Snowy landscapes and the shimmering aurora: the beauty of a winter log cabin break

Maybe it’s the beauty of a wild, frozen landscape. Trees laden with snow, icy lakes and rivers — like something straight from a fairy tale.

Perhaps it’s the way the cold hits your cheeks on thrilling outdoor adventures. Think husky sledding, snowmobiling, ice fishing and cross-country skiing.

Or maybe it’s the welcoming warmth of your log cabin, a place to savour drinks by the crackling fire as snow swirls softly outside.

Set in the heart of the wilderness, our hand-picked log cabins blend rustic charm with modern comfort. And they provide the ideal base for aurora hunting.

Whether you prefer a traditional wooden cabin or a contemporary Scandi-style refuge, you’ll find a place designed for peace, relaxation and an unforgettable winter escape.

Log cabin holidays: FAQs

Can’t see an answer to your question here? Our team of travel experts is always happy to help.

When is the best time to go on a northern lights cabin holiday?

You have the best chance of seeing the northern lights between September and early April, when Arctic nights are long and dark.

If you have your heart set on a log cabin break in the snow, it’s best to book your trip from December to March, when we can guarantee a good covering of snow.

What can I do on a log cabin holiday in the snow?

If you’re planning a snowy log cabin holiday, you can take your pick from a host of exciting winter activities. These include husky sledding, snowmobiling, reindeer sleigh rides, snowshoe excursions, ice fishing, ice climbing and even visits to see Santa and his elves.

How likely am I to see the northern lights on an aurora cabin trip?

While we can’t guarantee you’ll see the northern lights on your trip, our log cabin holidays take you to some of the best aurora locations on Earth — places where your chances of seeing the lights are incredibly high.

Nestled out in the wilderness, far from city lights, your cabin is the perfect base to watch the aurora dance across the dark night sky. And if the northern lights aren’t shining directly overhead? You can seek them out on a thrilling nighttime excursion with your expert aurora guide.
