Villa Vaara is a charming holiday cabin situated on the rapids of Matkakoski on the Torne river (River Tornio). This idyllic spot offers its visitors a splendid opportunity to enjoy nature and tranquility while providing various activities and attractions nearby. It's an ideal place for anglers and paddlers. Additionally, there are hiking trails in the area suitable for nature lovers and hikers. In winter, the area also offers a chance for downhill skiing at Aavasaksa Ski Resort, located approx. 35 km away from the cabin. Villa Vaara is an excellent spot for those who want to work remotely while enjoying an inspiring environment. The peaceful and nature-oriented surroundings also offer a chance for relaxation and stress relief. The cabin is located 37 km north of Tornio city center on the banks of the Torne river. The impressive Matkakoski rapids are just 150 m away. The cabin offers a magnificent view of the river. Due to the strong current, the beach is not suitable for swimming. On the ground floor of the cabin, there is a living room/kitchen with a sofa bed. Sauna, shower room/WC are also on this floor, along with a covered terrace. The upper floor has a double bed and one single bed. From the upper floor, there is access to a balcony with a stunning view of the river and the Swedish side. Please note that the stairs leading to the upper floor are steep. There is a shared cooking hut between two cabins. Closer to the beach, there is also a spacious lean-to and a campfire site. This lean-to can also be used by guests from another cabin (Villa Vonka). Final cleaning and pre-made bed linen are included in the rent. Matkakoski is also well-known for its fishing spots (salmon and whitefish), so you can observe traditional hand net based fishing right next to you. Three river boats are available for rent from the owner. In winter, the ski trails made by the owner start from the cabin. Services in Tornio and Haparanda (Sweden) 37-40 km.
