Embrace the warmth of a traditional Lappish log cabin in the heart of Saariselkä. Snuggle by the fire after days filled with snowy adventures, husky sleigh rides, and snowmobiling. Choose from three cosy cabin sizes in two charming buildings, Hirvas and Teerenpesa, each crafted in the traditional Lappish round-log style.
Both the Hirvas and Teerenpesa buildings are in the centre of Saariselkä and around a 5 minute walk to Santa's Holiday Club, which is where you will have both breakfast and buffet dinner. The Festive Dinner will be held in Santa’s Hotel Tunturi, which is another short walk from the cabins, on the last evening of your holiday.
