Holiday Home Away from Home - Vacation Rental in Kilpisjärvi

Holiday Apartment in Kilpisjärvi – Your Home Away from Home in Arctic Lapland

Planning a visit to Kilpisjärvi? Stay in our welcoming home, just a short walk from the heart of the village.

About Your Hosts

We are Martti and Sinikka, year-round residents of Kilpisjärvi, where we share our home and life with a small pack of Siberian huskies. When we rent out our home for short stays, we either travel or stay in our camper parked on the property.

Our huskies are trained sled dogs who live outdoors in a fenced kennel in the yard. If we’re around during your stay, you're welcome to come and say hello to them — they’re friendly and love meeting new people!

Please note that our dogs sometimes visit the house, so unfortunately the apartment is not suitable for guests with dog allergies. We also kindly ask that you do not bring pets with you, as our huskies are not keen on sharing their territory.
