An Intimate Lakeside Lodge in Finnish Lapland
Lyra was designed to capture the immense beauty of Finnish Lapland and is an ideal location for witnessing both the Aurora Borealis in winter and the endless light of the Midnight Sun in summer. The 163-square-meter interior is a masterclass in minimalism, with panoramic lake views framed by floor-to-ceiling windows. A central fireplace provides a cozy heart to the open-plan living space.
Lyra’s prime lakefront position and private terrace offer an unparalleled connection to the Arctic elements. Guests have direct access to the frozen lake in winter for activities or the placid water in summer.
Layout
This vacation home for rent in Finnish Lapland sleeps up to six guests in three bedrooms (two kings and one bunk), with two bathrooms. An open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area encourages shared moments, and there is also a private sauna.
Experiences
The stay is entirely bespoke, with a dedicated host arranging all details. Private chefs craft exquisite meals from local ingredients. Guided adventures are tailored to the season and guest preferences, from dog-sledding and ice-fishing excursions to canoeing trips under the Midnight Sun.
