Unique Vacation Rental with a Translucent Roof Beneath the Northern Lights near Kiruna, Sweden
This unique vacation rental is located near Kiruna, Sweden, and can accommodate two guests for an equally unique getaway to the snowy wonderland of the Arctic Circle and Swedish Lapland. Featuring a completely translucent glass roof, the getaway provides guests with a bucket-list-worthy opportunity to sleep directly beneath the Midnight Sun in the summer and the Northern Lights in the autumn and winter. The walls on two sides of the retreat are completely translucent as well, allowing guests to feel a sense of total immersion in the site's natural environment. Through the glass walls, they will be able to enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding woodlands and the Torne River, which flows just footsteps away from the rental.
While the accommodation provides an experience that is in many ways akin to living beneath the open sky, it is also a modern accommodation that provides guests with a comfortable space in which to sleep and relax. Inside, guests will find heating, a stove, a table with chairs, and a sofa that converts into a full-size bed. Linens, towels, room service, breakfast, and welcome snacks and drinks are provided. Lunch and dinner can be ordered from the host as well.
Just a short walk away from the retreat, guests will find a bathhouse that is equipped with a toilet, a sink, a shower, and a washing machine. There is also a wood-heated sauna that can be prepared for an additional fee.
The coniferous forest that surrounds the getaway provides an idyllic setting in which to reconnect to the great outdoors, as long as guests have the right gear to stay warm and handle the snow. Fortunately, warm clothes, shoes, and snowshoes can be borrowed directly from the host!
