Explore hideout
This stunning log villa is a dream getaway for the quality-conscious nature lover. Nestled on the shores of a crystal-clear sandy-bottomed lake and surrounded by peaceful lichen-covered pine forest, it offers a rare sense of serenity and presence.

Did you know that the essential oils released by pine trees have been scientifically shown to boost mood, strengthen immunity and promote restorative sleep? At Hilikkula, you can feel it for yourself – breathe in the forest air, listen to birdsong and let the whisper of the pines calm your mind.

Nature surrounds you in every season, offering unforgettable moments year-round: hike, ski or practice forest yoga. And if you’re up for a refreshing dip, the exceptionally clear waters of Lake Saarijärvi invite you in – even divers love it for its pristine visibility.

Hilikkula is made for memorable experiences and meaningful time together. Host an unforgettable celebration, a relaxed gathering with friends, a team retreat or a nature-inspired workshop. Come enjoy the luxury of nature, feel good and make memories that stay with you.

This cabin includes Luxury Hideouts’ Host & Prime services, designed to make your stay even smoother, more relaxing and truly exceptional. We don’t just offer accommodation – we offer care and experiences from the very beginning.

Your Fishing Experience

Lake Oulujärvi is ideal for both guided fishing excursions and independent fishing, whether from the shore or a rowing boat. In local tradition, trolling is especially popular, and on a good day, it’s not uncommon to encounter pike measuring over one meter in length. Spinning (cast fishing) is also a great option for exploring the lake’s diverse waters. If needed, you can inquire about equipment rental - so there’s no need to bring your own gear unless you prefer to.

Required Licenses

  • Fishing permit. The price depends on the duration. For example, a fishing permit for Lake Oulujärvi for one week costs 30 €/person, and we can assist you with purchasing the permit.

Lake Oulujärvi offers a unique and diverse water experience in the heart of Finnish nature. Its vast open waters, peaceful surroundings and islands make it an exceptional destination for both relaxation and fishing. Here, you can truly enjoy a sense of freedom, as the lake is so vast that you will probably see only a few boats - if any - throughout the day. Lake Oulujärvi is well known for its abundant fish stocks and many of our guests have told our guide that they haven’t caught as much fish in years as they did during a single day of trolling with him. We highly recommend including at least one day with a local fishing guide during your stay. A guide can provide valuable insights and tips tailored to your preferences, helping you make the most of your independent fishing days. Once we know what kind of fishing you enjoy the most, we can ensure you have the best possible experience on the water. Tell us your wishes, and we will help you create your perfect lake experience.
