SUVILEHTO

Holiday home details

Charming, fully renovated log cabin on the shores of Lake Mellajärvi in Ylitornio.

Welcome to a relaxing holiday in the beautiful and peaceful surroundings of Lake Mellajärvi! This modern log cabin was originally built in 1978 and fully renovated in 2025, offering a comfortable setting for a nature-oriented holiday all year round.

The cabin comfortably accommodates up to 5 guests. The downstairs bedroom with sliding door has a 120 cm wide bed, the loft has two 80 cm wide spring mattresses, and the living room includes a 140 cm wide sofa bed.

The cabin has a drainage system but no running water. The owner provides approximately 15 liters of drinking water for guests' use. There is an outdoor toilet on the property, and an indoor toilet with a shower is available in a separate building about 80 meters from the cabin, renovated in 2025. The toilet and shower are exclusively for Suvilehto guests and are located in the woodworking shed with its own entrance. Woodworking shed is mainly used for storage. Additional drinking and utility water can be collected from the toilet facility.

At the lakeshore, there is a beautiful terrace, where you can enjoy lake views, as well as a cozy lakeside sauna with a hot tub available for rent from the owner. The sauna's shower is supplied with water pumped from the lake, which is heated via a copper coil in the sauna cauldron, requiring a fire for hot water. The sauna shower is available from May 15 to September 30. In winter, only the shower in the woodworking shed is available.

The rental includes a rowing boat, allowing easy access to the lake for fishing or excursions. Lake Mellajärvi is known for its abundance of fish, and fishing rods are available for children.

Swimming is possible from the shore, but due to a large number of mussels in the lake, swimming shoes are recommended. The shore has a gently sloping, partially sandy bottom with some stones, making it unsuitable for very young children.

The cabin is located near a farm, where you may see cows grazing in the summer and winter, though they are at a suitable distance to ensure a peaceful holiday. The owner's home, 160 meters from the cabin, features the Urho Kangas burl studio, which guests are welcome to visit.
