The cabin has a combined kitchen/living room with an electric sauna. The water is supplied from the spring. There is an additional wood-heated sauna by the pond, a dressing room with a fireplace, and a double sofa bed. Tap water comes from a spring and contains iron, which causes slight harm to the color and taste of the water, but the water is safe to drink (water has been examined). The client can bring drinking water if he wants.

Exploring Ruka-Kuusamo Region

Ruka-Kuusamo is renowned for its natural beauty, a region of fells and forests in an almost untouched wilderness adorned by lakes, rivers, and rapids. Kuusamo is one of Finland's major holiday destinations, attracting almost a million tourists each year. Many of these tourists arrive in the winter months to enjoy the excellent skiing available at the nearby ski resorts, especially Ruka Ski Resort, one of the largest in Finland, and international standing.

The Diverse Wilderness of Kuusamo

Kuusamo attracts more than just skiers, as the city is situated on a plateau approximately 250 meters above sea level, and from here the waters flow in five different directions, connecting it to the Barents Sea, the Gulf of Bothnia, and the Baltic. Surrounding Kuusamo there are thousands of lakes, rivers, rapids, canyons, and ancient forests that have remained untouched, all hemmed in by some of the most striking falls in all of Finland. This beautiful wilderness is home to some of Finland's rarest species of animals and plants, including the large predators of the forests such as wolves, bears, and wolverines, and provides the nature lover with the chance to experience something truly unique. Because of its proximity to Russia, fauna and flora are diverse, comprising arctic, Siberian, and Southern species.
