We stayed in the Log Cabins from 29th January 2012 to 5th February 2012 and had a great time. The cabin was so well stocked with everything you could ever imagine, every kitchen utensil you can think of in the world! Layout of the cabins is lovely, nice having the open plan upstairs area. Sauna is amazing, but tip, DO NOT turn it on at 1pm and leave it on for when your back from skiing. You won't be able to breath from the hotness in the bathroom!!!

We stayed in Cabins 14 and 15, Cozyday and Snowyday. Cabins are lovely, plenty big enough for 4 in each room. You are supplied with a sleigh outside your cabin too - another tip - take it when you go food shopping, it's so much easier to carry it all back in there.

It was -36 when we went, so it was horrid going from 20 degrees in the cabin to that temperature when you went outside, so be prepared for that!!

If you light the fire when you get in, it will heat the house for the rest of the evening, but put it out a good few hours before you go to bed, otherwise the upstairs room will be absolutely boiling and unbearable!!

Location of the cabins is the best bit. Couldn't be more in the middle of nowhere, down a nice snowy track. It's so quiet, you wouldn't even know if you had neighbours. We also were lucky enough to see the Northern Lights from literally outside our front door, about 8.45pm, so keep your eyes open!!

Would recommend this resort to anyone, but maybe not in January when it is so unbearably cold!!

I have just returned from a week in Yllas with my girlfriend and It was excellent. we stayed in the lumipoku area where the cabins are and we had easy access to cross country skiing and were only a short walk from the akas hotel where the trips departed from.
The weather was -35 so that was the only bad point as we couldn't really stay outside for hours on end. I had a sauna 1 night and ran out of my cabin naked and dived and rolled in the snow outside in -35 conditions. you definitely have to try this haha.

The cabins were cosy,walm and we had a key to the shed outside to get more wood when ever we wanted to. The only thing I thought was a bit complicated was the cross country skiing maps, we bought a map for 10 euros but it wasn't very helpful at all, we just went out and just decided as we went along, it was fun that way anyway.

I have to say the food everywhere we eat was excellent. On the main road the resteraunt called Jullis was really nice.I had a burger with reindeer in top of the beef and it was gorgeous. you also get about 1000 chips with you're burger. The other place was called poro and it was gorgeous in there, we got starters and then I had sauteed reindeer, my girlfriend got salmon and baked potato and we both thoroughly enjoyed it. The atmosphere and the traditional lay out were well worth the 20 minute walk in -35. I can not fault anything about the place, the husky rides were a great experience, they could have been a little longer I suppose but the experience of riding my own team of huskies is something I will never forget. The snow village was a good experience too, again, the trip could have been a little longer as we only got to have 1 drink in the ice bar.

all in all it was 5/5. Lapland was everything I expected and more. Me and my girlfriend have great memories and pictures and I will never forget it.

We stayed in Harrapa Cabin no 7, lovely and cosy with both radiators and log fire. Fire wood is provided with newspaper, we lit our fire a few times, tip always have the dampner open to avoid smoke coming back into the cabin; risk of carbon monoxide.
Our cabin was ample big enough for us (2) this was a family size cabin two beds upstairs, but caution with the stairs very very steep. We slept downstairs in a seperate room with plenty of storage for clothes.We ate in a couple times, the back ring on the hob was slightly slow, but we managed.
Tip take packets of porridge, pasta and cup a soups and anything else that is reasonably light, as the supermarket can be expensive, dependent on what you buy; guests before us left coffee and pasta, we left a few items also. We didn't use the washing machine so can't comment. We did use the sauna which was fab, even rolled in the snow brrrrrrrr.The outside temperature was -28. The heating does go off when the sauna is in use.
The cabin is set in amongst trees absolutely beautiful location, but did find it time consuming to buy provisions at the supermarket 30 mins walk at least,take the sledge provided to carry your shopping. There are short cuts to the Akas Hotel, which is before the supermarket, where you can buy meals and drinks, though quite expensive.
Short cut to Akas Hotel. Walk or ski to the top of the road at crossways continue walking straight, you will see two cross country ski tracks take a right and follow the path, you will pass a small bridge on your left, continue forward and you will see signs for the Akas Hotel, turn left and follow the path, hope this helps.If you carry straight on instead of turning left towards the Hotel you will come out by the lake a good place to see The Northern Lights, though we didn't see them this time round. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, there are a few bars in the village, we tended to go to Jullius Bar, which isn't far from the Akas Hotel on the left hand side nice food and welcoming staff. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, we booked a Husky Trip which was amazing, very cold at -35, lots of layers needed though you will be provided with extra layers. We also hired a couple of snowmobiles for the day, we were given a map as we wanted to visit The Ice Hotel at Laino, brilliant drive we stopped half way and had a hot drink and a cake:) We were 6 hours on the snowmobiles which was long enough for us. We also booked Ski lessons and neither of us can Ski. The Ski centre Y1 was brilliant, lovely staff and a brilliant instructor who taught us so much in our 90 minutes session, though we only had big fluffy hats with us, we looked slightly ridiculous, as we didn't have at this time balaclava's, we were advised to hire the helmets.
We had another day of skiing, which was bitterly cold -34, hence the slopes were very quite, we managed to last 3/4 of an hour as it was just too cold and windy.
Our return flight was slightly delayed due to de-icing. We a truly brilliant holiday hope yours is as enjoyable.

We stayed in a nice cabin near all facilities. The store was about 15 minute walk with is nice in the show. Also included was the wood for the fireplace. During oud stay we saw the northern lights twice witch is absolutely amazing. We took some excursions from destination lapland witch are all very well organised witch nothing to complain. I Would recommand these cabins to anyone who wants a relax holiday witch some activities.
