Cottage · Ruka · Finland
This spacious cottage in Ruka sits right by Lake Iso-Veskajärvi, with a shallow sandy-and-rocky beach and a rowing boat for easy days on the water. It is a good fit for larger groups who want a quiet base close to skiing, trails, and Kuusamo.
The cottage combines a generous two-storey log build with a lakeside setting and a proper Finnish sauna. Guests can gather in the combined kitchen and living room, warm up by the fireplace, and head straight down to the shore for swimming, boating, or summer evenings at the barbecue hut.
This high-set, two-storey log cottage sits 20 km north of Kuusamo and just 6 km from Ruka, with Lake Iso-Veskajärvi only 30 metres away. The setting is peaceful, with mixed forest around the cottage and a shallow sandy-and-rocky beach at the shore.
Inside, the cottage is arranged for shared time and easy living. The combined kitchen and living room gives the group one central space to cook, eat, and relax, while the heat-storing fireplace adds a cosy focal point. The cottage has four bedrooms in total, plus two sleeping alcoves upstairs without doors, and an electric sauna for slow evenings after a day outdoors.
Outside, the lakeside location is the real draw. A rowing boat is available, and the shore offers a simple place to swim and spend time by the water. There is also a barbecue hut on the property, making it easy to enjoy meals outdoors in both summer and winter.
For active days, ski tracks are close by and Ruka is a short drive away. The cottage also suits guests who want a practical base near Kuusamo, with pets allowed and a stay that works well for families or larger groups.
