At the Ruka turn-off on the main road, this friendly motel-style set-up offers good facilities, including a guest laundry. The 12 rooms are small apartments sleeping up to six, and have spacious bathrooms and small, equipped kitchens. The owners will take groups of walkers to the Karhunkierros trailheads.
Santa is a personal friend of the owners and can come and visit in winter. Prices drop substantially in summer.
