Book your holiday home on time
Booking your holiday home in Lapland, Sweden or Finland requires good planning. The most beautiful places and the most sought-after accommodations are often quickly gone, especially during high season. In winter, when people want to see the Northern Lights and enjoy the winter splendor, it is essential to book your holiday home well in advance. Popular holiday homes in Lapland , whether it is a holiday home Finland or a holiday home Sweden, often offer unique facilities such as a wood-burning stove, sauna or even a glass roof to see the Northern Lights from your bed.
Because demand is high and the locations with the best facilities fill up quickly, the following applies: do not wait until the last minute. Availability is limited, especially around holidays and during the Christmas holidays. It is wise to make your travel plans a few months in advance, so that you are assured of your dream location in nature. In addition, your wishes, such as the size of the house, the facilities or the location in relation to popular attractions, also determine how quickly you find your ideal holiday home. A well-prepared plan gives peace of mind and more choice.
In short, for a relaxed travel experience and guaranteed enjoyment of that one special holiday home Lapland, early booking is key. This takes into account the popularity of certain regions and facilities, and ensures that you really get the most out of your Lapland holiday. This way you avoid disappointments and make your winter holiday unforgettable !

The great thing is that there is a suitable solution for every budget . Whether you are looking for a small, cozy log cabin or a luxury lodge with all facilities, the choice is large.
The price depends mainly on the location, the size of the holiday home and the available facilities.

What is a log house ?
and what are the features?
A log-house , mökki or a log cabin. Traditionally built with round or square solid wooden beams. The natural and characteristic appearance make a log cabin a special and atmospheric holiday home, as you often encounter in Finnish Lapland. The wooden construction radiates warmth and tranquility, and fits in perfectly with the surrounding nature.
The atmosphere in a log house is unique: cozy, warm and relaxing . The interior finish, with natural materials and simple, rustic attributes, enhances the authentic atmosphere. It feels like you are entering a completely natural environment, while staying comfortably and cozy. The natural look and the relaxing ambiance make a log cabin an ideal place to fully immerse yourself in the Lapland nature. Whether it is a small, romantic log cabin for two or a larger family accommodation, the natural and the atmosphere of a log house ensures an unforgettable winter experience. The environment in which a log house is located, such as a pine forest or on a frozen lake, enhances that feeling of relaxation and connection with nature.

What is the best time to rent in winter?
The ideal period for renting a holiday home in Lapland depends largely on your personal wishes and the activities you want to undertake. In general, the winter in Lapland from December to March is the most popular period, especially because the conditions are ideal for the Northern Lights , husky rides and snowmobile tours . January to March often offers the best chances to see the Northern Lights, because the nights are long and dark and the atmospheric conditions are favourable.
During this period, the snow in Lapland is ideal for winter activities such as reindeer and husky safaris. In addition, you can enjoy the serene tranquility that only winter can bring. January and February are the coldest months, with temperatures that can drop well below zero, which gives an authentic winter experience. The advantage of this is that you have a good chance of seeing the spectacular Northern Lights, which you can see beautifully in the clear, dark nights.
On the other hand, months like December and March can also be attractive options. In December, the festive atmosphere surrounding Christmas is palpable, and you can enjoy winter markets and special events. March often offers slightly milder temperatures and longer daylight, allowing you to still enjoy plenty of activities during the day.
In short, the best period for your winter holiday in Lapland depends on your preferences. Do you want the ultimate Northern Lights experience and winter adventures? Then book between January and March. Do you mainly want to enjoy the festive atmosphere and less severe cold? Then December is also very suitable. All together ensures that you plan your trip flexibly, tailored to your personal wishes and the local conditions.
