Iceland is so last year.
FYI – this snow igloo in Finland is getting a lot of attention. In the last five days it’s had 500 views – well, that’s what Airbnb says anyway.
Located in the neverworld regions of Pelkosenniemi, deep in the dark and untouched forests of the Finland, this one bedroom igloo has romance (and Instagram) written all over it.
Six little ice huts are available to rent and are all a part of a family owned business who own a neighbouring horse ranch.
Advertised by Antti, who is conveniently schooled in the verse of five languages (English, Suomi, Dutch, Spanish and Swedish), the igloos are ideal for those who just want to get lost in the wilderness.
The space, which she describes is ‘always minus degrees’ inside’ can accommodate up to four people and is located right next to Lake Pyhäjärvi and the stunning snow-filled Pyhä-Luosto National Park.
Toilets? Shower? Don’t worry, both are just around the corner by the host’s ranch. You’ll also have the use of a communal kitchen and living room.
Depending on the time of year you visit, it’s the perfect spot to gaze up at the stars, belt out your best ‘Frozen’ songs, and watch the Northern Lights shimmer rainbows up in the heavens. Free tip: pack your camera, some special lenses and a tripod.
Be warned – if you don’t like the cold, this Airbnb definitely isn’t for you. Antti advises that ‘sleeping bags are provided’ but any prospective guests should come baring ‘thermos layers, a warm hat, socks and gloves.’
Other necessary’s include a flashlight, because let’s be honest, what city dweller is actually comfortable in the pitch black?
Breakfast is also part of the deal but they advise to stock up on any essentials before you visit as the nearest supermarket is 10km away.
After you’ve experienced the perks of igloo life, check out the Kopara Reindeer Park, and if you’ve got a knack for skiing, the Pyhä Ski Resort has some pretty sick slopes.
