alot of people out here. At this point i didnt care no more what people thought. This is who i am in love with, so fuck the haters.
Slim then said, "so what made you buy me that piano?"
I breathed in and said, "well i heard you singing last night when i came over to drop something off to your brother."
Why didnt you come in and speak?, i asked.
"well i got to the door and had a daydream about us having sex. It felt so real but it was a dream. You are my dream, ever since i first saw you, Ka'Shon."
His face lit up and twirled around on the ice. I said, "okay, keep showing off."
I tried to skate over to him and slipped and fell on the ice. Ka'Shon rushed over and put his hand down to help me up and i grabbed it and yanked him down. He ended up falling on top of me and i rolled him over and he was screaming. I rubbed his face with the mittens on my hand and said, "i love you Slim."
I love you too Dre.
I leaned down and kissed those sexy ass lips and it helped me become a little warmer. It was mad cold out here. He then said, "okay can we go someowhere warm to eat."
I smirked and we got up and i was happy to get my feet off of these skates.
We sat at a table inside Benihanas waiting for our food. I stared at Ka'Shon and started smiling. I then said, "Bae lets talk about the Rita situation."
Ka'Shon face got sour and i stated, "i go to the doctor with her in a week or so. She said she keeping the baby. However, that does not mean that i wont be with you. I love you and i will be ther for my child. Im going to take care of my fatherly duties. Also, that doesnt mean i would be fucking rita or being with her. You understand?"
Yea i do. I just was hurt that you got her pregnant and i know thats something every boy want a child to call theres and please i wasn't worried about Rita ass. My Pussy wayyy bettter and tighter than hers, i retorted.
"Oh so you felt like i was going to leave you because you cant give me a child? Thats not right and besides we can adopt or do the surrogate crap. I was lookig up stuff. And Rita pussy good so you saying yours better?"
He bit his bread and whispered, "its nothing better than a tight , virgin, wet pussy . You better just hope you dont nut fast."
I last for atleast an hour each round.
We both was quiet and i said, "you getting me hard. You wanna leave and go do this."
Ka'Shon laughed and said, "nope later."
I rubbed my anaconda and let out a slight grunt.
I walked out to the trash and threw the boxe away. I had noticed Hameed father getting out of his car. I said, "Merrt Christmas Mr.Allam."
He waved and said, "Merry Christmas to you too and please Call me Asheem."
I smiled and he said, "why arent you out with your friends?"
I put my hands in my Northface Jacket Pockets and said, "well i havent been a friend to them so yea. Ill be spending this christmas alone in the house."
That makes two of us. Ever Since my son passed away last month, the firm i worked for gave me 8 months off with pay. I havent been out the house. Only to the store. I just left from getting some food. If you dont mind, will you help me bring these things in the house, he replied.
I smiled and said, "sure."
I walked over to his RangeRover and grabbed a couple of bags and he grabbed the rest. I walked into his house and my god was it beautiful. From the spiral staircase to the burning fireplace. I walked into the kitchen and placed the bags down.
I tiredly said, "umm Asheem, you know its only you right. Why did you but all this food."
He placed his bags down and smiled that perfect smild. He was kind of cute for a older guy. He was like 6'2 , 165 all muscle. He had long hair that was pulled back into a ponytail. He had to be like 38.
He then said, "well back when my wife and son was with me. Every xmas we would buy all our favorite food and cook it and eat it. Now its just me and i dont wanna break tradition."
I said, "aww thats sweet. Hameed is watching you from the heavens right now. He would be proud."
I heard dog nails hitting the floor and in ran a dalmation. I ran over to it and started playing with him. I said, "oh my god he is so cute. Whats his name?"
Asheem chuckled and said, "Tyler. I got him as a puppy the day after Hameeds funeral. He has been a great companion."
Yes he is. He rolled over and i rubbed his belly.
Asheem then said, "if you want Walé you can come back over for dinner. Its only me and Tyler."
I got up and looked into his brown eyes and said, "sure. Why not? Matter of fact, ill stay and help you cook al this food."
Thank you so much.
No problem. Its the season to be jolly.
We both laughed and i walked over and started helping him unbag the food.
I then said, " you cool for an old dude."
He cracked up and said, "im not old. Im only 37. I have no grey hair."
He lifted up his shirt and showed off his abs and said, "my body isnt wrinkle."
I said, "well excuse me. You arent old. My bad."
We finished unbagging and he said, "and you are cool for a gay guy."
I looked at him and he winked at me. I said, "gay? Well yes i am."
We chuckled again. I guess the christmas will turn around.
As we pulled up to my house. It was dard and snowing bad. I swear we was having a snow storm. I looked at Dre and said, "i had fun today."
He parked the car snd we jumped out and ran to my door. I knocked for awhile and no one came. I said, "i guess we have to climb up the post to my room patio. Walé must have found something to do."
