This cabin sits 25 km south-west of Rovaniemi, beside the quiet waters of Isonmaanlampi pond. It is a 1970 log cottage, renovated in 2005, and it keeps a simple, cosy feel with a kitchen, a bedroom, an alcove with a door, and a fireplace room with two separate beds.
The cabin is made for slow days and warm evenings. There is an electric sauna inside, and a separate pondside sauna with a dressing room, where water is carried from the pond. Two fireplaces and a wood-heated stove add to the atmosphere, while the terrace gives you a place to sit out and take in the stillness.
Outside, the pond is close enough for swimming from the jetty, and you also have an own boat. The setting is very peaceful, with no other cottages on the shore, and the lean-to and campfire spot make it easy to spend time outdoors in any season.
Practical notes matter here too: the tap water contains iron, so the owner brings drinking water. Snowshoes can be rented, and winter guests have access to ski tracks nearby. Rovaniemi city centre, Ounasvaara ski resort, the Arctic Circle and Santa Claus Holiday Village are all within day-trip range.
