01 / OUR STORY
We went north.
A part of us
stayed.
Our favourite address? Where the rush ends.There were five of us. A young married couple, two children, a little dog, and a curiosity about a place where the forests never end.
We fell in love with Finland. With Lapland’s nature, its silence, and the feeling that a day does not need to be full of plans to be beautiful.
On the shores of Lake Simojärvi, we found a place that moves at a different pace from the city. A place where we wanted to be together. So we decided to make a little corner of this world our own.
A place this beautiful
is too special to keep to ourselves.
That is how Squirrel on the Lake began. Our second home, with a welcome for you too. With children, as a couple, or with friends. We hope you find your own reason to return.
From our family to yours.02 / YOUR HOME BY THE LAKE

03 / ONE PLACE, A THOUSAND MOODS
Follow nature.
Not the calendar.
Every season has its own rhythm by the lake.
Which one will be yours?
Kesä LONG DAYS. NO HURRY.
Let’s stay outside
a little longer.
Coffee on the terrace. A walk in the forest. Fishing, and an evening reluctant to let go of the light. Summer days by the lake find their own way.
