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 fishing during the winter months.
Guests are pampered with an authentic Finnish wood-heated sauna, a wood-fired hot tub and a covered terrace where you can grill and enjoy long, atmospheric evenings surrounded by nature. Down by the shore, your private campfire site awaits – a place where time seems to stand still as the flames dance in harmony with the forest’s silence. Even the youngest guests will find joy here: the private forest is home to a trampoline and a rope course, adding playfulness and laughter to the holiday from spring to autumn.

Location
Private and secluded, the villa is nestled deep in nature far away from neighbors, a peaceful retreat where you can truly unwind.
The nearest airports is Oulu (90 km) just an hour’s drive away. We recommend renting a car from the airport if you wish to explore the surrounding area more freely. There is also a railway station in Vaalan town center, with connections to destinations such as Helsinki-Vantaa Airport. The station is approximately a 20-minute drive from the cabin. If you don`t have rental car please ask for transportation.
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.

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.
Villa Lichen is a hideout of nature, beauty and experiences. Here, authenticity, peace, and elegance come together in a way that leaves a lasting imprint on your heart.
