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.
