Take a deep breath and relax.

Welcome to Saariniemi Estate -a historic country estate, founded in 1862 and nestled by the beautiful Lake Vanttausjärvi, just 55km (under an hour) from Rovaniemi in Finnish Lapland. 

Let the purity of Arctic nature restore you. Enjoy fresh, local food and the peaceful rhythm of rural life. 

Here, time slows down - and you can simply be. 

At Saariniemi, you can go snowshoeing, try ice fishing - from rod to net under ice, enjoy lakeside sauna, join traditional workshops, or dine in our heritage log house - and spend peaceful moments with our sheep. All in privacy and surrounded by nature.
