This cozy cottage in Sotkamo, in the Vuokatti area of Kainuu, sits close to the forest and feels made for easy days outdoors. The bright dining and living room looks out through large windows, and the log-paneled interior gives the cottage a warm, traditional feel.
The cottage has a separate kitchen, a dining set for six, and a fireplace beside a sofa bed for one or two. Upstairs, there is one bedroom with separate beds, plus an open loft with a double bed and an extra bed, with the space partly divided by a wall. A wood-heated sauna, wood-heated kettle in the washroom, shower, and separate toilet keep the stay practical after active days.
Outside, a large covered terrace with seating for four gives you another place to sit in the fresh air. Parking is right in front of the cottage, with a heating plug for a car, and there is also storage for skis and downhill gear. An electric car charging station is available for an extra fee and needs to be arranged in advance with the owner.
Cross-country ski trails start about 100 m away, and the snowmobile trail is also close. Vuokatti ski center is 3 km away, with a beach, spa, golf, and hiking routes within easy reach around Sotkamo.
