A log cabin, hot tub, wood-fired sauna – and maybe a reindeer in the yard. Welcome to Villa Sieripirtti!

Villa Sieripirtti’s charming log cabin and separate sauna cottage are peacefully located by the Kemijoki River, just a 20-minute drive from Santa Claus Village. Here, the tranquility of Lapland’s nature meets modern comfort – the perfect setting to relax and unwind.

The accommodation sleeps up to 14 guests. The main cabin features four bedrooms (each with a double bed and a loft bed), a spacious living and dining area, and two bathrooms with showers. In the separate sauna cottage, you’ll find a traditional wood-fired sauna, three showers, a small kitchen, and a sofa bed for two.

Both cottages are equipped with all the comforts you need: fully equipped kitchens, a fireplace, Wi-Fi, bed linens, towels, bathrobes, slippers, and cleaning supplies – all included.

Outside, you can relax on the large terrace, soak in the warm outdoor hot tub, or enjoy a campfire under the open sky. A cozy grill hut is also available for your use. And for a truly Finnish experience, a traditional warm water tub can be booked for an additional fee – ideal for memorable evenings under the northern skies.

As an extra service, guests can enjoy delicious meals prepared by a private chef. Choose from carefully curated menus and let someone else take care of the cooking – for the whole holiday, if you like.

All this is set by a scenic river, surrounded by peaceful Lapland nature – where you just might spot a reindeer or two. Santa Claus Village is only a short drive away, but the stress of everyday life stays far behind.

The wood-fired sauna may take a little patience, but it more than makes up for it in relaxation. No need to bring woolen socks – we’ve got those ready for you too.
