The wooden hut was simple but charming, offering a peaceful and nature-filled experience. Though the bathroom was shared, it was clean and well-maintained. A great choice for those who enjoy a rustic, back-to-basics stay with a touch of adventure.

If you want to be away from the rest of the human race in Arctic Finland in winter then this is the place to be! A log cabin by a frozen lake with the Northern Lights above you - it was a dream of a location.
