Finland is the Land of the Midnight Sun, and many saunas. Are you browsing and trying to decide where you will be staying on your holidays? Privately-owned vacation rentals are a popular alternative to holiday lodging in a hotel. Will you be travelling solo, with a companion or are you planning to get together with a group of friends? There are suitable vacation rentals with the amenities and conveniences of home. With its many inlets, islands, lakes and forests,
Finland offers an unspoiled land for nature lovers. On a winter’s night, you may see the Northern Lights dance their magic colours across the sky when you visit the Finnish Lapland. A
reindeer sleigh ride or a husky-dog tour is possible here. Or, rent a snowmobile for that burst of speed and for a slower pace, strap on a pair of snowshoes. Lakeland is cottage country. Stay in privately- vacation rental accommodations. Owner Direct Vacation Rentals offers cottages and cabins and other styles of holiday home accommodation.
