Villa wirtanen

Buiten

Holiday cabin in the beautiful lake scenery of Lapland, located on the shores of Lake Olangonjärvi, part of the larger Lake Simojärvi. This versatile two-story cabin offers excellent facilities for both summer and winter holidays. From the laavu, you can admire the northern lights or the midnight sun by the campfire right by the lake. The surroundings of the cabin include cloudberry marshes and the wilderness of Lapland. The cabin, built in 1991, has a double bed and a pull-out bed for 1-2 people (both 160 cm wide) upstairs. There is also an alternative sleeping option for children, a pull-out daybed with a 15 cm mattress (bed length 188 cm). Additionally, the downstairs area has a pull-out futon sofa bed for 1-2 people (140 cm wide). The heart of the well-equipped combined kitchen/living room is a heat-storing soapstone fireplace. Modern design air-source heat pumps (upstairs and downstairs) efficiently heat the house and provide cooling in the summer. Downstairs, there is also a bathroom with a toilet and an electric sauna. A traditional wood-heated lakeside sauna is located right by the lake. You can swim directly in the lake from the pier. In front of the sauna, there is a shallow, hard natural sandy beach that deepens and becomes soft and muddy after the pier. The lakeside sauna can be used year-round, but please ask the owner for permission if you wish to heat it in winter. The shallow Lake Olangonjärvi is ideal for paddling. A two-person canoe and a one-person kayak are available. For fishing, there is a boat. The one-kilometer-long Lake Olangonjärvi connects to the 33-kilometer-long and 90-square-kilometer-wide Lake Simojärvi, renowned for its fishing opportunities. There are also numerous rapids nearby suitable for fly fishing. Snowshoes (2 pairs) are freely available at the cabin. Pets are allowed for an additional fee (the fee applies per booking period and is applicable for reservations made on or after 1.7.27).
