We stayed at Giellajohka for 6 days and wished we had longer. It was magic. The river cabins are cozy, warm and have a substantial kitchen. We enjoyed the in cabin sauna and the beautiful floor to ceiling window meant we enjoyed the aurora from our bed while having a cup of tea early in the morning. The property is run by Anita and her son Jouni and they are actively involved passionate hosts. We loved them and all the staff. The activities were well run, relaxed, intimate and so much fun. No mass tourism to be found. There are beautiful walk, ski and snowshoe tracks from your doorstep and all the gear to borrow. The food was good. We loved reindeer soup and the breakfasts, especially the pancakes with jam. Yum! Don’t hesitate booking it would be impossible to regret a stay here.

Wonderful stay

The people were really friendly and they made us feel right at home. Food was great especially the heavy breakfast, the apartment was clean, and the resident kitties and doggie were really adorable. The only comment we have is that the pillows were a bit small/low and the beds were too soft but this is based on one’s preference. We prefer firmer (and higher) pillows and memory foam beds (again, based on preference). All in all, our stay was lovely and we’ll definitey be back here again!❤️

Great place in the nature

Wonderful place surrounded by beautiful nature. We stayed in the Fisherman’s cottage which was very clean and comfortable with a view on the river - super nice! The restaurant was lovely and the owners, as well as the rest of the staff were friendly and great. We didn’t have breakfast but it looked delicious and plentiful. Would stay here again anytime!

We felt at home right from the start. The surroundings, the peace and quiet, the food, the possibility to hire skis and snowshoes, the friendliness of all the staff and of course the northern lights and reindeer right on the doorstep. Simply a dream. We would love to come back and have already recommended it to others.
