Monthly Rentals in Gällivare

What a wonderful experience! We loved everything about this place, just back to basics, exact what we needed! The house makes you aware of all the resources that we take for granted: electricity, running water, heating. In this place and especially in wintertime, you have to take care of your own fire, otherwise you will freeze to death. You have to make good use of the limited solar energy for the lights inside the house. Water to do the dishes must be taken from the lake, which is frozen. It is hard to keep the hole open at temperatures of -26°C. It is only here and now that you realise how hard it must have been for the Sami especially in wintertime. We loved the sauna and rolling in the snow afterwards, the silence (real silence where even your own breath sounds loud!), reindeer passing very close to the house, the northern lights that was very visible thanks to the absence of light pollution. Above all this, we loved our host, Lena, who is really involved.

We enjoyed the beautiful accommodation. Hans is a sweet and nice man who welcomed us kindly. The bed was lovely and has all the comforts

The cabin is just as seen on the pictures. Everything one might need is available - especially in the well equipped kitchen! The view into the trees is very lovely and the sleeping rooms are also very comfortable. As a surprise, the cabin even has a sauna which we enjoyed very much! We definitely would recommend to have your own car, as it is a bit outside the town of Gällivare. An Ica nära supermarket is in walking distance, though. There are plenty of outdoor activities even in winter time, like the ski area „Dundret“ which is less than a 5 min drive away. Thank you Johan, we had a lovely stay!

a very friendly and helpful landlord, immediately met our requests regarding kitchen utensils. The house is beautifully situated overlooking Dundret, ICA is in the immediate vicinity (walking distance), all in all a nice little apartment for 3-4 people.
