Log Cabins

We have three types of small, rustic log cabins available, each with different facilities and ranging in size. All have electric heating and hot & cold running water. Our tap water is pure spring water to the highest drinking water standards. The cabins have lake views and have been hand-made by Seppo in the early eighties. They were upgraded in 1994, 2006 and again in 2021. Please go to the Gallery page for interior photos.

Sheets and towels can be rented from us, or you can bring your own. The cabins must be cleaned before checking out or an additional cleaning fee is charged. The lakeside saunas can be hired for private use and there are swimming areas carved out of the ice. Sauna bookings are taken online and on site. Husky tours should be booked early, as they fill up very quickly. Skis, snowshoes, ice-skates and ice fishing equipment are free for our guests to use in winter on site and in our forest, but they can't be taken with you on day trips elsewhere. Your own pets are not allowed.
We accept all major credit cards except American Express and Diners Club.

We have free 5G internet data coverage and a limited wifi range, so please check your mobile data settings before departure. Please remember that the cabins are small and cosy, and situated in a remote area. They don't have room for large suitcases, so it's best to travel light. Log cabin bookings must be made in advance via the links below and payments are taken a month in advance.
Our availability opens on 1st May for the following winter here.

Grey Log Cabins

We have 3 grey log cabins, consisting of a washroom with shower and wc, and a small main room with a queen size double bed including duvets and pillows.

These cabins are suitable for couples.

Extras

We do not charge for firewood, however, please read the fireplace instructions carefully before lighting a fire. It is also customary in Scandinavia to clean your cabin before leaving, so cleaning equipment is provided in the cabin. This helps to keep the cost of the accommodation down. If you don't want to clean your cabin, an additional cleaning fee of 75€ is payable before checking out.

Cabins are checked on the day of departure.

We have two saunas on site that can be hired for private use:

* Puolukka sauna: 20€/adult/50 mins, 10€/child, including towels, soft drinks and winter swimming - bookable on-site only

* Mustikka sauna: 60€/adult/90 mins, including towels, soft drinks and winter swimming - bookable online here

We also hire winter overalls and boots: 10€/person/day

Food

We have a lovely café and restaurant on site :)

However, if you'd like to cook yourselves, the cabins have a basic kitchenette, so it's also possible to prepare your own simple meals. All the cabins have a fridge and a stove top, two pots and a frying pan, a microwave oven, a toaster, a kettle and a drip coffee percolator for filter coffee. Basic cooking utencils and tableware including cutlery, bowls, plates, cups and glasses, are also provided. The tap water is pure, fresh drinking water, from a natural spring in the village, so it's not necessary to by bottled water.

There are no supermarkets nearby, the nearest one is 60km away in Rovaniemi, called K-Citymarket. There is a small shop and fuel station 35 km away to the south in Vikajärvi, and a kiosk, bar and fuel station 8 km to the north at Käyrämö.
