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.
