Property Description

Property Summary

Nestled on the shores of Lake Äkäsjärvi in Rauhala, Finland, this charming holiday rental occupies one half of a planed log semi-detached house unit spread across 3 floors, built in 1996. The property accommodates guests in a well-distributed layout that makes the most of its natural surroundings in the fell region of Lapland. The ground floor, referred to as the downstairs level, features a sauna, a washroom, and a living room with a convertible sofa bed. The middle floor hosts a combined living room and kitchen area, a bedroom with a double bed, and an open porch and balcony offering views of the surrounding landscape. The upper floor contains a sleeping loft accessible via steep stairs, fitted with 3 beds. A crib for a baby is available on request from the caretaker, subject to limited availability, and must be booked in advance and paid in cash upon arrival. A high chair can also be arranged alongside the crib. The property sits directly on the shore of Lake Äkäsjärvi, a large lake measuring 15 km in length and 2 km in width, placing guests in the heart of one of Finland's most scenic and activity-rich natural environments.

Outdoors

The outdoor spaces of this property offer a direct and immediate connection to the natural beauty of the Lapland fells. The open porch and balcony on the middle floor provide a comfortable vantage point from which to take in the surrounding landscape. The shoreline of Lake Äkäsjärvi lies just 30 metres from the property, featuring a shallow shore with a hard, rocky moraine bottom that is well suited for safe access to the water. Guests have access to their own boat, making it easy to explore the lake at leisure. The shore is shared with the neighbouring cottage, and a campfire place along with a lean-to shelter on the shore are available for shared use, offering an authentic outdoor experience in keeping with the traditions of Finnish lakeside living.

Other Information

The property is one half of a semi-detached log house unit and shares the shoreline with one other cottage. Guests should be aware that the sleeping loft on the upper floor is accessed via steep stairs, which may not be suitable for all guests. The area surrounding the property is rich in outdoor activities throughout the year, with ski trails and snowmobile trails located close by. Fishing and hunting are both available in the area, though the relevant licences are required and guests are responsible for obtaining these independently. The Ylläs-Pallastunturi National Park begins on the opposite side of the lake, offering exceptional opportunities for hiking and nature exploration. A crib for a baby is available from the caretaker upon request, subject to limited availability, and must be booked in advance. A high chair can be arranged together with the crib. Both items must be paid for in cash upon arrival.
