This is not just a place to stay, but a carefully prepared wilderness base in remote Lapland.

The cabin is offered as a hosted wilderness stay. I live in the neighbouring cabin and am normally nearby during your stay. I will show you how the cabin and sauna work, explain how water and firewood are handled, and make sure you know how to live comfortably and safely in this off-grid environment.

You will have your own privacy and independence, while local help and knowledge are available when needed.

What is included in the accommodation

The nightly price includes:

– Cabin and sauna heated and ready for your arrival

– Firewood prepared for use

– Water supply arranged and explained

– Introduction to the cabin, sauna and practicalities of off-grid living

– Local information about the surrounding area, routes, weather and conditions

– Local advice and tips for independent activities such as snowshoeing, ice fishing and aurora viewing

– Practical safety information for the surroundings

The aim is simple: you can enjoy the wilderness independently without having to figure out the practicalities of an off-grid cabin on your own.

Independent activities and optional services

The surrounding wilderness is yours to explore independently. I can provide local information and practical advice to help you plan your own activities.

Separate guided activities, meals and other services are also available on request and are agreed and booked separately from the accommodation.

Depending on the season, optional add-ons may include:

Guided Activities & Transport

– Guided snowshoeing, ice fishing and northern lights trips in winter

– Snowmobile transport when conditions allow

– Guided hiking, wilderness trekking and midnight sun outings in summer

Local Meals

– Trail lunches and packed snacks for self-guided or guided day trips

– Traditional breakfasts to start your day in the wilderness

– Local-style dinners featuring ingredients such as reindeer and salmon, or hearty wilderness burgers

These services are optional and are not included in the accommodation price.

Important to know

This is a remote, off-grid wilderness location without electricity or running water.

The experience is based on simplicity, nature and real Arctic conditions. You will need to be comfortable with basic off-grid living and managing the practicalities of cabin life.

It is best suited for guests who appreciate quiet, independence and authenticity rather than hotel-style comfort.

The idea is not to provide a hotel in the wilderness, but to give you a genuine base from which to experience Lapland on your own terms.
