One of the most popular ski destinations in Northern Lapland, you'll appreciate everything there is to discover here. This warm and inviting home is classic Scandinavia, the unfussy, functional interiors giving just enough of a homespun feel, so you’ve got somewhere welcoming to return to at the end of an action-packed day. The sauna is an inviting refuge from sub-zero temperatures – kick back and let your muscles release. There's also a storage area for your equipment, facilitating all of your winter adventures. This place gets you on a high, the thrills of fresh powder and perhaps the appearance of Aurora Borealis elevating you to new levels of excitement. You’ll slide into the rhythm of life here in no time and struggle to leave. See you on the slopes.

Make the most of the snow with endless days, skiing in Rukatunturi or snuggling up indoors at this classy home. The interior is stylish and refined thanks to the silver and grey tones; you also benefit from a fireplace and electric sauna so you’re never without warmth and comfort. Enjoy the views from the dining area over a family meal, or from the balcony as you savour the cool breeze. The ski area is a short walk away – you can reach it just by crossing the road. Get your skis out and have a blast with family and friends on the slopes and warm up once you’re back home with a hot chocolate by the fire and a relaxing session in the sauna.

Leaving this cabin after your winter vacation is over, you’ll be eager for the cold weather to return so you can make your way back here. The slopes at Rukatunturi and Oulanka National Park’s trails are just a short trip away but you’re likely to spend most of your time at home chilling with family, relaxing in the sauna, soaking in the whirlpool bath and enjoying the ambience of staying in such a rustic, yet modern home. Make breakfast in the fully-equipped kitchen and tuck into your meal on the log table. When you feel like a camping experience, sit outside in the cooking tent, whip up your best dishes and turn dinnertime into a merry and memorable occasion. Thanks to the fireplace, the living area is always warm, so watching the next episode of your favourite series with appetisers and drinks is bound to be a daily occurrence.

Made of ancient silver logs, this home emerges from between the quiet trees of the forest landscape as if it’s always stood there. In a peaceful part of the area close to the Swedish border, it’s in a great position for exploring the quieter town of Yllasjarvi, or the livelier resort of Iso-Ylläs. This cabin is ideal for a group of friends or families holidaying together. It’s all functional comfort and welcoming warmth, the multiple fireplaces adding extra snugness in the social spaces. There’s even a fireplace on the all-wood veranda outside. The cabin is dotted with little luxuries too. Every bedroom has its own bathroom and there’s a ski waxing room to ensure smooth gliding along the cross country trails in the area. It’s the private sauna that really tops it off for us. Throw some water on the löyly to really get the humidity going. Embrace the Finnish tradition and jump in the snow afterwards. 

Knots and Burls

Just outside the Arctic city of Rovaniemi, this cabin sits in a patch of forest, surrounded by trees. It sits atop the Ounasvaara plateau, one of the best spots to witness the Northern Lights while remaining close to the city. Winter sports enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to the Olympic training centre, for ice hockey matches in winter and forest assault courses in summer.

It’s a traditional, Finnish-style cabin with the clapboard painted red on the outside and all pinewood inside. The ground floor is dedicated to a dine-in kitchen with a sofa for unwinding, where a wood-burning stove crackling away in the evening keeps things cosy. Tucked up in the A-frame loft space, you’ll find a second bedroom and lounge area with a TV. A wooden veranda lets you sit outside and listen to the sounds of nature around you.

Enter into the height of hygge living with this cosy cabin on the sprawling banks of Lake Solojärvi. Located just thirteen minutes from Inari, this lodge in the sticks has everything you might need for a tranquil getaway from the hustle and bustle back home. We love the timber-heavy interiors, striking fire and sliding glass doors that offer views of the picturesque landscape all around – as if you'd need reminding. Stepping out the front door, there's a decked terrace that leads to your very own sauna for the ultimate rest and relaxation. Whether you've been fly fishing over the river Juutuanjoki (a seven-minute drive away), hiking the Lemmenjoki national park (a twenty-six-minute drive), or taking in the breathtaking views over the sand beach right next to your home, any day is best bookmarked with a detox by the wood-burning sauna stove. Come evening, we recommend sitting out on the terrace, sipping sundowners and watching the starry night sky twinkle overhead.

