Location & activities 🌲⛷️
Tunturituuli is in one of Ruka’s nicest areas: peaceful forest all around, yet only about 0.5 miles (800 m) easy walk to the East Ruka (Ruka Valley) lifts and services. A groomed cross-country ski trail starts right from the yard, so you can clip into your skis at the door.
Kuusamo town is about 16 miles (26 km) away, Ruka Village (West Ruka) about 3 miles (5 km), and Vuosselijärvi roughly 0.1 miles (150 m) from the cabin. Oulanka National Park, Pieni Karhunkierros and Riisitunturi are all easy day trips by car, so you can mix skiing, hiking and sightseeing in the same holiday.
In winter you’ll ski, snowboard, snowshoe and snowmobile straight from the area. In summer and autumn the same routes turn into great trails for hiking, trail running, mountain biking and berry picking.
⸻
Spaces & beds 🛏️
The cabin offers about 1,160 ft² (108 m²) of space over two floors, including a full-height loft. Downstairs you’ll find a high-ceiling living room, open kitchen and dining area, one bedroom and a bathroom with sauna. Upstairs there are two more bedrooms and an open lounge.
In total there are three bedrooms plus the upstairs lounge with extra beds, comfortably sleeping up to 9 guests. Beds are standard European doubles and singles, roughly similar to UK double/queen and single sizes. The layout works well for two families, a group of friends or a mix of adults and teens who want their own corners.
A utility room with washing machine and two drying cabinets, two toilets (one upstairs with an extra shower), a spacious entrance hall and two terraces make longer stays easy – especially with lots of outdoor and ski gear.
⸻
Sauna & cozy evenings 🔥🧖♀️
After a day on the slopes or trails, the private electric sauna with two showers and underfloor heating is the perfect place to warm up. You can step straight out to the sheltered back terrace to cool off in the fresh Lapland air.
The living room has a heat-storing fireplace and a large, comfy sofa – ideal for board games, a glass of wine or a movie night. One starter basket of firewood is included in your stay, and extra firewood can be ordered if needed.
The front terrace is lovely for a morning coffee, while the quieter backyard faces the forest. On clear nights you might even spot the northern lights dancing above the trees.
⸻
For families & remote work 🧑🧑🧒🧒💻
Tunturituuli is very family-friendly. Your stay includes a complimentary travel cot, high chair, potty and child safety gate, so even the smallest travellers are well taken care of. If you’re arriving with more little ones, an extra travel cot and/or high chair can be arranged for a small additional fee.
Reliable Wi-Fi and a proper dining table make it easy to combine remote work with days on the slopes – perfect for workations or longer stays. There’s a smart TV both in the living room and upstairs lounge, so kids and adults can relax in their own spaces.
For drivers, the covered carport with engine heater outlet and an EV charging point means you can arrive late in winter, plug in and start the next day with a warm car and a full battery.

🌟You will have the entire charming log villa exclusively for yourselves — no shared walls, no neighbours. Enjoy complete privacy, your own spacious yard, and all the comforts of the cabin, just as if you had your own holiday home in the heart of Ruka.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Samuli Björk
I’m Samuli, a Finnish host who divides his time between busy everyday life in Tampere and recharging in Lapland. Our family has always loved Ruka and the Finnish Lapland – the snow, the trails, the changing seasons – and Tunturituuli is our way of sharing that with others.
I enjoy good coffee, long days outdoors and simple, well-thought-out spaces that are easy to live in. That’s what we’ve tried to create in this cabin: a place where everything works, so you can focus on your holiday instead of small hassles.
I like hosting because it’s rewarding to help guests have a smooth, memorable stay – especially first-time visitors to Lapland. Check-in is self-service and we respect your privacy, but I’m easy to reach and respond quickly to messages if you need tips, help or just reassurance about something.

Why they chose this property
We chose this neighborhood because it gives you the real Lapland feeling without losing any of the convenience. The cabin sits in a quiet forest area near Vuosseli/Ruka Valley, so you wake up to snow-covered trees, reindeer tracks and fresh Nordic air – yet the lifts, ski school, rental shops and restaurants are only a short walk or quick drive away.
What we enjoy most is how easy it is to step straight into nature. In winter, groomed cross-country ski trails start practically from the doorstep, and alpine skiing is just down the road. In summer and autumn, the same trails turn into beautiful routes for hiking, trail running, mountain biking and berry picking, with lakes and national parks like Oulanka within comfortable day-trip distance.
It’s also a very calm, family-friendly area: no nightclubs or heavy traffic outside the windows, just other cabins and forest. On clear nights there is little light pollution, so you can often simply turn off the lights, step into the yard and watch the stars – and with a bit of luck, the northern lights – right above the cabin.

What makes this property unique
Tunturituuli combines the best of both worlds in Ruka: a peaceful Lapland forest setting and very easy access to the slopes and services. The cabin sits in a quiet area near Vuosseli/Ruka Valley, about 0.5 miles (800 m) from the lifts and ski school, with a groomed cross-country ski trail starting right from the yard. You don’t need a car for every outing – you can simply step outside and head straight to the slopes or tracks.
Inside, it’s a modern, spacious wooden cabin (3 bedrooms + loft, up to 9 guests) that’s designed for real-life use, not just for photos. There’s a proper sauna with two showers, two toilets, a utility room with washing machine and two drying cabinets, smart TVs upstairs and downstairs, fast Wi-Fi for remote work and an EV charging point in the carport. The layout works equally well for two families, a group of friends or a longer “workation”.
For families, Tunturituuli is especially easy: your stay includes a complimentary travel cot, high chair, potty and child safety gate, and we can arrange an extra cot and/or high chair for a small fee. Check-in is fully self-service with a smart lock, so you can arrive whenever it suits you without arranging a meeting. We respond quickly and clearly to messages if you need anything, but we also respect your privacy – the idea is that you can simply settle in, feel at home and enjoy Lapland in peace, rather than staying in a generic rental.
