    Really pretty old building and spacious room with a great view. Bonus for being dog-friendly. Lovely staff and excellent breakfast. The kitchen had a fridge with a small freezer locker for storing personal food items.

    The setup of the guest house. The host couple managed to restore some history of the school with some personal touch. The hosts were very friendly. It is located in a wood area and close to a lake. Breakfast was very healthy.

    This was surprise! Something very different to experience. I slept in a "barn room" down on the other side of the yarn. It was super comfy and I did sleep well. Heard so many interesting stories from the owners and I really hope they will finish...

    Really nice place. The vibes of the old school are still there which looke really cool. We accidentally booked a wrong date, but the host prepared a room either way. Everything was clean, including the kitchen, showers and sauna.

    Owners have a great vision for old school and they have done a great job making it a guest house. We slept in the barn room and were a bit afraid if there would be a lot of mosquitoes. We slept like babyes, no mosquitoes bothered us.

    That was one of the most amazing places I have ever stayed at! The hosts are very welcoming and approachable! The place itself is stunning. Renovated carefully, with full attention to details, it's like moving back in time. A super nice surprise...

Hei and welcome to our partly renovated Old School above the Arctic Circle! What's great about our place? If you love wilderness, outdoor activities, and meeting new people from different cultures, then this is the right place for you! Although if you just want to enjoy the nature around you in a calm and quiet environment, this is also the right place for you! Here you will find consumable farm products such as milk, cheese, bread etc and have access to all our land and lake. The dorm room consists of 4 single person beds along with space for clothing and view on the lake. The library-corridor and cozy room are at your disposal. The latter includes a full kitchen, a piano, a fireplace, boardgames and more books. About twice per week we turn the sauna on. Feel free to walk around all forest, lake and river nearby. Depending on the time of the year, you can be directed towards activities such as snowshoeing, fishing, ice fishing, skiing, snowmobiling, etc. See you soon!
Traveling around the world for a few years already, I used more hostels and guest houses than I can count. I've always loved the atmosphere of cultural exchange that can be found there, that's why I try to reproduce it in my own guest house from now on!
Neighbourhood? Trees everywhere! Welcome to Lapland (Although we do have a couple neighbours, and there is a small reindeer farm by the river on the other side of the road)
