Saija Lodge

Tradition and comfort - far from the hectic bustle of life

Welcome to Saija!

Accommodation, restaurant and activities all year round

Saija Lodge is situated in the northeast of Finland, south of the Arctic Circle, in the middle of the beautiful and original Finnish nature. The lodge is built directly by the shore of the idyllic Lake Jokijärvi and is surrounded by mostly state-owned commercial timberland. A curvy country road leads to our lodge in the middle of spruce and pine forest and our huskies greet you before you enter the main building and the reception of the rustic Saija Lodge. Our manor is a wooden-built hotel, which offers accommodation, restaurant services and individual or guided activities upon pre-order all year round.

The Land of National Park - a paradise for individual hikers 

Saija is situated in the Land of National Parks. You can reach 4 unique Finnish National Parks within a 1 - 1.5 hour drive. The National Parks are hiking paradises you can easily explore by your own. Read more

Life with Huskies

Saija’s owner Asko has many years’ experience of rearing huskies. Currently, his pack numbers around 150 dogs. The dogs are very important to Asko and, even with all the help he has at the farm, he spends much of his time tending to them, feeding them and training them.
