I had an amazing stay at this dreamy cabin! It’s incredibly comfy—everything you could possibly need is thoughtfully provided. The sheets were so comfortable, and the room stayed perfectly warm. The food variety was fantastic, catering to all tastes. The sauna experience was absolutely amazing, and Michelle’s homemade cookies were such a delightful treat—so yummy! Michelle and Dennis made the experience even more special with their warm welcome and thoughtful farewell. They truly spoiled us, filled the place with positive energy, and made us feel like family—we didn’t want to leave! Even the small details, like the cozy robe and slippers, added to the overall comfort. I’ll definitely be coming back again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a perfect getaway!

My recent stay at Sixty Eight North - Lapland forest retreat, was nothing short of magical! Over the course of five days, I was able to witness the breathtaking beauty of nature in so many ways. From the snow-covered trees during the day to the dazzling northern lights at night which I was very lucky to witness upon arrival - every moment felt like a dream.

The cabin itself was a cozy retreat, perfectly blending rustic charm with modern comfort. Enjoying the view of the forest through floor-to-ceilings window and witnessing the northern lights just from the window above my bed, was one of the many highlights of my stay in this magical cabin. Staying here felt like home, away from home!

The activities were a perfect mix of adventure and tranquility. Snowmobiling through the forest and horseback riding in the snow were unforgettable experiences that warmed my heart , as a nature lover. Snowshoeing in the breathtaking deep forest was on another level. Each day was special on its own as it revealed a new magical aspect of the winter landscape , from quiet snowfall to vibrant sunsets and star-filled skies.

This dreamy experience wouldn’t have been complete without the hosts , Michelle & Dennis , who were truly amazing— they were welcoming, attentive, and thoughtful, ensuring I had everything i needed for a memorable stay and shared amazing stories of the local nature, history and culture.

I was looking for a truly magical winter wonderland experience and this cabin and forest retreat was absolutely perfect. My heart is full and I can’t wait to return and experience it all over again!

È passato qualche giorno dal nostro viaggio in Lapponia ma non smettiamo di raccontare quanto sia stato meraviglioso andare lì e aver soggiornato a Sixty Eight North.
Tutto è stato più che PERFETTO!!!
L’accoglienza di Michelle e Dennis, il tepore della casa, la comodità del letto, gli asciugamani così morbidi, la passeggiata nella bianca foresta, la cena speciale nella kota e il giro in slitta… non potevamo desiderare di meglio!
Il posto che hanno creato è a dir poco magico e trasmette tutto l’amore che hanno messo nel realizzarlo.
Michelle e Dennis ci hanno fatto vivere un sogno, e la loro ospitalità ci ha fatto sentire a casa.
Grazie di cuore e spero a presto!

The cabin is absolutely amazing, with so much love and care put into every detail. It felt so cozy, and the bed was so comfortable, we didn’t want to leave! The private sauna and dinner under the stars were such a special surprise. The burger and berry juice were delicious, and hearing stories about Finland made it even more memorable. This was a truly unique and unforgettable experience. Highly recommend!

I stayed here from February 6th to 8th, and it was an unforgettable experience. Nestled in the middle of a vast pine forest, this boutique wellness retreat offers both luxury and seclusion. But what truly set it apart were the incredible hosts, Michelle and Dennis.

From the moment I arrived, they made everything seamless. I booked my stay and activities through Niina from Sixty Eight North, and upon arrival, Michelle and Dennis welcomed me warmly, making it easy to settle in. When my baggage was lost in transit, they immediately helped me file a claim and ensured I received it the next day—a level of care that made a real difference.

My A-frame cabin was beautifully designed, with interiors that had a very earthy, natural feel, blending perfectly with the forest surroundings. It featured a private terrace and fireplace, with large windows offering stunning views of the trees. The space was both luxurious and thoughtfully curated, providing complete privacy—just me, the forest, and the occasional squirrels and birds.

A standout moment was the kota dinner, at a kota build by the owners with so much love poured into it. I was transported by snowmobile sledge to a cozy cabin deeper in the forest. Michelle served an incredible halloumi burger, followed by a dessert of fire-toasted apples crumble with caramel and cream. Everything was well-organized, from pick-ups to transfers, making the experience effortless.

I also booked a day trip to the Levi viewpoint and Sami museum, with Erkki as my guide, arranged by the Sixty Eight North team. They offered plenty of other activities, but I chose to spend most of my time at the cabin, simply unwinding and taking in the magic that surrounded me.

The forest sauna was another highlight. Completely secluded in the woods, with a private sauna and hot tub, it was the perfect way to relax and disconnect. The sauna and hot tub offer views of pine forest and beautiful nature ASMR. You also get to have Michelle’ home made cookies.

One unexpected delight was the toiletries—some of the best I’ve ever used. I loved them so much that I even ordered some to take back home with me. They had the coziest linens and bedding.

Beyond all of this, what makes this retreat even more special is its story—Michelle and Dennis bought the land and built on this pine forest to save it from industrial felling, preserving its beauty and ensuring others could experience its tranquility.

What truly made this stay remarkable was Michelle and Dennis’s hospitality. Their attention to detail, warm energy, and effortless ability to make guests feel at ease set this retreat apart. They’ve created a space that’s not just about beautiful surroundings but also about making people feel genuinely welcome.

If you’re looking for a peaceful, well-run retreat in nature with outstanding service, thoughtful touches, that is eco friendly, ethically conscious and has a meaningful story behind it, this is the place. I wish I had more time. Maybe next time!

We had the most amazing winter vacation in Finland with Michelle and Dennis at Sixty Eight North. They went above and beyond for everything and we really couldn’t have imagined a more perfect vacation. They were extremely flexible, welcoming and friendly! Their attention to detail in every aspect of the trip was truly incredible!! We definitely recommend booking with them because we were able to do so many unique and authentic activities that we never would’ve been able to find by ourselves because of their great local relationships. Thank you so much Michelle and Dennis!!!!
