Personal service, Warm-hearted and Authentic

Welcome to Jokimaja – your temporary home in Finnish Lapland. Here, where the river is frozen in winter, the Northern Lights illuminate the sky, and silence becomes tangible, you can enjoy a stay filled with warmth, personality, and authentic experiences. 

Our small, charming family-run guesthouse has eight individually designed rooms, inspired by the seasons of the Sámi. My name is Kerstin and as your host I will cook for you personally – from homemade breakfast with freshly baked bread to thoughtfully prepared theme menus. 

 

Our Philosophy at Jokimaja: At Jokimaja, we want to offer you a place of relaxation, warmth, and community. Whether you get comfortable on a daybed by the fireplace with a cup of tea and a good book or spend the evening in good company at the large Jokimaja dining table – you decide how your winter day comes to an end. Shared meals, freshly baked cake in the afternoon, and selected dinner menus create special moments. 

As our guest, you are not just a visitor but an inspiration: for new ideas, recipes, and encounters. Everything we recommend – whether it involves places to visit, photo spots, or culinary experiences – we have experienced ourselves. This way, we can provide you with authentic, unforgettable experiences in Lapland that you will dream about for a long time.

Our Jokimaja Story – A Boutique Hotel in Finland’s Winter Wonderland

It all began in the winter of 2014 with a Scandinavia trip taken by my son and his girlfriend. A year later, we came across an old ferry house in Finnish Lapland by chance – our dream location for a B&B with a café. Within a few months, we transformed it into Jokimaja, and by December 2015, we welcomed our first guests. 

After successful seasons and the opportunity to take over the farm in 2018, a water damage incident forced us to take a long break. But as the saying goes: hope dies last. After four years of hibernation, Jokimaja is awakening anew for the 2024/25 season – with a freshly renovated main house, a cozy boutique hotel, and a newly built wooden house in typical Lapland style.

Behind us lie years filled with work, commitment, and support from many helping hands from all over the world. Now, we are ready to reopen our doors – and perhaps we will soon welcome you with a warm “Tervetuloa” (Welcome).
