It’s peak season at Santa’s Post Office right now and the elves need your help to sort thousands of letters!
Listed by Chief Elf via Airbnb, Santa’s Arctic Circle Cabin is available for two adults and two children to experience a one-time ‘working stay’ between December 18th – 21st. And the kicker? It’s FREE!
The stay is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a family to roll up their sleeves and experience life as the elves do in Rovaniemi at the peak of the Christmas season. Guests will have to empty mailboxes, stamp letters, cross-reference with The List (you know the one) and tend to critical elf duties.
And at the end of the day’s work, they get to stay at Santa’s Cabin.

But it’s not all work and no play. Guests are also treated to snowmobile rides, a trip to see the Northern Lights and a traditional Finnish sauna.
“The elves have been working around the clock to transform Santa Claus’ Cabin into a winter wonderland. We want this to be a magical and immersive experience for a family in search of the ultimate yuletide experience. Not only will guests get to sleep in Santa Claus’ Cabin, they’ll also get a sneak peek behind the scenes of the world’s Official Santa Claus’ Post Office during our liveliest time of the year.”
