We had a really beautiful stay at Villa Kuulas. Everything was perfect and we wish to come back.

Lovely property a drive away from Ranua Zoo. This place is in the countryside, on a farm with dairy cows, and hosted by a really friendly family. The property is comfortable and spacious with all of the basics you will need (do go to the supermarket/shops before arriving as otherwise you have a long drive there and back). We slept very well, with no noise or disturbances (we were a family of 4, with 2 small kids). The sauna, overlooking the lake, is *really* something. Bring your swimclothes. Greetings to the hosts from Brussels!

We spent 5 unforgettable days in this house with our family and dog, celebrated New Year’s, and were absolutely delighted! This was our first visit to Finland, and the experience exceeded all expectations. We were especially touched by the care of the hosts, who prepared for our arrival so thoroughly that even the cold weather couldn’t spoil our stay. They provided us with warm boots, ushanka hats, balaclavas, and gloves for the entire family — it was a pleasant and unexpected gesture, especially since we weren’t fully prepared for the local frosts. The house itself is simply magical! Warm, cozy, built from wood, with a large fireplace, a spacious living room, two bedrooms, and even a sleeping area on the stove — perfect for those who want to experience the true atmosphere of countryside living. All the furniture is new, the house is spotlessly clean, and everything is organized. We particularly appreciated the many small but useful items that are often overlooked, like zip bags, plastic wrap, a potato peeler, and more. The hosts exceeded all expectations by organizing incredible winter activities for us. They offered sleds, a snowmobile, fishing gear for ice fishing, and equipment for skiing in the forest. Thanks to them, we enjoyed an active and adventurous holiday in nature. All of these activities were available for an additional fee, which was perfectly fine with us. The sauna was a special treat! After enjoying 100-degree heat, it was pure bliss to jump straight into the snow — an unforgettable experience! Unlimited access to firewood made this even more convenient and enjoyable. The house is located in a stunningly beautiful area: you can step right out of the door to a lake, surrounded by a snowy forest. The scenery is breathtaking and creates an unforgettable atmosphere. The hosts were always available, ready to answer any questions, and even helped us with our car before our departure. Their sincerity and kindness truly won us over.

Everything. It is the most equipped villa that I’ve seen so far. The kitchen has everything you could need. It is perfect for a group of 8 people. The owner is very nice and he helps a lot with anything you need. You can see the northern lights from the living above the lake. It’ amazing.

Location with a private lake access with a wood burning Sauna right next to it. Peace and quiet, lots of berries in the surrounding forests. Finnish experience full package

The view was beautiful. And the fireplace nice.

Location is very nice, calm and peaceful area, next to very big lake. Definitely nice at summertime too! But you need your own transportation, to move around the more rural area. House was more than excellent, big, nice interior and had everything you need for the stay. Even ground coffee for the machine, tea, candies etc. Warm, cozy and convenient. Outdoor sauna and hot tub is big bonus. Hosts were super nice and helpful, explained everything, when we arrived and were happy to answer all questions at any time. We also saw some auroras, when we turned the lights off!! Overall so good, would like to stay there again.
