Iisakki Village
Log cabins and glass villas gather beside Lake Rukajärvi in Kuusamo
Iisakki Village is a cluster of cabins, glass villas and apartments set on the shore of Lake Rukajärvi, ten minutes from Ruka centre in Kuusamo. The mix of buildings ranges from a ten-person timber house to twin-room lodges and a guest house of four double rooms, so the property scales from a couple's stay to a group booking without changing address. Rooms come with a kitchenette, air conditioning and Wi-Fi, plain conveniences that matter after a day outdoors. Saunas line the lakeside, and three restaurants — Kontioluola, Iisakin Talo and Honkakota — cover meals without a drive into town. A ski bus connects the village to Ruka and Kuusamo. Activities run from the door: snowshoe walks, husky rides, canoeing on the lake in summer. The Iisakki Glass Village adds ten double rooms under glass roofing, aimed at anyone hoping to watch the sky rather than just hear about it. It is a working base, not a single hotel building, and the layout favours groups and families who want their own cabin and a shared sauna nearby. Facilities and grounds stay open through the year, so the same address serves midsummer canoe trips and midwinter husky runs alike. Parking is on site.
