We came here in march for 1 night and had an absolutely amazing experience. We also picked a luck night with clear sky and saw a magical show of the northern light over the frozen lake, an absolute highlight during our Finnland trip. Of course the auroras are never guaranteed but at Rafi, all the conditions are set right to experience a unique natural spectacle. We found ourselves in silent, deep nature with lots of snow and lovely owners. The couple who runs this place is really caring and makes sure you are having a good time. We even got lost on our hike and Jorgo was so kind to pick us up by snowmobile. He also made a rich and delicious breakfast with finnish specialty’s. We stayed in the wooden cottage with the glass roof which was very clean and cozy. Everything is built new. This truely is a place of heart and i hope this place will bring joy to many more travelers.

Staying at the Reindeer manor was one of the most beautiful and unforgettable experiences of our lives. Everything was perfect, with the best staff in the world! They made us feel less like guests but more like friends. Every single person we interacted with was so knowledgeable and kind. They helped us book husky safari (which is right next to the manor and an absolute must do activity) and told us all about their reindeer. We fed cute reindeer every morning and evening, which evoked a child in our souls. Every inch of the property is impeccably taken care of- the huts are newly built, extremely clean and cozy. Hot tub is also a nice touch and much appreciated. Another highlight was the food which contained locally sourced ingredients. We had to keep sending compliments to the chef who is a master of some of the most amazing meals we’ve ever had. All in all- if you have any doubts about this place- don’t- it is perfect!

Great Location (was able to see northern lights from the frozen lake nearby), very friendly people running the inn, well equipped kitchen, good experience!

This is an amazing property that gives a unique experience in Lapland. The host Hari was so welcoming and being driven to the property on his ski mobile across the frozen river was a real highlight. The accommodation is a perfect mix of cabin in the woods with every home comfort and even the eco toilet was a memorable experience. The large woodfired sauna was a treat. the whole place exuded calm and rest. And we all enjoyed Hari's dog Piké coming to stay
