Built in the 80's by a Finnish family, the handcrafted solid cedar log cabins are the original 'Scandi tiny home'. They are a true "Mökki" or Finnish Summer cottage, where Finnish families go to immerse themselves in the natural beauty of their environment. The property was named Lappi as it reminded the family of Lapland, in their home country of Finland, and they positioned the cabins perfectly for privacy and to take in the incredible views over the Snowy River and farmlands of the Monaro Plains.


Today, some 40 years later, Lappi Farm is still providing that same experience for it's guests.
