These two semi-detached cabins are conveniently located very near to all local amenities and the ski slopes in the popular Saariselkä resort. The cabins are located in the end of a dead end road, so there are no passing traffic, which makes these cabins ideal particularly for families with young children. 

All cabins have modern Scandinavian decor and furniture, as well as a good standard of amenities. An open plan kitchen, dining area and lounge with a wood burning fireplace create a homely atmosphere and two twin/double bedrooms and a third bedroom with bunk beds for two offer comfortable sleeping arrangements.
