Property Description

Property Summary

Nestled in the heart of Finnish Lapland, this charming log cottage offers an authentic and peaceful holiday rental experience in the Kuusamo region of Finland, located 26.5 km north of the town centre.

The cottage is spread across a ground floor of 54 m² and a loft of 21 m², offering a well-considered layout for guests seeking tranquillity and nature. The ground floor features a comfortable bedroom with 2 beds and a combined kitchen and living room that serves as the social heart of the home. An electric sauna is also available, providing the quintessential Finnish relaxation experience after a day of outdoor adventures. The loft, accessible via steep stairs, offers additional sleeping space with 2 beds and 2 mattresses, though guests should be aware that the ceilings are sloping with a maximum height of 160 cm at the highest point.

Outdoors

A private pier extends over the lake, offering a perfect spot for fishing, relaxing in the open air, or simply taking in the breathtaking natural surroundings. The immediate outdoor environment reflects the unspoiled beauty of the Finnish landscape, with the forest and lakeside setting creating an atmosphere of complete seclusion and calm.

The electric sauna is available for use within the property, representing a true highlight of any stay in Finland. Guests are encouraged to familiarise themselves with the layout of the loft prior to arrival, particularly those travelling with young children or individuals with limited mobility, given the nature of the staircase and ceiling height.
