Farm Kota Accommodation
Stay overnight in a traditional farm kota in the middle of the working husky farm for a behind-the-scenes glimpse of farm life.
Our traditional farm 'kota', a circular building with a central fireplace where you sleep on comfortable mattresses atop reindeer-skin benches, is usually reserved for the night before a multi-day safari and the first night of our 3- and 5-day tours. In the busy winter season we can rarely offer it to independent travellers, but outside the safari season you can stay for a behind-the-scenes glimpse of life on a working husky farm.
- Traditional kota in the middle of a 200-dog husky farm
- Reindeer-skin benches, underfloor heating, no running water
- Includes a farm tour and the option to walk the old dogs
- Per-person price drops with group size (up to 9)
Rustic but comfortable
The kota is rustic but comfortable, with charging ports, underfloor heating and water for basic hand-washing, but no running water (no shower). The toilet is an outdoor one c.200m away near the farmhouse, standard in Lappish wilderness settings. Sleeping bags and liners are included, though you may use your own. As the kota sits in the middle of the c.200-dog farm, a guide will facilitate your experience.
What's included
The price includes a farm tour (€20 per person) and, if you arrive early enough, the option to walk old dogs (normally €35 per person). You are welcome to brush dogs or help with feeding and bedding. Optional add-ons include a dog agility session, joining the evening feed, or bike-joring with the dogs. Breakfast and dinner, cooked over the open fireplace, are not included but can be requested ahead of time.
Meals & logistics
Continental breakfast includes porridge, cereals and bread. Dinner is normally a traditional Lappish meal of reindeer with mashed potato and lingonberries, or locally-caught white fish with rice and vegetables. Check-in is after 4pm (a bus stop sits just outside the homestead) and dinner is served by 7-7.30pm. Check-out is before 11am in summer and before 10am in winter.
