The Mobile Aurora Cabins are a clever re-working of Finland's cabins on skis which are pulled by snow mobile across frozen lakes. Traditionally used by Finnish famillies to carry luggage (and children) to their summer houses in winter time, these cabins have experienced an upgrade to include a double bed, chemical toilet and safe heating system. There are large windows surrounding the bed to offer comfortable night sky gazing and there is a basic lighting system installed in the cabin. The cabins do not have electricity or running water. Esko also rents out his mobile hot tub and sauna to add to your experience.