When we think of Lapland, we think of the Northern lights, lots of snow, and cute as a button wooden chalets. And this home isn't disappointing. While we can't make any promises about the aurora borealis, we can tell you that this wooden cabin is serving up some seriously homely vibes. Set near a lake - which is perfect for summertime dips - the plot is traditionally Scandinavian. Thick tree trunks have been used to create the walls, while further wood panelling separates the bedrooms. The combined living space has got an L-shaped sofa for nights snuggled in front of the fire. A small kitchen has got everything needed for lighter meals. For those hitting the slopes, there's a communal ski waxing room to prep your equipment. And of course, what lodge would be complete without its own sauna to sweat it out after a long day?

Sure, you could head out into the snowy expanse of Finnish Lapland to hunt for the Northern Lights. Or, you could lay back in your big double bed and watch as the Aurora Borealis put on a spellbinding display above you. This igloo-style cabin has a glass roof, so you can keep an eye on the sky all throughout the night. Or, perhaps get the sunken hot tub bubbling outside and keep warm as you scan the sky. During the day, you can gaze out of picture-frame windows at the dense pine forests around you. It’s a soothing medley of ink-black and pinewood inside, reflecting the calm of the forest outside, and we love the Japanese onsen-style bathroom with its own sauna. 

You’re in the heart of Lapland, where the snowy landscape is a winter wonderland in the colder months. Hopping on a snowmobile, you can reach the lift to the ski slopes of Levi in five minutes and there’s a supermarket nearby too. The Arcandia Arctic Amusement park is also just a ten-minute shoop by snowmobile.

Lyra's Hideaway

Garden

Cute as a reindeer’s button nose, this log cabin sits in the Finnish wilderness. The shores of Lake Vanttausjärvi are 20 metres away where you can take a boat out in summer for a spot of fishing (a rowing boat and outboard are included with a stay here). But it’s winter when this place really comes into its own. A cosy classic cabin vibe awaits, as towering pines are laden with snow and the scenery is blissfully silent. You may even spot the Northern Lights above. As snow blankets the land, keep warm in the outdoor hot tub or with a session in the garden sauna. Then there’s the lakeside summer kitchen, which could be a misnomer as it’s heated and a delight to cook in during the winter months too. Perhaps grill some of your own freshly-caught fish in the wood fire here. 

Inside, this home has all the trappings of a traditional log cabin – antler candelabra, whitewashed log walls on display and a wood-burning stove at the heart of the home. A picture-frame window displays the snowy landscape proudly, particularly enjoyable when curled up with a cup of cocoa on the L-shaped sofa. A full kitchen provides everything you need for self-catering, and the closest shop is a ten-minute snowmobile ride (or even-minute drive) away in Vanttauskoski. 

Lappish Dream

Traverse the perfect pistes and tantalising trails of Finland’s largest ski resort in magical Lapland. This cosy apartment is in an Alpine-style stone house just 150m from the main slope, so during ski season you can pretty much rise and glide. Check the weather from your living room window — if it’s a whiteout, then swap the slopes for a pamper day at one of the nearby spas or catch a movie in the local cinema. In summer once the snow has melted, the twenty-four hours of sunshine illuminate the lush green fells, while shorter winter days are for sleigh rides, snowmobile safaris and hunting the Northern Lights. After a day packed with outdoor adventures, soothe tired muscles in your private sauna. When it’s time for apres-ski activities (whether you’ve actually hit the slopes or not), there’s a restaurant on the ground floor that plays live music — don’t worry, the apartment is well soundproofed. Once you’re warmed up, you can head next door to the karaoke bar to belt out a tune, although it might take some Dutch (or in this case, Finnish) courage. If a cosy night in is more your style, then why not gather around the dining table for a homecooked meal before sipping a nightcap on the glazed balcony with a view of the pine trees.

