The Korvala cabins are very comfortable and warm, with lovely design. The Family running the place offers also husky tours, sauna and very kind attention to what we needed. We loved souna and lake bath experience. There is an exellent traditional restaurant there too, magical place. The forest is accesible, with clear trails, although it is good to have gps with you. We used the skating equipment, included in the cabin price. I think they also turnedon the Northen Lights fior us the other night ;)

Maybe a sand clock inside souna (which was amazing anyway) would be helpful.

Le site est très joli avec les beaux chalets rouges . On a à notre disposition : luges, raquettes, ski de fond . On a adoré les chiens de traîneaux au coucher du soleil ( les explications sont en anglais) On a pu voir les aurores boréales ( il faut regarder vers le nord , au dessus des chalets) Vous pouvez visiter en famille la ferme kopara à luosto ( 30 euros pour 2 adultes et 2 enfants) Très belle balade au vikaköngäs ( aller jusqu'au mirador)

Il n'y a que le minimum nécessaire en cuisine

A family of four we are just home from a 3 night stay at Korvala (should have stayed for longer). The most amazing experience from start to finish. Jaana & Seppo (owners) so helpful and accommodating. The log cabins are clean and comfortable. The setting is picture postcard perfect. Photos will not do it justice. The husky ride is incredible and the dogs are all loved and cared for so well. The sledging and super fast slide in the snow was a favourite for my kids (5&7). The sauna and dip in the ice cold water is a great experience you can enjoy here also. 45 min drive from Rovaniemi airport, if you are looking for an authentic experience away from the commercial side of Lapland this is your place. We were also lucky to see the Northern lights on our final night in Korvala. I am already planning a return trip for 2025!

El sitio es maravilloso. Las cabañas son cómodas y acogedoras y están ubicadas junto a un lago en un entorno tranquilo en el que disfrutar del paisaje nevado. Puedes utilizar la barbacoa, los trineos y los esquís sin coste. Los dueños son muy amables. Muy buena experiencia.

Nos gustó todo. Por dar alguna sugerencia, estaría bien un poco más de menaje en la cocina, sobre todo un tostador.

everything was alright, really hot inside, good radiators, fresh drinking water, location was amazing, we saw a true spectacle of the auroras, the cabin was incredible small and it was for 4, we were 2 but we found it very small and inconvenient as we were a couple but the beds were bunk beds, it doesn’t necessarily say this when you book so be careful.

very small cabin

Everything was wonderful and exactly as advertised or better.

There were a lot of free activities to do including cross country skiing with equipments provided. Great husky tours. Easygoing owners.

Not sure why linens are not provided in most of the accomodation in Finland, but this was also the same case. Smaller accommodation than expected.

We visited for the long Easter weekend with our parents, a teenager, and two young children (under 4). All of us thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The owners were very friendly and the surroundings were beautiful. Even though our travel schedule unfortunately didn't allow us to book a husky sledding tour, we were still able to explore and enjoy the expansive grounds with material that was provided free of charge: skis (also for young children), sleds (including a sled specifically for a very young child with a strap to hold them in place), a map with several trails for skiing and hiking... There were also ice skates, snow shoes, a covered grilling place next to the lake, and for a normal charge there is a sauna with a swimming hole. There is a sledding hill and a playground (which was still completely covered in snow and ice but this didn't stop the children from exploring). It's not close to shops or any other business/activity to visit, but that's the trade-off you make for being closer to nature and away from the city. We saw an (arctic?) hare and squirrels from the cabin, some reindeer in the forest, lots of different animal tracks, and of course we had a look at the huskies in the kennel. If you have a car, there are other excursions/shops within doable driving distance. We did not but easily reached Korvala by public transport (bus stop right in front of the property) with the kind owners even being able to accommodate an arrival slightly earlier than check-in time. We did not have a lot of noise from the road but this might have been thanks to the snow banks. Contact with the owners before, during and after our stay was easy and fast. Information was proactively provided. We had forgotten to bring one or two items and the owner quickly and kindly helped us out. We had the large cabin. Some of the beds were in the living area, one bedroom was separate.

For some reason the cons appear to posted first. If this is the case, please read the pros because we recommend Korvala! The cooking plates were a bit inconveniently placed combined with the cooker hood which made the back plate harder to check on and reach. (The kitchen as a whole was advertised as being relatively basic so this was not a surprise. We brought our own potato knives and were glad to have done so. There were a bigger knife and peeler provided, you could get by.) Disclaimer: we found the following issue to be minor and did not report it to or discuss it with the owner. The fireplace was impressive but some of the stones it was made of were loose (not dangerous for an adult but could be a hazard for small children). However, I seem to remember reading somewhere that there will be renovations very soon so this issue might be resolved soon.
