Property Description

Property Summary

Nestled on a lush lawn plot along the shores of the magnificent lake Raanujärvi in Finland, this charming log-panelled cabin offers an authentic and immersive Nordic retreat. Built in 1997, the property sits on the border between Rovaniemi and Pello, placing you within easy reach of 2 notable towns while surrounding you with the serene beauty of Finnish lakeside nature. Birch trees grace the plot, adding natural elegance to the setting. The cabin accommodates guests across its thoughtfully arranged interior, which features a living room and kitchen area with a sofa bed on the ground floor, while the upper level hosts a double bed, 2 single beds, each measuring 1 m in width, and an additional sofa bed accessible via a steep staircase to the loft. A washroom with toilet and a shower complete the indoor facilities. This holiday rental is equipped with Internet Wifi, ensuring you remain connected throughout your stay even in this peaceful natural environment. Please note that the cabin does not feature an indoor sauna, as the sauna experience is reserved for the dedicated lakeside facility on the property.

Outdoors

The outdoor spaces of this lakeside cabin are designed to immerse you fully in the surrounding Finnish nature. A covered terrace and a balcony provide comfortable spots to relax and take in the views of the landscape, while the expansive lawn plot stretches down toward the water's edge. The property sits just 45 m from lake Raanujärvi, a generous body of water stretching 12 km in length and 3 km in width, offering a shallow beach with a soft bottom that is ideal for safe and leisurely swimming. A private pier extends over the lake, and a rowing boat is available for your use, inviting you to explore the calm waters at your own pace. A campfire site situated directly by the lake provides a wonderful setting for evenings under the open sky, and firewood is made available to guests from the storage area in front of the warehouse. Should the supply run out, additional firewood must be purchased independently. The lakeside sauna is a highlight of the outdoor experience, featuring a steam room, a dressing room, and its own terrace. Heated by wood, this traditional Finnish sauna is equipped with electric lighting, and water can be pumped directly from the lake. The lakeside sauna is available for use during the summer season from 1 May to 30 September.

Other Information

The property welcomes pets, though guests travelling with an animal are kindly requested to add the final cleaning service to their reservation at the time of booking. The cabin's staircase leading to the loft is steep in nature, and guests should take this into consideration when planning their stay, particularly when travelling with young children or guests with limited mobility.
