Silver Birch Resort: A Private Lakeside Escape Near Rovaniemi

Set on a private peninsula along the quiet shores of Lake Jyrhämäjärvi, just 20 kilometres from Rovaniemi, Silver Birch Resort offers a peaceful place to stay surrounded by the nature of Lapland. With views across the lake and forests stretching in every direction, it’s a setting well suited for couples, families, and small groups seeking both comfort and connection with nature.

Accommodation is provided in five exclusive lake-view cabins, offering a peaceful sanctuary for a three or four-night stay in five hectares of untouched wilderness. With space for up to 20 guests, Silver Birch Resort provides a personal and intimate atmosphere where dedicated guides ensure that each stay is filled with adventure and discovery for all ages.

During the summer and autumn months, the lake becomes the centre of activity. Canoeing tours with Wild About Lapland depart directly from the shore, allowing guests to glide across still water under the Midnight Sun or enjoy the changing colours of the forest as the seasons shift. These gentle outings are open to all, including families with younger children, and are guided at a relaxed pace.

All stays include airport or city centre transfers, as well as daily breakfast and dinner served in the resort’s private restaurant. Menus are shared in advance so guests can choose their meals, and dishes are made with local ingredients—simple, well-prepared, and suited to all ages.

Seasonal packages bring added structure for those looking to build a full holiday, with tours and experiences designed for families and groups. Whether it’s paddling in the evening light, sitting quietly by the lake, or warming up after a day outdoors, Silver Birch Resort offers space to slow down and enjoy life in the north, one moment at a time.