We ran around the back and climbed up the post and i luckily didnt lock the patio door, ever since Hameed died. I guess im wishing one day he come through it. We got inside and i closed the door and Dre shouted, "Shit its cold." The heat in the house chilled us upp fast though.
I took off my jacket and shirt. I sat down on my bed and took off my jeans. I said, "lets go downstairs by the fireplace, i need more heat. I grabbed some of my blankets and we headed downstairs. The fireplace felt so good and warm. I laid the sheets out and then Dre and I laid down. He wrapped his arms around me and i stared into those hazel eyes. I then started kissing him and taking off his jacket. I climbed on top of him and peeled off his shirt. I stared down at those beautiful abs and nipples and started sucking on them. He grunted and moaned. I licked his nipples so soft. I then trailed my tongue down his happy trail and through the middle of his abs. I unbuckled his jeans and slid them off and through them to the side. His dick was standing tall. He whispered, "dont be scared."
I grabbed the brim of them and pulled them down revealing a massive hard chocolate dick. I started lickikg the head and it taste so delicious. I then put the whole thing in my mouth and started sucking it. For my first time i sure had him moaning loud. I deepthroated a couple of times and i didnt gagged. Dre then sat up and pulled me to him and we started kissing as he pulled down my briefs. I kicked them off and he laid me down and spreaded my legs and went to town eating my Virgin hole. His tongue was so warm . I moaned , "dreee eat it!"
He stuck his head deeper into my hole. Every so often his tongue would slid in and cause me to squirm. All of a sudden i felt a hot mouth of my dick and that surprised me. I looked down and saw Dre going to town on my dick. He was sucking life out of me. He did it so well. He then looked up at me and said, "are you ready?"
As ill ever be baby. I love you.
He put a condom on and said," i love you to."
I slid his dick head into me so slow that the pain wasnt even hurting. It felt loving. He then slid more of his dick in me and it felt so new and so real. He finally got all 11 inches in me and he leaned over me and started kissing me as he grind slow. I called his name so many times. This Dick felt fucking amazing. He started to pick up speed and i started moaning louderr. He was sucking on my neck at the same time. I knew i would have passion marks. I rolled us over and started riding his dick. I was pushing down on his chest and he was demanding me, "ride this dick slim. Ride it."
That made me feel confident, i had to please my man. I spinned around on it and started riding it from the back. He grunted, "gooddamnn you tightt baby."
After 20 minutes. He stood up and started fucking me in the air. I had my legs wrapped around his neck. I felt so good. And this dick did too. He laid back down on the cover and pulled out. He pulled off the condom and we got into a sixty nine and started sucking each others dick. I then started licking his hole and he said, "dont do that slim." I guess he dont want his ass played with...yet.
He deepthroated me one more time and nutted in his mouth. By my surprise he didnt jerk back his swallowed my seed. He got up and stood over me and kept jerking his dick. I knew he wanted to nut on my face. I was a bit scared. He then said, "its coming." That was followed by ropes of cum exiting his dick hole and landing in my mouth. I felt like a cum catcher. He laid down and we wrapped each other up in the covers and with each other. I laid on his chest and said, "i love you Dre."
I love you too Ka'Shon, he replied.
I then stated, "you stole something from me , you thug."
He looked into my eyes and said, "oh yea, whats that?"
You stole my heart.
"Well i promise i will never break it . Ill protect it."
We kissed again and i laid back on his chest and drifted to sleep.
To be continued...

This picture shows a Sikh man selflessly abandoning the strict rules of his faith to remove his turban and place it under the head of an injured five-year-old boy.
Harman Singh has been hailed as a hero after he removed his headware to cradle the bleeding head of the young lad who had just been hit by a vehicle on his way to school.
The 22-year-old was at home when he heard the wheels of a car screeching and rushed outside to investigate the commotion in Takanini, South Auckland, according to The New Zealand Herald.
"I saw a child down on the ground and a lady was holding him," he said. "His head was bleeding, so I unveiled my turban and put it under his head."
Members of the Indian community last night praised Mr Singh for his action, considered a hugely significant act of humanity by breaking strict religious protocol to help a stranger.
Mr Singh acknowledged the rare step he took to help, but said that protocols of his faith did not restrict certain actions in an emergency.
"I wasn't thinking about the turban," he said. "I was thinking about the accident and I just thought, 'He needs something on his head because he's bleeding.' That's my job - to help. And I think anyone else would have done the same as me."
Mr Singh and other members of the public stayed with the boy until emergency services arrived.
The boy's mother reached the scene not long after the collision.
Another bystander Gagan Dhillon said he was on his way to work when he saw the accident and stopped to help.
"There was enough help as there was, but being a Sikh myself, I know what type of respect the turban has," he said. "People just don't take it off - people die over it."
He added: "He didn't care that his head was uncovered in public. He just wanted to help this little boy."
