Riekonpesä
Peace, simplicity, and the kind of comfort that makes you slow down
A place to breathe
Riekonpesä is set in a peaceful location in Ylläsjärvi, beside Palovaara between the village and the ski slopes. The cabin has a sauna and fireplace and sleeps up to 8. Cross-country trails are about 200 m away and the downhill slopes about 2 km.
The log-built cabin keeps the warmth in and the atmosphere just right. The interior is simple, cozy, and inviting—easy to settle into from the moment you arrive. A private sauna, a fireplace, and well-designed spaces make everyday living here effortlessly comfortable.
Whether you come for skiing, hiking, remote work in the heart of Lapland, or to disconnect from everyday life, Riekonpesä offers exactly the kind of reset you’re looking for.
