More information about this holiday
Your cabin is located on the edge of the forest, close to a frozen lake and right next to our husky farm. You will be the only guests staying here, and there are no other cabins – truly a private winter holiday!
This location is one of the best places to see northern lights! We have no light pollution, and we can see the aurora in eny direction, without obstacles! We have many years of experience with spotting northern lights, and we will warn you if there is any aurora! You will be able to enjoy the aurora in complete silence and solitude – away from the crowds.
ACTIVITIES
Together with your guide, you will go out on dogsledding tours in 2 days. You will drive your own (shared) dog sled. Other guests might join on the tour, but they will be on their own sleds and we never take more than 6 people in total on a tour.
On the nature safari you will drive a (shared) snowmobile and a guide will take you out in the forest to search for wildlife like moose. You will make a stop for lunch around the fire.
During your visit to a reindeer corral, you will meet your host who will tell you about Sami culture and herding the reindeer. You will enjoy a warm lunch around the fire in a tipi tent.
Jokkmokk is a cosy little village. You can visit the Sami museum here, and there are some really nice gift shops as well. You can also take an easy 3 km hike around the lake just behind the village.
The snowshoeing is over a prepared and marked trail, starting right from your doorstep. We will provide you with snowshoes. You can also choose to try your luck with icefishing!
The two days of dogsledding, the nature safari on a snowmobile, and your visit to the Sami family, are guided. The visit to Jokkmokk, the snowshoeing and the icefishing, are not guided. No worries, we will provide you with all you need to know to make this a great day!
The wood stove heated sauna is right next to your cabin, and you will have it all to yourself! We will provide you with exclusive Care of Gerd shampoo and soap, locally made with natural ingredients and 100% plastic free.
THE GUESTHOUSE
Your log cabin has a basic, but comfortable standard. It is heated by a heat pump, which keeps the cabin at a constant comfortable temperature. There is electricity and we have 4G signal for internet. The water comes from a water canister with a tap. There is no shower, but there is a washing room inside the cabin, and you can also use the sauna for washing on all nights. The toilet is an outhouse, but it does have a nice Styrofoam seat so you can sit comfortably warm even on the coldest days! There are two sleeping rooms, a 2- person room with 2 single beds as well as a 4-person room with 2 bunk beds.
FOOD
You will enjoy breakfast in your cabin every day. During the dog sledding tours and the nature safari on snowmobile, as well as your visit to the Sami family, your guide will prepare lunch over a fire. If you choose to go snowshoeing or icefishing, we will provide you with some sausages to grill over a fire!
At night, we will provide you with the ingredients and recipes to cook your own dinner in the kitchen of your cabin. This is all typical local food, and the recipes are fool proof. We do have some tasty vegetarian options as well!

During your stay at our husky farm, we might have day tours with other guests starting up on some days. However, this will not interfere with your holiday at all – come watch while we start up with our dog teams!
We will provide you with warm clothes for dogsledding, but you need to bring long underwear, warm socks, a hat and gloves. For snowshoeing, you will need to bring your own hiking shoes. Don’t forget your sunglasses and sunscreen!
We would like to create a 100% smoke free environment for our guests. Unfortunately, we do not have the opportunity to welcome smokers on this holiday – even if you smoke outside, you will take the smell of the smoke inside the cabin; which will make it impossible for people with eg. asthma or allergies to use the cabin afterwards. We therefor kindly ask smokers to book elsewhere.
We also want to ask you kindly, not to use any strongly perfumed products like deodorant spray or perfume in the cabin. We thank you for your understanding!
