Explore hideout
Villa Lichen takes its name from the lichen that grows on its roof, gently binding the villa to the surrounding forest. This architectural gem blends seamlessly into the silver-tinted lichen woods, so that from the very moment you arrive, you feel part of something truly special.
Set deep within an expansive forest, far from neighbors, the villa offers a private lakeshore and its own pier – a perfect hideaway for stillness, relaxation, and quiet moments with nature. Floor-to-ceiling windows bring the beauty and atmosphere of Rokua’s unique landscapes directly into the living space.
Nestled on the crystal-clear shores of Lake Vaulujärvi, Villa Villa Lichen provides complete privacy. The pure water of the lake invites you to take a refreshing swim in summer and offers unforgettable experiences throughout the year. You can fish with a rod or fly in the summer or try ice…

The water
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.

Fishing on site
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.
Fishing license: 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.
