Property Description

Property Summary

Nestled in the heart of Finnish Lapland, approximately 250 km north of Rovaniemi in Ylikyrö, Finland, this authentic log cabin holiday rental offers a truly immersive wilderness retreat for those seeking tranquility and natural beauty. Originally constructed in 1991 and thoughtfully renovated and extended in 2012, the property combines traditional Nordic craftsmanship with modern comfort. The cabin accommodates guests across 2 bedrooms on the main level, each furnished with 2 beds, as well as an additional sleeping area upstairs featuring 1 bed, accessible via an open-plan layout without a door. The living room and kitchen are combined into a single welcoming space, ideal for gathering after a day spent exploring the surrounding landscape. A traditional sauna equipped with both an electric and a wood-burning stove is available within the property, complemented by a dedicated washroom. The open porch provides a serene spot to take in the unspoiled natural surroundings that define this remarkable corner of Finland.

Outdoors

The outdoor spaces of this property are defined by their direct connection to the natural environment and the shores of Lake Saivojärvi, situated just 100 m from the cabin. The lake stretches approximately 1 km in length and 200 m in width, offering a peaceful and scenic setting throughout the seasons. The shoreline is shared with the owner's other cottage and features a jetty for convenient access to the water, along with the use of a private boat. It is important to note that the shore is characterized by a shallow depth and a soft mud bottom, making it unsuitable for children. A grill tepee located along the shore is shared with the neighboring cottage, providing a convivial outdoor space for cooking and socializing in the open air. The open porch attached to the cabin further extends the living space outdoors, inviting guests to relax and enjoy the surrounding wilderness in comfort.

Other Information

The cabin operates with a dual sauna system, offering both an electric stove and a wood-burning stove to suit different preferences and seasonal conditions. The upstairs sleeping area is accessible as part of an open-plan layout, as it does not feature a separate door, which guests should bear in mind when considering sleeping arrangements. The shoreline and the grill tepee are shared amenities used in conjunction with the owner's other cottage located nearby. Guests are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the specific characteristics of the lakeshore prior to use, particularly regarding its suitability for different age groups.
