We had been planning to go to Lapland for years, however, other people we knew who'd been, suggested we wait until our children were old enough to truly enjoy and remember all the experiences on offer. I had researched accommodation but all the 'resorts' I came across seemed so huge and commercial. We are a family who travel a lot and seek really authentic experiences wherever we go. We prefer a more boutique-sized and personalised accommodation. (Just to add, we did see two other resorts with igloos and for a family, the igloos were soooo tiny. Very glad we did not book). Polar Aurora Cabins were the perfect choice for us. With just 5 cabins onsite, we felt secluded yet safe. The winter scenery was simply breathtaking and unlike anything we'd ever seen before. We stayed in cabin #5 and always felt toasty warm. The cabins are well-constructed and authentic, cosy but comfortable for our family. The sauna was fantastic and having the option to cook and prepare snacks in our own kitchen was great. We chose to have breakfast daily in the restaurant prepared by Jaana which was delicious and the Lappish dinner is a must. Mika and Jaana were the perfect hosts who made all of us feel very welcome and no request was too much for them. They can arrange a selection of activities for guests; we particularly enjoyed snowmobiling into the forest and a campfire sausage dinner. We spent one night in Rovaniemi in a large resort and did not enjoy it at all. We had such a great time at Polar Aurora Cabins that we plan to return again this December and stay over Christmas.
