Bed sheets and towels are provided by request, but you can also bring your own linen along. The guests are responsible for the cleaning of the cottage prior to leaving it; otherwise, separate cleaning fee will be charged.
Food & Drinks
You can prepare your meals in the cottage and acquire necessary products in the nearby shops. Note that tap water in Finland is drinkable thus no need to buy bottle. There are several groceries in the town of Kuusamo (ca. 12 km), as well as at the Ruka Holiday and Ski Resort.
