Nature and surroundings

The house is located in old forest on Lake Ranua, with the village of Ranua on the other side six kilometers away. The Taiga forest is characterized by its pure air. It is a true area of silence, which prevents some city dwellers from falling asleep. The hard lake shore also makes it very suitable for small children. Sunset in summer on the terrace on the lake side is particularly beautiful although, depending on the season, between 7 p.m. and midnight! The hiking trail around the lake starts 80 meters from the cottage, cross-country skiing and motorsled trail 600 meters. Ranua is seven kilometers away and offers stores and restaurants. Skiing (downhill) can be done at 60 kilometers, horseback riding at 15 kilometers. The Ranua Zoo (10 kilometers) offers many opportunities with reindeer, huskies, snowmobiles, ice fishing, nature tours, et cetera. Rovaniemi is 88 kilometers and offers museums, restaurants, events, Santa Claus and downhill skiing in season. The log cabin is as the crow flies 75 kilometers south of the Arctic Circle, which means it doesn't get dark for three months in summer. You also have many hours of sunshine. The temperature of the swimming water is usually between 19 and 23 degrees. During the winter semester, you have a good chance of seeing the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis).

    The cabin was amazing. You are somewhere in the woods, the lacke is close by and you can enjoy the silence of nature. The owner was welcoming and extremly helpful and nice.

    Beautiful chalet! Super cozy, very homey. Sauna and fireplace great. Eco-toilet not our thing but you get used to that too. Beds moderate but with a topper from another bed just doable. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Very nice host who has time for you.

    Great surroundings. Lots of trees, frozen lake, neighbors only 500m away. Very quiet, no one comes near you (winter time)

    Fine cottage. We actually only slept inside, otherwise always on the terrace. And we were with 4 people, so plenty of room. Mosquito nets worked fine, so no problems with mosquitoes inside. Eco-toilet took some getting used to, but worked. Kitchen utensils plentiful, including things like blender and cheese slicer. Good oven, hob and combi microwave. Wifi we had not counted on, but was there. Handy for preparing trips. Only bed downstairs a bit hard, but there were thin deck-mattresses to put on top.

    The place was beautiful and quiet. In terms of nature maybe a little too quiet, some birds on the lake and in the woods would be nice. But it was also very warm, maybe that makes a difference with observing. Fishing, rowing, canoeing and swimming on/in the lake was wonderful.
