Uitonniemi

Top choice in Lapland


On Kemijärvi's lakeshore, with its own pier, this charming log cabin built in 2009 using traditional Finnish techniques has six rooms with exposed timber walls, kitchenettes and lake views. It has a cosy guest lounge and sauna, as well as a guest-only restaurant serving Lappish specialities. Ask about lake cruises crossing the Arctic Circle in summer.
