Experience Finland at its very finest in this log cabin nestled away amongst the trees near Ruka and three kilometres from the nearby lake. Perfect for visiting in both summer and winter, this large split-level home is surrounded by stunning Finnish countryside. Look in any direction and you’re met with views of vast woodlands, while inside, the home provides a warm and cosy welcome to weary travellers. The double-height kitchen and dining space create a sense of occasion for family feasts, and the cleverly positioned log burner ensures that both the dining room and living area are kept nice and toasty in the winter. Convivial and light, the open-plan space opens onto the wrap-around terrace - perfect for letting the outdoors in and sitting out and admiring the scenery as dinner cooks on the barbecue. After a day on the slopes or an afternoon hike, rest and recharge in the sauna before settling in for a movie night in the lounge or the TV nook tucked up on the mezzanine level. And speaking of hikes, you’ll be just four kilometres away from the summer hiking trails of Valtavaara where you can really take in the breathtaking surrounding landscape. Winter visitors... will also find plenty of cross-country skiing and snowmobiling trails nearby, and Ruka is home to the nearest ski resort with plenty of ski runs and a ski school, all just a short drive away.

About Finland
Land of a thousand lakes, Finland is all about embracing the outdoors. In the south, it feels more like a series of islands as huge swathes of lake cut through the land. The way of life here is fish caught by your own hand, and smoked on the cabin terrace. Pine trees tower above and woodland walks and cycling is the way to immerse in nature. Summer brings endless daytime...
