Property Description

Property Summary

Nestled in the heart of the Finnish wilderness near Saarijärvi, Finland, this characterful wooden cabin holiday rental offers a truly immersive escape into nature, steeped in the atmosphere of the early 1900s. The old buildings, each with their own yards, evoke a village-like charm that harmonises beautifully with the surrounding landscape. The cozy interior honours this heritage through carefully preserved old furniture, objects, and textiles that tell the story of a bygone era. The cabin features a welcoming dining hall and a combined living room and kitchen, alongside 1 bedroom with a double bed and a bathroom equipped with a WC and shower cubicle. A loft, accessible via steep, narrow ladder-like stairs, provides additional sleeping space with sofas and a double bed, while the upper level of the loft offers a cozy sleeping area with 4 floor mattresses. Please note that the loft does not have heating. Completing the interior, a large, glazed living area provides generous space for both lounging and dining. The property is self-service and has been thoughtfully designed with biodiversity in mind, offering tenants biodegradable detergents and opportunities for waste sorting. The farm operates under a solar energy electricity contract, reflecting a genuine commitment to sustainable living.

Outdoors

The outdoor spaces of this property are as enchanting as the interior, beginning with the yard where a separate wood-heated sauna sits beside a small grassy pond. Water for this sauna is carried directly from the pond, and the sauna is equipped with electric lighting, making it a comfortable and atmospheric retreat at any hour. A second sauna is located at the shore of pond Havulampi, approximately 350 meters from the cabin. This lakeside sauna also features a wood-heated stove, with water carried from the lake, though it does not have electric lighting. Adjacent to this shore sauna, a small separate building houses a dressing room and a bunk bed, providing a convenient and private space for those enjoying time by the water. The shore itself is graced with a pier and a private rowing boat, inviting leisurely outings on the calm waters of the pond. The surrounding grounds, with their distinct yards and wilderness setting, offer ample space to unwind and connect with the natural environment that defines this remarkable destination.