Skiing in Finland is an experience all lovers of the slopes should enjoy at some point, with thick snow and fairytale forests. This mountain home is within walking distance of the excellent Masto runs, with views far across the rocky landscape. Within a striking modern building, it's stone and dark grey cladding is an imposing sight. Inside, you'll be wowed by its floor-to-ceiling windows, its double height main room and its stylish Scandi design features. Warm up around the fire, pull up a chair and read by the window, or treat yourself to time alone in the private sauna. If you're here for the skiing, it's practically on your doorstep, and there's lockable ski storage outside. Visit in the summer for a very different view, with lush green hills perfect for hiking.

Summit Lux

Now, this is what you call a log cabin: a striking, sturdy wooden home, made from centuries-old Kelo wood. In case you’re wondering (we were), Kelo is an old, dried-out pine tree that’s shed its bark. It’s a natural antique, unique to the arctic region. And this home has it in double-height abundance. If it wasn’t for the wood, there’d be an echo inside the vast living space, but the rough edges and super-smooth panelling combine to give this home warmth. The wood burner and customary sauna help too, of course. There’s a generous covered porch for kicking off your kit after a day on the slopes, and a ski waxing room so you can prep for the next day. All told, it’s a fabulous family space inside a great big chunk of tree, conveniently located for the ski bus.

If you go down to the woods today, you're sure of a big surprise; a warm and toasty home fit for any intrepid adventurer! From the moment you step through the front door, this lakeside cottage wraps you up in a warm embrace, welcoming you in with ultimate Nordic comfort. We love this home for its cosy atmosphere, wild location and ease of access to everything guests might need, including its own shore and rowboat for days when the water calls.

Start each day the right way with a mug of something hot and a belly full of delicious local delights before grabbing your skis and heading to the slopes, which can be reached in a short eight-minute drive from the cottage. When the day is drawing to a close and the chill in your toes has you calling for warmth, head on home and relax in your private sauna, or snuggle up on the sofa, toasting marshmallows by the fireplace. For guests with children, a little quiet time is just around the corner as the PlayStation 2 and its arsenal of games will keep the kids entertained.

Toasted Marshmallows

Like something you’d find in a Nordic fairytale, this rustic log cabin on the outskirts of Ruka, Finland, is all about getting back to nature. Surrounded by trees, the home feels at one with its forest surroundings, made entirely of timber inside and out. Cabin comfort is the name of the game indoors, with antler art, reindeer ornaments and nature-inspired art evoking traditional Finnish charm. Snuggle up on the big, grey sofa with a mug of coffee while you warm yourself up by the log fire. After a day of snowshoeing along the nearby Pyhän Jyssäys trail or exploring the Oulanka National Park (thirty minutes away by car), come back home for rest and relaxation in your private sauna. Then, cook up a hearty meal in the sleek, modern kitchen or keep the cabin culture going strong with a barbecue in the great outdoors. With Ruka village just seven minutes away by car and Kuusamo’s centre under thirty minutes away, this home is remote while still being well connected.

Perched on the edge of Lake Livojärvi, you’ll find this cabin waiting to reveal the magic of Finland’s wild and beautiful landscape. 

Just a short drive south from the centre of Posio, the adventure begins from the moment of arrival. Surrounded by trees with idyllic views across the lake, this is the kind of space that feels instantly welcoming. From the traditional wood design to the simple styling, every detail celebrates the natural abundance of the environment. 

Stepping outside, you’ll find a little boat ready to take you across the lake. But if you feel like staying on dry land, the wood-burning sauna is the perfect spot to relax and unwind. 

From here, days can be spent hiking through the nearby Hirsiniemi region, wild swimming, sightseeing and visiting the resident reindeer at Valkean Peuran Valtakunta (just a short drive away).

