Introducing the Mökki Tikka!

The Mökki is located on a small private headland on Lake Koirajärvi, on a property of 12,000 m2 in the middle of a beautiful mixed forest.

Lake Koirajärvi is a medium-sized lake (0.5 km2) embedded in the lake landscape around the larger Lake Simojärvi. On the property of Mökki Tikka, you can enjoy your stay in the main house and a sauna hut near the beach. A covered summer kitchen invites you to summer barbecues.

Access to the house

Getting to the Mökki Tikka

Yes, the roads get smaller and narrower and narrower... Finally, you drive along this gravel road and at the end you see the house in a clearing.

In winter, all rental cars are equipped with spikes and in summer you drive carefully because a reindeer could be standing on the road behind every corner.

The name Tikka

means woodpecker in Finnish, and we saw a lot of them there, so it seemed a logical choice when we were naming our house.

We hope you can spot many birds here.

The main house

The log cabin is situated on a small hill in a clearing and offers peace and privacy. The house has a cosy kitchen-diner with a view of the lake. The dining table seats up to 12 people (with additional plates). The living room is adjacent to this and has two large three-seater sofas. The bedroom is also on the ground floor. There is a separate toilet and a sauna with a wet room equipped with a shower, washing machine and washbasin. Upstairs, a spacious open gallery offers beds for up to six people and a large balcony with a view of the lake. The property is heated by a large wood-burning stove, electric underfloor heating, electric radiators and air conditioning. All windows have triple glazing and mosquito nets. On the ground floor, there is a large covered veranda with a lounge and a large wooden deck in front of it.

The sauna hut

The sauna hut is located on the shore of the lake. The sauna is heated with wood stored by the door. The adjoining hut invites you to rest and enjoy. The room is heated by a fireplace and underfloor heating. A pull-out double bed and comfortable armchairs are available.

The summer kitchen and the

warehouse

Cosy get-togethers in the summer kitchen. There are two barbecues and a dining table for 6 people.

In the warehouse, there are lots of tools and useful things to be found.

The room on the far left is also a summer room. A cosy, but unheated room with a double bed.

The jetty / fishing

The raft can be detached from the dock and navigated with the outboard motor.

Fishing equipment can be rented.

Lake Koirajärvi and the neighbouring, larger Lake Simojärvi are full of fish! You are bound to have a sense of achievement here! You can find more about fishing here.

Hot tub

The hot tub is heated 365 days a year. Since someone is not always on site, it needs some attention upon arrival.

Enjoy a peaceful moment in it, away from prying eyes, with a view of the picturesque lake and forest.

Sauna

A Finn will tell you that there is no single right way to take a sauna. Your way is the right way. Whether it's 60 or 100 degrees, you decide what makes you feel comfortable!

Shower first, then cool down. In the shower or in the lake. Do it however you like.

There is an electric sauna in the house. With an adjoining shower, of course.

The sauna in the sauna house is heated with wood. The water tank on the stove must always be filled with water. This is connected to the shower after using the sauna so that you can take a warm shower.

Wildlife watching

In Lapland, you can expect to find an intact and diverse animal world – with a little luck, you will encounter reindeer, elk, arctic foxes, hares, wolverines and a variety of rare birds such as owls, whooper swans and white-tailed eagles in their natural environment.
