This place perfectly combines traditional Finnish cottage life with modern comforts. From our cabin, you have a stunning view of the winter landscapes, and during the winter months, you might even get to admire the magical northern lights right from the cabin's yard. Relax by the fireplace with woolen socks on and enjoy this peaceful moment with your family. The cabin is the perfect getaway for holidaymakers – we offer various activities year-round! ❄️ In winter, skiing trails take you straight into the forest, and there is a small sledding hill right in the yard! As night falls, it’s time to enjoy the warmth of a traditional Finnish wood-burning sauna and take a dip in the ice-cold hole. This, if anything, will make your holiday unforgettable. 🌞 In the summer, you can go boating, fishing, and paddleboarding directly from your own shore. In the midnight sun, the sun never sets, instead illuminating the horizon, creating a magical atmosphere that lasts the whole night. At the cabin, you can enjoy peace, relaxation, and togetherness without the feeling of being rushed. Come experience authentic cottage life and vacation in the heart of nature! ATTENTION!! \-It is not safe to go on the ice during the winter! Access is at your own risk. \-Smoking is STRICTLY PROHIBITED INSIDE. Smoking is ONLY allowed at the designated smoking area outdoors. \- The owners live in another building located near the accommodation. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Sauna ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bidet - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Fireplace ### Entertainment - Games - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - One pet total ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ## Similar properties ![Smart TV, stereo](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/120000000/119190000/119189300/119189230/24069c4b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Arctic Star Villa - Sauna & Jacuzzi Rovaniemi - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-14&endDate=2025-10-15&selected=119189230&PinnedHotelID=119189230&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/72000000/71420000/71417700/71417640/427a8e43.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Authentic Wooden House with a Real Snow Igloo Rovaniemi - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly - Free WiFi 9.0 Wonderful 7 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-14&endDate=2025-10-15&selected=71417640&PinnedHotelID=71417640&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Courtyard](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/5000000/4400000/4399800/4399778/24ffaba5.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Santa Claus Holiday Village Rovaniemi - Breakfast included - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Parking included 9.4 Exceptional 1,330 reviews CA $173 CA $198 total includes taxes & fees Oct 11 - Oct 12 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-11&endDate=2025-10-12&selected=4399778&PinnedHotelID=4399778&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/107000000/106640000/106635600/106635581/9123f4c3.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Authentic Arctic Villa at the River Delta in Rovaniemi Rovaniemi - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 1 review CA $392 CA $672 total includes taxes & fees Oct 24 - Oct 25 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-24&endDate=2025-10-25&selected=106635581&PinnedHotelID=106635581&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/113000000/112790000/112783400/112783304/d0af420b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Arctic Aurora Villa W/ Sauna.