Wherever you find yourself, this home makes it easy to enjoy the timeless appeal of outdoor living. You’ll find a smoking oven and patio by the beach, while the indoor fire brings warmth and joy to cosy nights in the wild. 

Lake of Stillness

In the southernmost fell in Finland, you will find this simple, cabin-like dwelling. The apartment is in a semi-detached house, offering you all the privacy of a home. The humble interiors are bright and wood-panelled, for a cosy time in the woods. Outside, there is a covered terrace and grilling hut for prepping fresh meals while you listen to birds whistle or watch the snow falling. The home is not far from the slopes; the freshly groomed trails of Pikku-Syöte await. In the summer, explore the endless green expanse of Syöte National Park, plentiful berries, and midnight sun over the stunning nearby lakes. Last but certainly not least, the home has its own sauna, for a true Finnish experience after a day in the wilderness. 

Midnight Sun

Chancing across this cute-as-a-button log cabin in the depths of winter, you might feel like you’ve stumbled into a fairy-tale. With walls made of jumbo logs and a thick blanket of snow on the roof, it’s got magic written all over it. Inside it’s as cosy as can be, with an open fire, animal pelts and contemporary furniture that contrasts perfectly with the rustic architecture. Three extra beds in the balcony area give options for families and friends sharing an enchanting break, and there’s a sauna for the full Finnish experience. You’re within walking distance (20 minutes) of Levi Centre, so you can ditch the car if you’re happy to stay local. With ski slopes, snowmobile tracks and cross-country ski trails galore, we don’t see why you’d want to go anywhere else. 

Snow Kiss

Perched on the banks of lake Yli-Suolijärvi in northern Finland, this recently-finished cabin is a wonderful place for a wintery escape. There are four pairs of snowshoes, as well as a bobsleigh, sledges and sliders available for guests to use to explore the immediate vicinity. Kirintövaara resort takes twenty minutes to reach in the car, as does Riisitunturi National Park. And then, once you've spent a few hours having fun in the snow, you can return to the home to warm up. This being Finland, there's a sauna in the house for you to take advantage of, but there's also underfloor heating and a hot tub outside, if you're feeling particularly brave. After a hearty dinner prepared in the minimalist kitchen, we can imagine no more satisfying end to the day than lounging about on the leather sofas and watching the snow fall through the window that takes up one side of the living room.

Saint Nicholas

Whether you're sweating it out in this home's private sauna or curled up with a book watching the snow fall on the pine trees, this home is a modern take on the traditional wooden lodge. Set in the heart of Lapland and a 10-minute drive from Ylläs ski resort, this spot has got everything needed for fabulous group holidays. When you're not hitting the slopes, there are sledges for exploring the woods, or during summer jump into the nearby lake, just five minutes away by car. The long evenings can be spent relaxing on the balcony on the home's wicker furniture, watching the endless twilight glow - we recommend stocking up the modern white kitchen with plenty of drinks and snacks and making a night of it. During winter, the living room fire will keep you cosy, and you can watch the snow fall through the double height windows.  

Reindeer's Reach

Just minutes from the ski lift, this contemporary apartment is in the eye-catching Levi Kunkku building, built in 2020 and containing everything you might need for an Alpine stay in Finland – there are restaurants, bars, and even a karaoke bar. The double-height living room allows for plenty of light to stream in, while the wood-clad walls ensure there’s a cosy lodge vibe to this modern apartment in the mountains. From the living area, you can walk right out onto your very own balcony which provides fantastic views of the front slope – pick out which slope you fancy slaloming down later while drinking your morning coffee. There’s also an all-important Finnish sauna to help you unwind and undo any tightness or knots that may arise after hours out on the mountain, before heading downstairs to the on-site restaurant or bar. Don’t feel like hitting the clubs tonight? Don’t worry – this modern building has been soundproofed to ensure a good night’s sleep. After all, there’s another day of skiing to get on with tomorrow.

