Metsä Kolo is a small private and ecological resort in Southern Lapland, located only one and a half hours from Rovaniemi. The resort consists of only 3 typical Finnish log cabins and the main house at a lake in the middle of a private wilderness. Our core values are easy-going lifestyle, sustainability and locality.
Enjoy the spirit of Finnish forest, the peace of Lapland and the bounty of pure nature. The rush of everyday life is left behind by water and fire as well as by wrapping oneself up in flax linen in the luxury bed.
Finally I found my way to the peace of nature, to a lake and my own forest. Here I can breathe, earthen and be in my flow.
I am happy to share this unique place with my dear guests. In Metsä Kolo you can be at your own, find yourself, chat, chill, recharge your batteries (physical and/or mental) and enjoy with all your senses all day long.
You´re welcome as you are!
Metsä Kolo is an exciting combination of `Nature-connection´, soulhappiness and ability to learn new things. We favour natural materials, local craftsmanship, quality and long life cycle, reuse, recycling and local, wild food.
Paljasjalkaisena stadilaisena ja maailmanmatkaajana elämä veden äärellä, paljonpuhuttavat vuodenajat, hiljentyminen sekä luonnon puhdas ravinto kasvattavat minua ihmisenä päivittäin. Toimin täydestä sydämestä ja olen riemuissani – löysin unelma hommani erakkona metsästä!
Come to Metsä Kolo and enjoy a leisurely life, relax or pursue your hobbies, alone or together.
Welcome!

Our location on map
We want to pamper our guests with luxurious nighttime sleep, so we have chosen Hilja beds by the Finnish family business MATRI. The beds have been handmade in their own factory using 100% natural materials. MATRI also has material safety at heart, which is why all of their products use only environmentally friendly, certified materials produced in Europe. This ensures an exceptionally clean, breathable and safe sleeping environment.
We want to pamper our guests with soothing sleep. The futon mattress gives the body proper support so that the muscles do not have to tense while sleeping. The perfectly breathable mattress is made only of pure natural materials. With horsehair, a very durable and airy layer can be created in the futon, which brings a little surface softness together with the layers of organic cotton and wool. The futons are handmade in Pori by the same family business where the ecological blankets and pillows we have chosen also come from.
We want to pamper our guests with natural Finnish products. Duvets and pillows of Finnsheep wool are an ecological choice, as they biodegrade in soil. Wool is inherently fireproof so it does not require the addition of fire protection chemicals and is also otherwise a chemical-free product. The bedding does not make you sweat even in hot weather as it efficiently evaporates the moisture it absorbs and stays comfortably warm in the cold and damp. Our impressive bedding is handmade in Finland by the company called Porin Villa ja Peite, using surplus raw materials produced nearby.
We want to pamper our guests with soft linen sheets. Jesus linen sheets are made to last, experience and see a lot, even for generations. The material of linen is beautiful, durable and environmentally friendly natural fiber. Linen is heavy, smooth and stiffer. Breathable linen retains its coolness when hot and warms even in cooler places.
The comfort and softness of the fabric only increase with washing. Finlayson wanted to make the most durable sheets in the world, for which they took the model of the Turin shroud that has survived to this day.
We want to pamper our guests with the best towels. The weaving at Lapuan Kankurit, the manufacturer of our towels, is of Nordic design, inspired by Finland's pure and rugged nature. The fourth generation family business weaves responsibly, while respecting the environment. Only natural raw materials such as linen and wool are used. High-quality textiles last for decades when properly cared for.
