Guests can access our lovely morning sun terrace first thing and our river-view terrace later in the day as the sun moves around. There is also a chance to enjoy some private relaxation time in our wood-burning sauna and hot-tub (extra charge applies) Big Moose Apartment and the sauna are fully wheelchair-accessible so it's a perfect place for guests with any mobility difficulties or extra needs. Bedding, towels, wi-fi and cleaning are included. Please let us know if you have any questions and/or need any help in planning your visit and arranging any other activities and experiences during your stay here in Övertorneå. We look forward to meeting and welcoming you.
Originally from the UK, our love for the North of Sweden and all the amazing nature, space, freedom, scenery, lakes, rivers, forests, seasons and different experiences were what brought us here and we love sharing these with our guests.
The small and friendly town of Övertorneå has a good range of shops, including the essentials, such as a bank/atm, supermarkets, pharmacy, hospital etc. There is a range of eating-out options from fast food outlets, Pizza restaurant and lunch buffet options through to fine-dining with top quality locally-sourced traditional cuisine. There is also a huge range of places to visit and activities to experience throughout the area throughout the year, with Northern lights, Midnight sun, Ski and snowmobile trails, Forest walks, fishing and hunting, meet Moose and Reindeer, Husky sled rides being just a few of them.
