Holiday Village Kuukiuru

Best place ever! We booked literally last minute! Price: Great value for money! Note: You can either bring your own bedsheets and towels or pay extra - at the time of our booking those were extra charges. Accommodation: VERY CLEAN! :) We got a beautiful "apartment" in a house, it was very charming inside and out. Kitchen was fully equipped down to dishwashing liquid, coffee and sugar. All the dishes, cups and cutlery you would need - hotels only offer you a spoon and you should be grateful. Comfortable beds (4-bed - 2 up and 2 on the ground, which gives you even more privacy from your travel buddies), nice pillows, TV with YouTube and Netflix, free WIFI. It was warm inside, while it was -19C during some nights... we were not cold. Staff: Very friendly and kind - they will do their best for their English speaking guests. We got to see the Northern Lights on our second night - the hosts turned off the lights at the holiday village and took some incredible pictures for us. Thank you! :) Most incredible experience ever! Location: Tranquil. It is far from busy places like Rovaniemi, but you're still a 20-min drive from K-market, pharmacy and fuel station. You are practically in the middle of nowhere. Yes, you should rent a car when you book here. You are also close to Luosto/Pyha - which has: both husky and reindeer parks, skiing opportunities and a chance to visit the amethyst mine Activities at the village: Since we went in March, snow was EVERYWHERE - so beautiful... we tried snowmobiling. 90 eur for 1 hr = 100% worth it! It was enough for an unforgettable experience. I wish we did snowshoes and sauna... next time! :D Overall: This place is a winner! :) I would go back in a heartbeat

I spent 2 nights in Vuostimo on my way North in early August. The room in a separate building was nice and comfortable (enough space, own bathroom) I got an extra wifi router (I had to do some remote work on that journey) and the view from the window was beautiful. There is no grocery store whatsoever in Vuostimo, so if you don't have your own car, you should make sure to take along everything you need (next supermarket is in Pelkosenniemi which can be reached by bus, but not very often). The area is calm, in wonderful landscape.
