Property info

The traditional Finnish log house is located 57 km from the center of Rovaniemi, in the middle of the forest, on the edge of the wilderness. The main house was built in 1934 and is made of solid logs in the traditional Finnish way. There is no permanent settlement nearby and the nearest neighbor is 15 kilometers away. Municipal engineering does not reach the manor house, so the tap comes with genuine spring water. There are 3 hectares of land around the building and there is a beautiful view of the lake from the window of the main house. There is an idyllic sauna cabin on the lake shore, which guests can use as agreed. There is also a hut made of gray logs in the courtyard area, where you can light a fire yourself and make coffee or prepare a meal. The hut's benches are lined with warm reindeer blankets and an open fire burns in the middle. You can drink a warm drink from a wooden mug called a kuksa.
