The building was built in the beginning of 21st century. The plan was to build a semi-detached house with quality and good design for private use.
The cottage was planned and designed by the construction owners themselves as they worked in the construction and real-estate field. During the building process the original plan was changed in a way that there would be only one house/cottage with two separate upstairs and a common living room, kitchen, and sauna area. And for that reason, there are two separate electricity and ventilation units in the building.
This solution has shown to be practical because the house is now suitable for bigger families or for family friends, for companies or for other bigger groups.
The original expression and atmosphere will be saved in the future, too. Equipment and furniture are being updated yearly. Smoking and animals have not been allowed in the house to ensure visitors health.
There are two open garages with storage for outdoor equipment in the yard. In spring 2022 a pavilion was built in the back yard. This pavilion is semi-heated and there are a fireplace and space for dining and chilling.
There is a path to a creek, called Soukkelojoki, and there you can dip in the water. Lightning on the way to the creek is being planned as well as a fireplace by the creek.
The house is being maintained by a local company.
There are a common beach and a place for small boats at Pyhäjärvi lake which is close to the cottage.
The Ruka area has approximately 125 km of ski trails which are maintained by the town. The closest ski trail starts only 500 meters from the house on the southside of Rukajärventie street. A bus stop is situated close to Soukkelotie on Rukajärventie street and the SkiBus stops by waving a hand in this bus stop, too.
There are a wireless WiFi (DNA), TV, Bluetooth speaker and 3 radios in the house.
Please, read the House Manual and instructions.
