Aurora Cottage Otsola

Saariniemi Estate - Rovaniemi - Lake Vanttausjärvi

Your peaceful hideaway under the Northern Lights

Did you know that the best time to see the Aurora Borealis in Rovaniemi is from mid-August to early April, with up to 150 visible nights per year? This natural phenomenon depends on space weather and cloud cover – but when it appears, the moment is unforgettable.

Aurora Cottage Otsola is ideally located for Northern Lights spotting – on the northern shore of our private Saariniemi peninsula, right by the peaceful Lake Vanttausjärvi. The open lake view allows you to watch the sky directly from the comfort of the heated wooden cottage.

The main cottage accommodates two guests and includes:

– a cosy fireplace

– a small kitchenette

– fridge and microwave

– electricity and heating

– drinking water provided separately

– sauna water taken from the lake

– an outdoor composting toilet

In addition, there is a traditional lakeside sauna cabin for two guests and a log-built lean-to with a campfire site.

A peaceful Arctic experience for nature lovers and sky watchers – with basic modern comforts.
