Ohola Cabin: Lakefront retreat in reindeer village

A quirky hidden gem, nestled in a tiny reindeer herding village in Lapland far away from tourist herds. Brimming with books, retro cabin vibes and cosy corners for reading and gazing out at the lake on both floors, this is the perfect place to retreat into or create a world of your own. Take a wander down the road to the local reindeer farm or village bar for kicks or inspiration. An open view to the north for general skygazing (and northern lights, if you're lucky) awaits out the backdoor.
