The amount of luxuries is a divisive question. Some want electricity and running water; others look for a Spartan experience. However, a matching set of dishes and cutlery is out of place at most cabins, so be sure to mismatch mugs, towels and spades.
Fashion is also best left to the city, choose relaxed and nature-proof stuff to wear instead. Don't get your #1 clothes sooty and smoky, but roughen up your surplus jacket to add character to it.
The Finnish summer often plays tricks on you, so be prepared!
Whenever possible, take it easy. Field cots and hammocks are excellent choices for loitering, but also provide a place to sleep for guests (or yourself).
Prepare for accidents too! The cabin should have a dedicated stash of first aid items, but a smaller kit is good to have on you at all times. As a preventive method, drink plenty of water too. Canteens are most suitable for this.
Have fun!
