Cottages in Inari

There are 3 similar villas close to each other in a beautiful forest and within a very short walk from the lake. The villa had absolutely everything we needed and it was beautiful and confortable. We saw beautiful northern lights 3 nights out of 5 right from our front door, with amazing views from the nearby lake. The villa actually looks way better in reality than in the photos! We had a wonderful stay!

Our December stay at Villa Paadar was truly unforgettable and exceeded all our expectations. Nestled in a serene, snow-covered landscape, the villa offered an unparalleled combination of luxury, privacy, and comfort, making it the perfect destination for a winter retreat. The peacefulness of the secluded location allowed us to fully disconnect from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and immerse ourselves in the beauty of nature. The villa itself was immaculate and thoughtfully equipped with high-quality amenities. The electric sauna was a highlight—perfect for warming up after exploring the icy surroundings—and the outdoor jacuzzi on the deck was absolutely breathtaking. Relaxing in the bubbling hot water, surrounded by a quiet forest blanketed in snow, was a surreal experience. It felt like a scene straight out of a winter postcard, and we spent hours just soaking in the stunning views and crisp air. The interior of the villa was just as impressive. The attention to detail made it feel warm and welcoming, from the beautifully decorated Christmas tree glowing in the window to the cozy fireplace that created a perfect ambiance. It truly felt like a home away from home, but with a luxurious touch. Every corner of the villa was spotless, and the furniture and decor were of the highest standard. One thing that stood out was the hospitality of the host. Their regular, friendly check-ins ensured that we had everything we needed and felt completely taken care of throughout our stay. This level of attentiveness added a personal touch that made our visit even more special. That said, the villa is quite remote, which is part of its charm, but it’s essential to have a car. Inari, a quaint village about 27 minutes away, has a few restaurants, a souvenir shop, gas stations, and grocery stores. For more extensive options, Ivalo is about an hour’s drive. We recommend stocking up on supplies on your way to the villa to fully enjoy the peaceful seclusion once you arrive.

This place is a hidden gem surrounded by stunning scenery. The hospitality and food (optional as you can cook your own) were amazing.

This is an amazing cabin by the lake front! Beautifully and thoughtfully done interiors and amenities. It was maintained well, spick and span!! The communication with Nilla has been easy, and he's available when there's questions. Otherwise the guide that he has prepared for the house has most of the questions answered. Remember to bring your groceries, since there're no shops close by (but being secluded from the town is also what makes this place special). We even saw northern lights from the cabin directly - thanks to the big wide glass panes! Overall we definitely recommend it - since this stay was 100% the highlight of our trip!

The views were incredible. We loved the large windows, and that we could see the aurora and beautiful sunrises from the bed. The sauna was perfect. The decor in the living room was very nice.

Amazing place, everything was provided even tiniest details were available, the view was incredible and worths visiting both in summer and winter, definitely one of my best stays I have ever had, I have been to enormous number of five star hotels and resorts all around the world and I would definitely say that my stay in Upea villa Lapin Kulta was definitely one of the best experiences I have ever had, will definitely come back

In the middle of nowhere, but it has everything in the cabin.

How homey the place is. Paula and Janna are the best host. We love every minute of our stay.
