This cabin offers a peaceful riverside location, a spacious yard, and a private sauna — the perfect escape from everyday life without unnecessary frills. A cozy and practical 60 m² cabin located about 77 km east of Oulu, by the Utosjoki River in Sanginkylä village. The center of Utajärvi municipality is about 18 km away. The cabin features a living room, open-plan kitchen, and one bedroom with two 80 cm wide beds, plus a sofa bed (140 cm) in the living room. The bathroom has an electric sauna, and there is also a separate WC. Built in 2000 and renovated in 2016, the cabin includes a covered terrace that provides shelter from the rain and a large yard with plenty of space to relax and enjoy outdoor activities. The cabin is situated on the banks of the Utosjoki River, with a pier about 30 meters from the terrace. Access to the pier is via a steep riverbank slope, so caution is required when descending. The river bottom is soft sand and deepens quickly, so children should be carefully supervised. Guests have access to a rowing boat (please remember to pull it ashore after use) and an outdoor storage. Come and enjoy the riverside scenery and cabin life — welcome! Please bring your own charcoal if you wish to use the kettle grill. Exercise caution on the access road during the spring thaw. Ask the owner about renting a hot tub.