The five-year-old was walking to school with his older sister when he was hit. He is understood to have suffered life-threatening head injuries, but was last night recovering in Starship Hospital after surgery.
Thousands of people have also been commenting on Mr Singh's Facebook page and his story has been shared tens of thousands of times on social media.
One post on Facebook said: "Great symbol of - we are all human beings. We have our individual beliefs, but at the end of the day to care for one another is key."
Another said: "This is why I have high respect for the Sikhism faith. Awesome job mate!"
The 22-year-old, from India, who is in Auckland studying a business course, said he was overwhelmed by the messages of support from around the globe, and was only trying to be a "decent member of the community".

VietNamNet Bridge – Despite a lot of exertions, the Ministry of Education and Training (MOET) still fails to restrict private teaching. Teachers keep private tutoring classes, because the classes are the main bread earner for their families, while students have to go to the extra classes if they want to pass the university entrance exams.
"Extra income" is higher than "main income" The private tutoring classes of LDD, a physics teacher of the Gia Dinh High School on Xo Viet Nghe Tinh Street in HCM City are always full of students. D has three tutoring shifts a day, except Monday and Friday. Especially, on Saturday and Sunday, D spends all of his time on the teaching. The students going to D's classes have to pay 1.5 million dong for three month learning with two shifts a week. Every month, D can earn 50 million dong from the private tutoring classes, much higher than the salary paid by the State budget, just several million dong a month. Meanwhile, in Vietnam, the monthly income of 10 million dong is considered "high income." It's very difficult to book at a seat at D's classes. Students need to begin studying here when they enter the 10th grade. Meanwhile, D would refuse the students, who do not follow his classes from the beginning. A teacher of a high school for the gifted, who runs private tutoring classes in Phu Nhuan district in HCM City has been so well known, that students have to scramble for a seat at the classes. Parents would have to register study for their 8th grade children, so that the children can begin following the private tutoring from the 9th grade. This means that parents need to book a seat at the classes one year in advance. The well-known teacher is so professional that he has a website of his own, where he informs the timetable for every school year. NH, who is also a well-known teacher of a high school for the gifted, only accepts 10 students for every class. The students are mostly from well off families, which are ready to spend big money to be able to learn with good teachers. In general, the students gather in small classes, because they think that overcrowded classes would not bring the desired effects. When asked about the income from the private tutoring classes, H said: "Of course, the "extra income" is much higher than the "main salary" I receive for my job as the teacher of the high school." H went on to say that his income is more "modest" than some other teachers, who can earn enough money to buy villas in the central area of the city just after several years of teaching privately. The assistant professors at private tutoring classes NCD, a well known teacher in HCM City, gives private English lessons in the living room of a house on Huynh Van Banh Street in Phu Nhuan district. When giving lessons, D usually stands next to the gate, and he runs two classes at the same time. Sometimes, when there are too many students, he would ask for the help of an assistant, named Lan, who takes care for the students of the small class. The students go to class two times a week and they have to pay 150,000 dong a month. As such, the teacher can earn 75 million dong a month, if he runs 10 classes with 50 students in each class. For the last many years, people have voiced their criticism against the private tutoring movement. MOET has promulgated strict regulations to restrict the private teaching. However, despite the efforts, the problem has not been settled to every root. Source: Tien phong

Understanding the Role of Trade-Ins in Durable Goods Markets: Theory and Evidence
The act of trading in a used car as partial payment for a new car resonates with practically all consumers. Such transactions are prevalent in many other durable goods markets, ranging from golf clubs to CT scanners. What roles do trade-ins play in these markets? What motivates the seller to set up a channel to facilitate trade-ins? Intuitively, accepting a trade-in would appear to stimulate demand for the producer's product, but facilitating the resale of these used goods that substitute for new goods might also increase cannibalization. Although such transactions involve billions of dollars, we know relatively little about this practice from the extant research literature. This paper develops an analytical model that incorporates key features of real-world durable goods markets: (i) coexistence of new and used goods markets, (ii) consumer heterogeneity with respect to quality sensitivity, (iii) firms that anticipate the cannibalization problem arising from the coexistence of new and used goods, and (iv) lemon problems in resale markets, whereby sellers of used goods are better informed than buyers about the quality of their particular item. In our analysis, a trade-in policy amounts to an intervention by the firm in the used goods market, which reduces inefficiencies arising from the lemon problem. It motivates owners to purchase new goods and reduces their proclivity to hold on to purchased goods because of the low price the latter would fetch in a lemon market. We also show that trade-in programs are more valuable for less reliable products, as well as for products that deteriorate more slowly. Our analysis shows that producers in durable goods markets should consider trade-in programs as a matter of routine. Despite cannibalization concerns arising from a more active resale market, a producer's profits will inevitably rise from introducing trade-ins, given pervasive lemon problems. We test the key predictions of the model about price and volume of trade by assembling a data set of transactions of U.S. automobile consumers and find broad support for our model.
