Saariselän Marjamajat

We stayed as a couple in E40. The owner, Meeri, was lovely to deal with before our stay and always answered my emailed questions very promptly. The cabin itself when we arrived was so cosy and warm, and there is everything provided that you could need. We did book bedding and towels through Meeri, only a few euro and easier than bringing our own. The other bonus was that the cabin has a full proper cooker, a lot of Lapland cabins just have 2 electric rings to cook on. There is a huge fridge and a microwave and plenty of bowls plates and cooking utensils. The other huge plus is that wifi has just been added to the cabin and worked brilliantly and very quick speed. It was -32 while we were there and we never felt anything but snug and warm in the cabin. The stairs up to the bedrooms is very steep so you do have to be able bodied, we are both in our 50's and had no problem with them. The cabin is right in the center of the village, shops, supermarket, restaurants and bus stops all within very easy walking distance so you dont have to hire a car if you dont want to, the airport bus stops and picks up right near the cabin. Despite being near everything it so quiet and peaceful. We didnt get to see the Northern lights, when the sky was clear they just didnt happen and when they were forecasted we had snow and clouds so its a very good reason for us to need to go back and I wouldnt hesitate to contact Meeri to stay in her cabin again.
