Property information

Kuukkeli Log Houses Villa Aurora gottage is also called Pupula( = Bunny´s nest) and its built from old pine wood logs but comfortably furnished and modernly equipped. Destination is located in the heart of the nature, on the shore of a small natural pond. In addition of two bedrooms, the cottage has an open kitchen and dining area, living room with fireplace, sauna and bathroom.. Gottage's location close to the Lappish nature feels like you are in peaceful hideaway and far from everyday life. There is also a separate small building in the yard, with a traditionally wood-heated sauna. This sauna is available for use only in summer time. But traditionally heated sauna and a dip in the cool water of natural pond are quite an unique experience in any Saariselkä destinations. By the bond is also a large deck with an outdoor furniture and by the gottage is another outdoor terrace with electric barbeque grill. The distance to the Saariselkä center is approx. 2.5 km. As the cottage is not along of public transport routes, in the winter you can heat your car with the help of an external electric plug. Hiking trails to UKK National Park and in winter time the ski tracks start almost from the cottage's door.

Neighbourhood information

Saariselkä is located 250 km north of the Arctic Circle and it is one of oldest tourist centers in Finland. Since 1970´s throught the years it has also grown for little fell village. In Saariselkä there is plenty to do, see and experience at all seasons, all year round. The snowy winter season is from November to early May. The sun sets in the darkness of November's Polar Night, but when the sun rises in spring, you can enjoy Nightless Night most of the summer. Idyllic, 2-bedroom cottage built of old lappish pine tree logs. Located in Saariselkä's Laanila, only approx. 2.5 km from village center. A unique location, right by of small natural pond.

Saariselkä Ski & Sport Resort's 20 slalom ski slopes and 6 lifts offer variety for moving around on skis, and it's always worth trying Finland's longest sledding hill which is approx. 1200 m long. The fell scenery is breathtakingly charming in all seasons, and while moving in the ground, you can also listen to ... the silence of true Lapland's nature.
