Beautiful wooden home near downtown
We stayed here for the second time, so I knew the place. Lovely atmosphere still and it was especially nice to come to a familiar place. Tuira offered her best and we rode our bikes smoothly around the bucket of Oulu!

Sunin Tupa - Hiker Marmeladi
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this charming cabin! It was the perfect cozy retreat after a day of exploring. The cabin was beautifully decorated and had all the amenities we needed, including a fully equipped kitchen and comfortable beds. We especially loved the sauna and the private area outside where we could enjoy the fresh air and beautiful surroundings. The host was very responsive and provided clear instructions for our stay. The location was ideal, just a short drive from Oulu but still in a peaceful and natural setting. I highly recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway in the Finnish countryside.