This Kittilä cabin is the epitome of wilderness chic. Made up almost entirely of logs, you’ll find fur-lined seats next to an exposed stone fireplace in the living room. The wall art is a reminder of the reindeer that roam the evergreen Lapland forests in the area. Step out the front door and explore this tranquil wilderness on the sledges and scooters at hand. Or head out for a day of skiing at nearby Levi, which is one of Finland's most popular ski resorts – spend a day on the slopes knowing there’s a drying cabinet back home for all your wet gear. After a day of adventures, relax your muscles in the in-house sauna or get some shut-eye in one of the three cosy bedrooms. Though the setting is rustic, you’ll still have access to a few key modern comforts – there’s a TV with Chromecast and the host has provided a tablet with wifi for those who need to quickly check in with the office. 

White Reindeer

If you're looking for a remote location to escape the fuss and flutter of daily life, then this cosy cabin on the banks of Lake Akanjärvi is sure to fit the bill. Set in the woodlands, just over twenty minutes from the resort town of Levi, this home offers the best of both worlds – isolation, tranquillity, and yet only a short drive from civilisation. Plus, there's the added bonus of being a mere 40-metres from a natural beach, shared with neighbouring cabins. It's the perfect spot to get away from it all and embrace the slow pace of the Finnish countryside. We love how the scandi-style interiors give off a modern look, while the plump grey sofas, animal print rugs, wooden structure and stone hearth fireplace keep things extra snug. Enter into the height of hygge with your very own sauna – whether you've been out slaloming the slopes or idling by the water, a detox will provide that healthy, holiday glow feeling in no time at all. Outside of the home, views of the Northern lights are visible (time and weather permitting), while the charming nearby town of Kittilä has a 19th-century wooden church, authentic restaurants and bars, a twenty-three-minute drive away. 

Lakeside Serenity

This recently renovated log cabin is the ideal place to press pause on everyday life and immerse yourself in nature. Located in the Kuusamo region of Finland, it's part of a small collection of holiday homes and offers perfect peace where you can kick back and relax with your favourite people. 

There's plenty of rural charm inside, with reindeer skins on the walls, wooden beams and comfy furniture where you can get cosy on chilly evenings. Light up the fire and curl up on the sofa with a glass of wine, or serve up some family favourites at the long dining table. Outside you'll find a patio area if the weather is mild enough to dine alfresco, and you can round off your day as the Finns do with a relaxing session in the private sauna. 

It would be easy to spend your whole trip simply relaxing in these tranquil surroundings, but if you want to explore the area then there is plenty to do. Thrill-seekers can enjoy a day on the mountain at Ruka Ski Resort – it's just a three-minute drive away from your front door. In the warmer months, you can hike or cycle, through the rugged landscapes, and if you're good at fishing then you can even catch your dinner at one of the nearby lakes. 

Roaring Log Fire

Hidden behind a classic cabin exterior, this home is an unassuming gem just metres from the waters of Lake Inarijärvi. Timeless Finnish interior design forms a hassle-free and functional environment. Blanched wood walls – laminated on the outside for extra insulation – and stained-oak floors are illuminated by immense floor-to-ceiling windows in the living space, while the heathered grey sofa and sleek black furniture create a dramatic, contemporary contrast. In the daytime, when the weather’s fair, go foraging for cloudberry and mushrooms in the local area, or hire a boat for the afternoon. Spend the evening in your cabin’s lean-to, beside a roaring campfire, or, if you’re lucky, chasing the elusive Aurora Borealis. When it’s spectacularly cold, make use of the sauna before curling up in comfy beds beneath the rafters and drifting off to the gentle patter of snowfall.

