A Genuine Wilderness Experience in Kuusamo

Isokenkäisten Klubi is a family run wilderness destination located beside the clear waters of Lake Heikinjärvi, surrounded by quiet forests and Arctic nature. Here, days follow the rhythm of the seasons, combining relaxation, local traditions and outdoor experiences in a peaceful natural setting.

Far from busy tourist centres yet easily accessible from Kuusamo and Ruka, Isokenkäisten Klubi offers an authentic stay where guests can slow down, reconnect with nature and experience the atmosphere of northern Finland.

At Isokenkäisten Klubi, nature is not an attraction built for tourists. It is part of everyday life. Traditional smoke sauna, homemade local food, lakeside accommodation and northern hospitality are all deeply connected to the surrounding wilderness and local way of life.

Accommodation options range from comfortable wilderness hotel rooms and guest house accommodation to traditional log cottages and unique Aurora Huts located by the lake. Whether you are travelling as a couple, family, group of friends or nature focused traveller, you can find a stay that matches your travel style and desired level of comfort.

Wilderness Lodges & Lakeside Accommodation

The lodges and cottages at Isokenkäisten Klubi are built in harmony with the surrounding landscape using wood from our own forests and recycled materials, including timber from old barn buildings. Covered with traditional grey pine boards, the buildings reflect local building traditions and the authentic atmosphere of the region.

Guests can choose from private lakeside cottages, cosy hotel rooms and Aurora Huts offering a close connection to nature in every season. Many accommodation options include private saunas, fireplaces and direct access to the peaceful surroundings of the lake and forest.

For a truly memorable Arctic experience, the Aurora Huts offer the opportunity to stay directly by the lake and watch the northern sky from your bed.

Sauna Bathing, a Blissful Feeling

The gentle warmth and scent of our Seven Star Smoke Sauna leaves you with an ever-lasting memory. Bathing in a smoke sauna is a unique experience, with peat moss treatment and a dip in the lake water, in summer from the pier, in winter through a hole in the ice.
