We rented a PRIVATE ISLAND in Finland! (for under $200/night!)

We lugged our gear on a sled across part of the frozen Lake Ivalo and for three days we stayed on a private island in an off grid cabin. And when we say off grid, we truly mean it! In the winter, there is zero electricity, lights, or running water. But what you lack in luxury, you gain in solitude, silence, coziness, and simplicity.

🏠BOOK this cabin: https://www.loueliving.com/contact-8 (the owner Köpi says the best way to book is to fill out the contact form. This avoids any Airbnb fees!). You can see availability for the cabin here: https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/28190724