Winter Solstice

Library of Books

You’ll have full access to Lapland’s best ski resort at this burnished log cabin. Just around the corner are cross-country ski tracks leading right to Levi, or perhaps a spot of ice fishing will stir your interest if hitting the slopes isn’t your thing. Whatever you end up doing, after a day spent out in nature you’ll no doubt welcome the opportunity to thaw out by the log burner at this Finnish forest cabin. We love the rusticness of this home, and the sauna is a welcome little piece of luxury. Hunker down among blankets and cushions with the kids to plan the next day’s activities and don’t forget to take a peek outside before bed – the northern lights might be shining in the night sky.

Silverfish

Wake up to frosted Nordic spruces and falling snowflakes glittering on the horizon when staying in this semi-detached cabin in Kolari. With wood-panelling inside and the Alpine forests surrounding you, you won't see the wood for the trees sat on the covered terrace with a cup of coffee; a fully immersive forest experience.  Bring along a pair of cross-country skis (there’s a shared drying room for storage) and explore the snow-blanketed trails on your doorstep. As you are in Lapland, try to spot a reindeer or even arrange a husky sleigh experience. The ski lift to the slopes of Äkäslompolo is less than 10 minutes drive away. Come back to your cosy home and warm up in the sauna before preparing dinner by the fireplace and then heading out on the hunt for the Northern Lights. There’s a little wooden fire-pit hut in the garden so you can spend the evening amongst the trees, even after the sun has dipped below the horizon. 

Lapland Lights

This cosy apartment near Ruka is the best of both worlds. Surrounded by lush Finnish forests, at the foot of nearby ski trails, and facing the stunning Lake Talvijärvi, it's got outdoor activities for every day of the week – no matter the season. Wood and stone accents and a neutral colour palette give this home a rustic cabin-like feel that blends perfectly with the great outdoors. A comfortable base, with everything you could need, we love the private terrace and the traditional fireplace. After a day of adventures, soothe your muscles in the electric sauna before settling down for a movie night. If you'd prefer to get out and about, head into Ruka. One of the largest ski resorts in the country, it's got dozens of shops and restaurants to explore. In the winter it's all about skiing but visit in the summer for hiking, kayaking, fishing and much more.


Silver & Snow

A four-minute walk from Sport Resort Yllӓs, you’ll be snuggled up in the perfect apartment for enjoying all that holidays in Kolari have to offer. With wooden walls and partitions and Scandi-inspired furnishings, you'll get the cabin feel but in the luxury of an aparthotel. Take a breather on the balcony and admire nature’s beauty from your private platform. In the evening, sit down to dinner in the chic surroundings, and rejuvenate in the home sauna. Outdoors, adventurous possibilities await. Spend your time at the resort, skiing on the slopes, biking the mountain trails, or simply indulging on sweet treats at the wintry restaurants and cafes. 

Cocoa Bean

There are more bears and reindeer than residents in Salla, so it’s no wonder the Finnish government plan to turn this area into a National Park. Tucked into the wilderness, this cosy cabin is perfect for adventurers. In the winter, head to nearby Salla ski resort to hit the fresh powder, and in the summer explore the hiking and biking routes in the pristine forest that surrounds you. After an activity-filled day, relax in the in-house sauna or curl up in front of the stove in the living room. We love the airy yet rustic feel of this home, with its muted colour palette, light-wood walls, open-plan living space and artworks that pay homage to Lapland’s beautiful vistas. To experience the real thing, head to the shared barbecue hut by the pond, and have an unforgettable outdoor meal.

Three Bears

Wooden walls and floors, outdoor decking, and large sash windows give this semi-detached home an open feel – perfect for groups of friends, who don't mind having a neighbour next door (or who might want to take over both homes). The home is made of thermo log, recently built in 2019, so this is a home that takes the log cabin vibe and modernises it. In the summer, make the most of the long nights on the balcony, watching the twilight through the pine forest that surrounds the plot. Come winter, it's only a ten-minute drive to Ylläs ski resort – when you're done, get home and bag your space in the private sauna. Evenings are best spent in the living area, in front of the burning fire and watching the TV from the grey L-shaped sofa. If that sounds a bit too chilled out, ski and snowmobile trails run by the space, perfect for exploring this corner of Finland.

