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 -
