Joiku - Kero

Kero is a spacious, modern holiday home within Joiku Resort in Äkäslompolo, completed in 2024. This 3-bedroom property combines clean Nordic design with practical comforts, including an inviting terrace with a smokeless fire pit. Large windows look out to pine trees, creating a calming backdrop. The iconic Ylläs Swing & Äkäslompolo lake are just outside the resort, ideal spots for photos or Northern Lights viewing. Ski trails, shops, & local restaurants are all nearby. The space Kero offers a considered layout that balances open shared spaces with private corners for relaxation. The main living area features a high ceiling and full-width windows facing the surrounding trees, filling the interior with natural light and a sense of calm. An elegant fireplace divides the space, creating a warm focal point whether you’re enjoying a quiet evening or gathering for a meal. The kitchen is equipped for longer stays, with generous counter space, a hidden breakfast cupboard, and quality appliances, including a fully automatic coffee machine that prepares everything from espressos to iced milk drinks. From here, step onto the terrace to enjoy fresh air and the smokeless Solo Stove fire pit—perfect for grilling or simply relaxing outdoors. All three bedrooms are designed with flexibility in mind. Each features beds that can be arranged as singles or combined into generous doubles, with crisp percale cotton linens and thick mattress toppers for comfort. A dedicated workstation on the mezzanine offers a quiet spot for remote work or reading. On the ground floor, a spacious bathroom with dual showers and a private sauna provides an easy transition from outdoor activities to relaxation. A separate utility area with a washing machine, drying cabinet, and warm storage ensures convenience during longer stays. Sustainability is central to the design: the property is powered by a water-air heat pump and solar panels. Underfloor heating keeps the house consistently comfortable, whatever the season. The property is located in Äkäslompolo village, just a short walk from shops, restaurants, and Finland’s longest cross-country ski trail network, which stretches over 300 km. In summer and autumn, hiking and biking routes begin close by, and the lakeshore offers opportunities for paddling and fishing. The Ylläs Swing, a favourite spot for admiring Lapland’s vast scenery, is only steps from the resort grounds. Bus connections from Kittilä Airport and Kolari station make arrival easy, whether visiting with family, friends, or colleagues.
