Agne Lithuania

We had one of the most private huts, the location is stunning and super quiet! The view was amazing and the whole hut is small but well designed, with the huge comfortable bed taking nearly half the space. It was stylish, clean, warm and truly relaxing. The breakfast was not excessive but of very high quality. On top of that they use mostly local resources ( friendly staff as well as food, bed linen, cutlery etc.) and green energy, which they shouldn't be shy about promoting :) As pets are welcome, too, we'll be back with our dog some day in summer.

Denise Finland

Location is good, 10 minutes drive from Ruka center. Very nice view from the window and nice personnel. Bed is huge and very comfy. Room was very warm. Pets accepted and easy to facilitate in the room.
