HARMAJA

Holiday home details

Just a hundred metres from a cross-country ski track – you couldn't really wish for a better starting point for a ski holiday. This kelo log cabin is set in its own peaceful spot in Ruka, Kuusamo, with no other cabins in view. It's only 6.5 kilometres to the Ruka ski slopes. A snowmobile trail runs just 2 kilometres away, so winter adventures are quite literally on the doorstep.

Built in 1989, this two-storey kelo log cabin has a warm, traditional atmosphere – the kind of place where the scent of kelo logs and the warmth of the heat-retaining fireplace make you feel instantly at home. Upstairs there are two bedrooms and a cosy living area with a combined kitchen/living room, which opens onto a balcony. A pull-out sofa provides extra sleeping space on this floor. Downstairs there is a separate living area with a pull-out sofa bed, a bathroom, a sauna with an electric sauna heater, a utility room, and a terrace for spending time outdoors. There are four beds in total, plus the same number of extra beds, so there is comfortable space for larger groups too. There are two indoor toilets.

The cabin has wifi, so you can share your news right after a day on the slopes. The yard also has a rowing boat and a car engine heater socket for cold winter days (additional services may be subject to a charge). The kitchen is well equipped: an induction hob, dishwasher, microwave and fridge-freezer take care of cooking, while a washing machine handles everyday laundry.

Services are close by too – it's about 5.2 kilometres to the nearest shop and restaurant.

This cabin is especially suited to a family or larger group on a ski holiday who want to be close to the ski tracks and slopes, while still enjoying a spacious and peaceful stay spread across two floors.
