Perfect for a short comfortable stay. Shared bathroom with toilet and shower.

Supermarket and restaurants in about 2 km distance in Ylläsjärvi.
NOTE: In winter you need to have a car, there is no walking path to my house!

I have a dog. Not suitable for infants nor children nor people with animal allergies.

No possibility to cook!

Maintain peace and quiet from 22pm - 7am! Not suitable for night owls.

The space
My house is a small, about 70m2 and stands alone. There are neighbors nearby, but usually you can't see them. The road that passes by the house is usually quiet, but can be lively during the holidays.

The guest room and the bathroom are on ground floor, right after the entrance.

BATHROOM
Shared bathroom with toilet and shower.

GUEST ROOM
The guest room was repainted a year ago. It has a chest of drawers, shelves, hangers, and a mirror. The view from the guest room window goes into the woods. If you're lucky you can see the northern lights from the window. In summer you will be greeted by the midnight sun.

PATIO
At the house entrance there is a terrace which can be used in the summer for smoking, relaxing and having breakfast outdoors.

KITCHEN
NO COOKING FACILITIES. You can use the kitchen to prepare your own breakfast (bring your own food!). There is also a microwave that may be used. Food can be stored in my fridge on request. Please keep in mind that my fridge is small

The kitchen can be used to prepare breakfast, but not for cooking!
The supermarket, restaurants and cafés can be reached in about 2 km on foot in summer. In winter there is only the road and the cross-country ski trail that lead to the village, so a car is essential in winter.

I am working from home and am therefore a majority at home.
You can enjoy your stay in peace. If you want to talk to me, have a coffee or need my help, I am happy to be there for you. Otherwise you can reach me via app or by phone.

Other things to note

My dog is very quiet and friendly, but she is very shy. It's best to just ignore them.

I am a Swiss living in Finnish Lapland. I found my happy place far up north and appreciate my simple, quiet life. According to my friends I am curious, active, culture interested and down to earth. As a nature lover, I spend a lot of time hiking and biking in the woods. I am into photography as well. Always by my side is my Siberian Husky female Hippu. She is the queen of the house.