Lyre's Leap

Surrounded by pine forests, a lake, and ski slopes, this spot in Lapland is about as Finnish as they come. Built in 2018, the modern home channels traditional wooden lodges with its sloping roof and planked exterior. Hikes and skiing are the order of the day, dependent on which season you visit. On your return, a roaring double-height wood-burning will warm you up in the living space. Need some music? The sound bar is great for showing off your playlist skills. Bedrooms draw inspiration from their surroundings with patterned wall paper that depicts forest scenes. However you choose to spend your day, finish it by piling into the backlit sauna to sweat it out in true Scandinavian style.

Underfloor Heating

A stay in Lapland is all about the scenery, and this place in Sallatunturi doesn't disappoint. Surrounded by pristine forest, ponds and lakes, it's in a tourist resort south of Salla. Perfect for skiers (the Salla Ski Resort is just a five-minute drive away) and for hikers (it's set in the newly formed Salla National Park), it's a stunning part of the country, just an hour and a half from Kuusamo Airport. A cabin-style, ground floor apartment in a small resort, it's a modern and super comfortable way to experience life beyond the Arctic Circle. Here, the hassles of day-to-day life melt away in the home's private sauna or in front of the wood-burning stove. Step out onto your terrace each day and breathe in the freshest of air, while breakfast cooks in the fully kitted-out kitchen. With plenty of room for a family, you can relax in the warm, timber home after a day out adventuring. Then head down to the pond where you'll find a traditional shared cooking hut. Out and about you'll find plenty to do – go husky sledging or reindeer riding at the nearby Salla Reindeer Park, visit the local war museum to learn about the Battle of Salla or go white water rafting on the Oulanka River. You may even spot the Northern Lights overhead in the evenings.

Antlers & Lichen

Near the secluded village of Ylläsjärvi, if you’re looking to escape all the noise and bustle back home you're in the right place. Part of a traditional cabin, this ground floor apartment blends wood panelling and simple Scandi furnishings to create an authentic place to experience this beautiful part of the country. Designed with comfort in mind, the living space isn't huge but there's everything you could need – including a large fireplace to gather round for winter evenings in. And outside there's a little deck for sitting out in the summer. Drive to the slopes at Ylläs ski resort nearby, set off on one of the many hiking trails from your door or head to the lake for some swimming. Whatever the season, there's plenty of natural beauty to bathe in here.

Finishing in Style

Known for its subarctic wilderness, Northern lights, and amazing ski resorts, Lapland is the quintessential snowy break. With easy access to the slopes of Levi, the nearby 19th-century town of Kittilä, and a cosy, welcoming home-from-home in the peaks, this home is the perfect base to take in the delights of the Finnish northernmost region. Return from a day zooming down the powdery white terrain and tend to your aching muscles in the private sauna in your bathroom. The living room has warmth and spirit in abundance, with sleek black furnishings, quirky chandelier lighting and plenty of soft blankets, cushions and throws to snuggle up come evening. Eating in? The bright white kitchen, fitted with high spec appliances comes complete with a chic dining area – perfect for hearty meals relaxing in your charming cabin. The local area is full of life, with authentic restaurants and karaoke bars all within the resort, so whether you're in or out, you'll feel well rested. 

Lapping It Up

Escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life by retreating to the tiny village of Inari for a getaway that’s good for the soul. Sitting proudly on the banks of Lapland’s largest lake, Inarijärvi, this magnificent log cabin home is ready to welcome you in fine Finnish style. Here you can indulge in many of the country’s favourite pastimes, be that relaxing in the sauna, fishing on the lake, or foraging for berries and mushrooms in the surrounding area. Start your day with a wild swim before cosying up next to the fireplace with a coffee in hand. As you sit under the vaulted ceiling in the sitting room, look out of the large picture windows that perfectly frame the stunning scenery beyond. Adults and children alike will enjoy playing on the sandy beach in the summer, while the snowshoes and sleds are a welcome addition during the winter months. For a truly special evening, dine al fresco under the northern lights by gathering around the dining table on the decking, before heading to the fire pit to toast marshmallows. Absolute bliss. 

