Pet-friendly hotels and homes in Ivalo

Very cosy and comfortable cottage!!We stayed one night and enjoyed it a lot although it was a bit challenging with no hot water, shower and the toilet outside the cottage. Nice experience!😉❄️👍

We liked it very much, our room was very comfy. The staff is very nice and helpful. We also tried the sauna experience and it was amazing. Truly recommend if you want to stay somewhere surrounded by nature

Very comfortable, well equipped, perfect place for couples or small families. The built-in electric heating is a very good feature, without it it would have been hard to maintain the temperature with the fireplace. The sauna is also very good, both stoves (sauna and living room) are very easy to fire up and handle, nice design. We experienced a new level of darkness at night outside, very low level of light pollution in the area.

Beautiful cottage. It’s a way out of town (check the map) we didn’t have a car but Miia kindly arranged pickup and drop off with a stop at the shops for food. I absolutely loved my stay but I’ve detailed a few differences with this cottages to what you might expect so that you can get an accurate impression. The most important thing is the cottage does not have running water or a bathroom. You will need to bring drinking water, and water for washing/dishes/sauna is hand pumped from a well outside. There is an outside composting toilet, which is perfectly fine and was not difficult to use even as I was there in winter… I just needed to put on a jacket and shoes and was comfortable. The stairs are very steep, not suitable for anyone unsteady on their feet. Downstairs is the bunk bed. Upstairs has a double bed and a single bed (no walls or doors though, it’s an open mezzanine level). Wood for the fire is included and you use dried bark as the firelighters. The central heating kept the house warm even without the fire. The Sauna is attached to the side of the house and uses a wood fire. It takes a couple of hours to heat up. There is also a big water tank in the sauna which uses a wood fire beneath to heat up, you can use this water for washing in the sauna. The instructions state only to use one lot of wood under the tank which was good advice as it got very hot and any more would have made it boil which would be dangerous. Miia also gave us use of a battery powered camping shower so we could wash easily. The cottage is on the river which is completely frozen over winter. It is walking distance from Villa Karhukumpu which we used for activities, where Jrki the owner was very kind and helpful. Overall I found Miia to be extremely helpful as a host, and the place is as beautiful as the pictures.

The stay was awesome. The facilities provided was excellent. The rooms were very very comfortable. The floors were heated. We had Sauna option.

We had a fantastic stay in this beautiful house. The location, nestled in the middle of a stunning forest next to a river, was incredibly peaceful and full of positive vibes. We were even lucky enough to see the northern lights right from there! The house was well-equipped, providing everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We truly enjoyed our time there and will definitely come back!

We stayed a wonderful week in Norlight Cottages - Aurinko East with our small dog, it the best vacation home we ever visited. Located in the middle of the forest with beautiful lake view. We could The cottage has everything we need - comfortable couch, fireplace, kitchen and kitchenette, sauna, smart TV and bed. Patrick and Nyima were very kind and helpful. Patrick even came in the morning on the day we leave to clear the snow on the road for us, thank you very much and see you again!

A very well equipped cosy house, with everything you need for a perfect holiday. The surroundings are enchanting, (especially during ruska season) with a wonderful view of the lake. The outside sauna is a real Finnish experience. Fantastic to watch the starry sky or the aurora borealis from the hot tub in the evenings. Perfect place for a retreat. I will definitely come back! The hosts are very kind and helpful.

Beautiful cottage in a peaceful location, where everything was as promised. Gorgeous views of Lake Rahajärvi and a great place to see the northern lights. Lovely surroundings, especially when traveling with dogs. The hosts were very helpful and easy to communicate with. We would absolutely stay at Tuli again!
