Where can I go to stay in a log cabin?

On our family experiences, we have a variety of cabins and cottages available from traditional log cabin style to more modern winter cottages.

For those who want a cosy cottage in the woods, Jeris, in North West Finland remains our most popular destination. Here families can choose from a range of cottages that can sleep from two to seven people, all located in the snow-topped forest. As well as bathroom and bedroom facilities, they all have a kitchenette and lounge area and the added bonus of their own private saunas and log burners. In most cottages, there is a loft/mezzanine sleeping area which older kids tend to love (parents do need to be aware however that these are accessed by steep steps and should not be used for small children).

If your family wants a more modern cottage option then you might want to take a look at our Brandon Lodge experiences in Swedish Lapland. Here you can enjoy a simple Scandinavian style base complete with kitchen and en-suite shower rooms. These cabins also have the added benefit of a porch or terrace from which you can look out across the frozen sea.

Things you need to know

Whilst the benefit of the cabins is that you can enjoy a sense of escapism with your family, this does, of course, mean that you are set apart from the main amenities of your chosen accommodation and the restaurants where your meals are served.

Cabins are often only a short walk away, however, and with your cold weather clothing, you will stay warm as you make your way to the main building (where you will enjoy your meals).

If you don’t fancy the idea of having to put on your snow gear and snow boots each time, then a hotel room might be a better option for your family (some hotels do offer family rooms and suites – ask our Travel Experts for details).

At Jeris, the cabins are all situated around 15 to 25 minutes from the main hotel so you will have to walk this route for the meals – however, it is a lovely scenic walk through the snow and the little ones can be pulled along on a sledge, so it’s not necessarily a hardship!

We highly recommend taking supplies of your favourite hot drinks with you in order to make use of the kitchenette facilities – it just gives you that added flexibility to create your own drinks and snacks as required.
