- Feedback from our guest
You’re in genuine local hands
Meet your hostesses, sisters Kaisu and Heli, local fisherman’s daughters that make your stay in Skábma a custom experience with their natural brand of Lappish hospitality.
Nature is our grandest room
We do our very best for you inside Skábma. But outside there are bigger forces at play. Natural phenomena like the Aurora Borealis, the Polar Night and the Midnight Sun make Lapland the mysteriously enchanting place it is.
– It’s also the simple things: crisp and clear winter mornings, a calm lake Inari on a summer night – nature offers breath-taking moments in all seasons, say Kaisu and Heli.
The relaxed pace of life in Skábma is dictated by the pure, untamed nature that unfolds from the doorstep.
Stay in and explore local food
Skábma transforms into your own private dining room. Our chef will happily take over the kitchen and prepare authentic Lappish dishes from local ingredients. Dress up nice or enjoy dinner in your sweat pants – the night is yours.
Welcome to Skábma – the best private stay in Lapland.