Wild Wonder

Whether you're gliding down the powdery white slopes or observing the Northern Lights in Rovaniemi, this cosy home is the place to be. With one of Lapland's finest ski-resorts outside, you'll have plenty to do when you're not skiing – check out the abundance of glorious restaurants and quirky bars. In the morning, you can be on the snowy peaks within minutes with easy access to Levi's ski slopes, and discover picturesque views of Finland's northernmost region. Back home, unwind in your private sauna, whip up a hearty meal in the pristine, high spec kitchen, and sink into the soft sofa in a warm and stylish living room. With rosy-pink tones, natural wooden furnishings and glass ornaments, you'll find it easy to relax after a thrilling day enjoying the downhill delights. 

Victory Lap

A traditional rural cabin with a modern twist, this home has everything you could need for a stay in this beautiful area. A two-storey apartment, its natural wood tones, and white and grey colour scheme make for a classic Nordic vibe, with neat, modern furnishings and woodland views. The heart of the home, the large living area is double height, with huge windows. Sectioned off from the kitchen by a large dining table for sociable evenings in, the sofas all point towards the glow of a rustic fireplace. It's a short drive to the local ski slopes in winter, or head to the lake with a swimming beach only a few kilometres away. With a sauna to soothe any aches and pains picked up skiing or hiking, this is the perfect place to get away from it all in nature's perfect playground.

Reindeer Moss

This cosy Lapland apartment offers unparalleled access to the fresh powder at Levi, one of Finland’s most popular ski resorts. Have a steaming cup of coffee on your balcony, and when you’re ready to hit the slopes yourself they’re a short walk away. After a day of adventures, soothe your muscles in the in-house sauna, before whipping up a comforting meal in the sleek kitchen. In the evening, snuggle up with your family on the couch in front of the fire for a movie night. Or head back out to the balcony with a glass of wine, and take in views of the lush forests for which the land of the midnight sun is famous, and keep a look out for the northern lights.

This stylish lodge is a winter wonderland. It’s in an authentic village in the Western part of Finnish Lapland, amidst the untamed beauty of the Pöntsövaara fell. Stunning views of the snowy landscape stretch as far as the eye can see here – you won’t have any neighbours to interrupt the vista. You’ll be in the perfect position to spot the aurora borealis from the outdoor Jacuzzi and will have a telescope for stargazing. There’s also a sauna and a huge fireplace to keep you cosy. Your host provides snowshoes and toboggans for exploring outside, and you’ll be just a fifteen-minute drive from a ski resort. 

A Winter’s Whimsy

Whether it’s covered in snow or basking in sunshine, this cosy cabin sat back from the stillness of Bothnian Bay, amid a dense calming forest, is sure to delight. With its scenic lakeside position in the secluded region of North Ostrobothnia, it’s the perfect place to escape it all. With a large decked terrace, pristine lawn, and steps to the beach, you’ll have plenty of space to enjoy the tranquil beauty of the area. You'll even have your own rowing boat. After a day of exploring, choose to warm up in the sauna and steam room adjacent to your cabin. The home's interior makes the most of the spectacular location, with vast picture windows looking out to the Finnish landscape beyond. Striking oak-panelled walls and polished pinewood flooring provides that quintessential cabin style. The open-plan kitchen, dining area, and living room are bathed in natural light, creating a bright and sociable living space, ideal for preparing hearty soups, playing games, and sitting with a good book by the warm glow of the stone-hearth fireplace. Underfloor heating will keep you extra toasty in the winter months, while sipping your morning coffee on the terrace when summertime arrives will be utterly glorious.
