Why it's special

The cabin brings together a classic Finnish lakeside stay and a distinctly festive Santa theme. You have a sauna, fireplace with a baking oven, and a large veranda, while the lake is just 25 m away with its own boat. The setting is very quiet, and Christmas extras such as Santa visits, elves, and reindeer safaris can be arranged separately.

About this stay

This cabin sits 30 km west of Rovaniemi in a very quiet lakeside setting, with lake Sonkajärvi just 25 m away. Neighbours cannot be seen, and the cabin feels tucked into nature while still being within reach of the city and the Arctic Circle.

Inside, the log cabin is arranged for easy holiday living. The living room and kitchen include a convertible sofa for two extra beds, while a small sleeping room has two beds and the sleeping loft adds two more. There is one bathroom, a washing room, a dressing room, and Wi-Fi throughout. A heat-storing fireplace with a baking oven adds warmth and atmosphere, and the air source heat pump keeps the cabin at a comfortable temperature.

The sauna has an electric stove, and a 50 sqm veranda gives you space to sit outside and take in the calm surroundings. You also have your own boat on the lake, which is known for good fishing, including pike, perch, whitefish, and brown trout. Berry and mushroom picking terrain is nearby, and mountain bikes or snowshoes can be arranged separately.

Practical details are straightforward: the cabin is about 300 m from the public road, the bus stop is 500 m away, and Rovaniemi is 30 km away. Christmas-related services, Santa visits, elves, and reindeer safaris can be booked separately, and airport or railway station transfers are available for an extra charge. During Christmas, New Year, weeks 8 and 9, and Easter, only whole-week bookings apply.
