We booked our recent holiday through The Aurora Zone and were very pleased with the activities and the accomodations. The Forest Hotel bills itself as a wilderness lodge - a serene location on the banks of the frozen Tarendo River with a regional flair. The rooms were quite basic, but were comfortable and clean. The new owners were enthusiastic about... More

We had a fantastic time. The Forest Hotel is a very friendly, relaxed place to stay and Margaretta and Ingemar made us feel very welcome from the moment we arrived until we left. It's nice to come back after an activity, have a hot drink in the restaurant and relax by the fire. I'd like to say a special thanks... More

The Forest Hotel sits next to a wide river on one of its bends, nestled by forest, built in Swedish style, offering home comforts.

Everyone in the team is very kind, efficient and commited to make your stay unforgettable. Each evening and night were special : night in a trapper's camp, diner... More

The public areas had real character and the dining area had a welcoming log fire and Dinner was very imaginative with highland beef as a main course. Sauna area and hot... More

Before going to Lapland and the forest hotel we had high expectations. I have to say all of these expectations were exceeded. We had booked a week at the forest hotel with a number of activites during the week. We were collected from the airport by Frederik the owner of the forest hotel and brought directly to the hotel.
