Tripplo’s hotel summary
Tripplo’s analysis · Updated 20 October 2026 · How we review hotels
Northern Lights Ranch is built for one thing: watching the sky. Its cabins sit in quiet countryside about 17 km from Levi, and each has a heated glass ceiling above the bed, so on a clear night the aurora becomes part of the room. Guests describe the cabins as warm, stylish and very comfortable, and they speak just as warmly about the restaurant, the breakfast and the staff. Ice skating and snowshoeing are free, and husky, reindeer and ski trips can be arranged on site, with canoeing, hiking and fishing in autumn. The remoteness is also the main trade-off. Levi's restaurants and slopes are a drive away, and the airport is 31 km off. WiFi is weak in places, the common area closes early and the menu can feel short on a longer stay. Couples who want a calm, cosy base for Lapland's sky and snow will find it here; anyone who wants evenings out in Levi should stay in the village.
- The heated glass ceiling is the point of the stay, and many guests describe lying in bed and watching the aurora through it. Guests call the remote setting perfect for sky-watching.
- Guests find the cabins stylish, spotless and wonderfully warm after a day in the cold, with very comfortable beds and a thoughtful design that makes them feel special.
- The ranch lies about 17 km from Levi and 31 km from Kittilä Airport. The quiet is the appeal, but restaurants, shops and the slopes in Levi need a car, a transfer or a booked excursion.
- WiFi is the area guests are least happy with, and some describe the connection in the cabins as weak and unstable.
