This beautiful barn-like home is perched on the edge of the forest, facing the scenic Ilmajärvi Lake. Relax on your own private terrace while gazing out at the water, and brave yourself to go for a dip. Walk out along your own wooden pier and dangle your legs into the water. Let the kids frolic on the swings and in the sandbox in the garden, before heading off for a family trek through the woods. In the cooler months, sweat it out in the sauna, or simply sit by the rustic fireplace in the living room to warm up. The wooden interior makes for a traditional country setting, with elegant furnishings. Cook up a meal in the modern, white kitchen, before retiring to the cosy and warm bedrooms.

Local guide
About Finland
Land of a thousand lakes, Finland is all about embracing the outdoors. In the south, it feels more like a series of islands as huge swathes of lake cut through the land. The way of life here is fish caught by your own hand, and smoked on the cabin terrace. Pine trees tower above and woodland walks and cycling is the way to immerse in nature. Summer brings endless daytime...
