In Finland, the interest in rental cabins has surged, especially during the winter holiday weeks, as reported by Ilta-Sanomat. The Finnish Rental Owners Association mentioned that short-term renting of cabins is becoming increasingly popular among both domestic and international travelers. Since the pandemic, this trend has notably grown as many seek a safe and enjoyable getaway in nature.

Particularly in Lapland, the demand for rental accommodations has been booming, with expectations that commercial accommodation days in Rovaniemi alone could reach approximately 1.3 million, marking an increase of about 80,000 days compared to the previous winter. This significant spike indicates not only a recovery but a continuing growth in tourism in the region, primarily fueled by winter sports and scenic retreats.

However, with the high turnover of guests in these rental cabins, there is a potential for unexpected and unpleasant surprises, such as inadequate cleaning or other issues that may arise during stays. Ilta-Sanomat is collecting reader experiences, inviting them to share their stories of any strange or disappointing situations encountered during their cabin rentals, which may lead to a broader discussion on quality and expectations in the rental market in Finland.
