Like something you’d find in a Nordic fairytale, this rustic log cabin on the outskirts of Ruka, Finland, is all about getting back to nature. Surrounded by trees, the home feels at one with its forest surroundings, made entirely of timber inside and out. Cabin comfort is the name of the game indoors, with antler art, reindeer ornaments and nature-inspired art evoking traditional Finnish charm. Snuggle up on the big, grey sofa with a mug of coffee while you warm yourself up by the log fire. After a day of snowshoeing along the nearby Pyhän Jyssäys trail or exploring the Oulanka National Park (thirty minutes away by car), come back home for rest and relaxation in your private sauna. Then, cook up a hearty meal in the sleek, modern kitchen or keep the cabin culture going strong with a barbecue in the great outdoors. With Ruka village just seven minutes away by car and Kuusamo’s centre under thirty minutes away, this home is remote while still being well connected.

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...
