Lake Inari Mobile Cabins

Hands down one of the most badass experiences I’ve had. Sleeping out on a frozen lake, dragged into position by snowmobile, watching the Northern Lights from bed—it doesn’t get better. The cabin was simple but solid—warm, comfortable, and had everything I needed. The whole setup is just smart and well done. If you’re after something that feels remote but still comfortable, this is the spot.

A very quirky, but truly wonderful experience. I won't waste your time by repeating all the fantastic things which people have already written, but the executive summary is: 1) Atte and his team are wonderful. Nothing is too much trouble. 2) The cabins were far more comfortable and warm than I expected. 3) This is close to the best nailed on Aurora sighting you are going to find. Just a few things that would have been useful to know before we went: 1) There is a lounge/kitchen which you have full access to, although you can't use the kitchen between 4 and 6 when they prepare supper. 2) Breakfast is great. Bread, toast, porridge and eggs in abundance. 3) Take a headtorch and also a torch to light up the cabin as the installed lighting ain't that bright. 4) Don't let Atte see you buy farmed salmon (ruined his former business).

Lake Inari Mobile Cabins is exactly our kind of spot in this world. We loved our stay here! We stayed two nights, but we would have been happy to stay longer. There is something super special about the cabins- they are small, but large enough to enjoy your time in them. The experience of being towed onto a frozen lake and left for the night is a romantic, special experience. The base camp is comfortable. During the day you have use of the basecamp for the bathrooms, showers, kitchen and sauna if you choose. If you stay here, we highly recommend The Grill Hut for dinner. We enjoyed dinner both nights in The Grill Hut, and we're glad we did. The experience is casual and unique, and the food is terrific. The hosts at Lake Inari Mobile Cabin add to the experience. Atte and Alexa are lovely people, and they make certain everyone has their questions answered and that guests feel comfortable while visiting.

A truly unique experience in northern Lapland! From booking to check-out, the process was smooth and straightforward. Atte, Alexa, and team were responsive, organized, warm, and gracious hosts, and both the basecamp and mobile cabin were spotless and well-outfitted as all prior reviews shared. Note that snow suits and boots are provided for those in need at the basecamp, along with WCs, showers, towels, and space to store any snacks/drinks you might wish to bring with you. While we unfortunately didn't have time to take advantage of any of the activities, we did reserve spaces in the grill hut for a delicious meal and terrific conversation (I'd note that for those interested in ice fishing, Atte is a skilled guide). The mobile cabins themselves were wholly original, compact yet comfortable rooms on runners. They are pulled out on the ice at 8 pm and retrieved at 8 am, giving you many quiet and peaceful hours on the lake with the lights of homes and Inari town in the distance. Our evening was mostly overcast so we saw only one hint of aurora, but one can imagine the show when the sky is clear. We wrapped our visit with a delicious homecooked breakfast back at basecamp and engaging conversation with our hosts and other guests. For those looking for an igloo-style lodging experience in a more intimate, personalized, and adventurous setting, this fills the bill - and more. Sincere thanks to Atte, Alexa, and team for sharing their knowledge, care, and hospitality with us!

We really enjoyed our night in the cabin and the great opportunity to see the auroras without the village lights. We were lucky to be the only guests that night so we had the kitchen and sauna at the base camp to ourselfes. Esko - who build everything himself!! - pulled us to the lake around 9pm and we stayed there till 9am the next morning. Luckily the sky was clear and we could see amazing polar lights that night :)

I have spent 2 nights with my 7- years old daughter. Atte is very professional and we were warmly welcomed in the base camp. The premises are very comfy and clean. The cabin is small, but provides toilets and above all, unforgettable experience on the frozen lake. It is well warmed with comfortable bed. I recommend 100% the place for the experience. I would come back again and really felt as at home.
