Fantastic cosy family holiday - a log cabin in the snow.

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 30 Dec 2023via mobile
The accommodation was well appointed, clean and very welcoming. We had a 4 bedroom cabin overlooking the lake. Plenty of room for the 6 of us plus a sauna.
The cabins are set in the woods and are well away from each other. It was picture postcard perfect.

Prior to arrival I had emailed many many questions - all of which were answered.
Our principal host Kalle arranged snowmobile safari and husky safari. Both were well organised and very accessible.
There is a restaurant on site in which we ate our evening meals. They were single menu items which we had pre booked. The meals were three courses, first and dessert served at the table and the main was a buffet style - good for us as we could choose our quantities- there was also no shortage!

We had a problem with our hire car and so caught a cab to the accommodation where Kalle sorted us another car. That saved the day.

We were able to access our cabin early and were lucky enough to be able to keep it past our checkout time as they had nobody booked in until the next day.

Ruka is approximately 15km away. It is a ski resort with bars and restaurants. I don’t know what the slopes are like as we are not a family of skiers. We accessed the slopes with sledges and had a great time.

We found all those running the accommodation very personable and friendly. They couldn’t do enough for us and made our break very special. We are looking to return!

We were in the Singer Cabin in late april and the experience was really nice. The Cabin is confortable and beautiful, with lot of details. The surroundings are wonderful, in front of the Cabin there is a lake and even if it is in the middle of the nature, it is between 2 national parks (Hossa and Oulanka). Also, It is 20 min from Rukka, where there is snowmobile safarys, husky safarys, Sky, etc.
The owners were very nice and understable with us and tried to help us and adapt in every moment.
Moreover, the quality-price relation is just so good!
If I ever came back to Finland, I'd love to repeat in this place.

Absolutely excellent!
Highly recommend... Extremely comfortable, clean cabins with all the modern needs such as WiFi. Very warm even when it gets very (very) cold!
We stayed here a few days while photographing birds in the area and couldn’t recommend it more. Dinner and breakfast are very good too. Great soups & ‘surprise’ deserts...

Hi,

W are very happy to hear that everything went good and you were happy.

Weather can be problem sometimes, and good to know that cabin was warm. When guests are having activities in cold weather, it´s best to have hot sauna after long day!

I will tell the regards to our chefs, thank you.


We hope that you come back again.


Best regards,

Kalle

We were here for a short break to do all the Finnish stuff, husky sledding, Northern Lights and snowmobiling. We were in the Pikku Junga Cabin which was lovely and exactly what we needed for a really great log cabin experience. Heiki and Tuala were great hosts and the food was lovely traditional Finnish. Everything was clean and the Sauna was very welcome when it was -27 outside.

The seating area could have been more comfortable and the double bed was two singles pushed together, not a problem apart from the shelf to hit your head on! But small things on a very lovely stay and we would love to come back and see it it in the summer.

Hello,

Thank you for your feedback! So nice to hear that you enjoyed your stay and had a chance to experience a real winter wonderland :)
We will see if there is something we could do with the seating area to make it more comfortable or with the shelf above the beds.

Hopefully we will see you again soon, have a nice spring!

Br, Kalle

We stayed three nights at Oivangin Lomakartano with a group of six. Tuula and Heikki did everrything to make us feel welcomed. Lovely place, great service and close to everything. The food was excellent and you can't leave before a Sauna evening & jaquzzi under the start (and Northern lights if your lucky!)
