CABINS

Our cabin, Purnutar, is located in the Purnuniemi area of Koli, at Isopurnu 1, 83960 Lieksa. Purnuniemi is a pleasant holiday cabin destination close to the village of Koli’s services. In the yard area and the surrounding terrain, it is easy to travel accessibly along the road. There is plenty of space in the yard area for several cars, and in the winter, there is the opportunity to use heating sockets for 2 vehicles. The yard area and roads to the buildings are made up of fine and hard-surfaced gravel. An even, short lawn surrounds the cabin’s yard area. A hard-based and wide gravel road runs from the cabin’s yard to the beach and the rest of the cabin village. In the vicinity (220m) of our cabins, you can find the start of an illuminated and asphalted pedestrian path. The footpath provides a pleasant way to travel to the village of Koli by foot, with a pushchair, wheelchair or by bicycle. The Port of Koli is passed along the way. In the summer, you can visit the beach, which is at a distance of 250m from our cabin. A short and wide sand path descends to the sandy beach. The beach has a sand and rock base. In the winter, the distance from the cabin to the illuminated ski tracks is approximately 150m and 3.9km to the skiing slopes of Ukko-Koli. Purnutar is a duplex with two identical cabin apartments with a floor area of 78 square meters and a high level of amenities. Pets are welcome at our cabins. The shared yard area has its own privacy, and there is no visibility to the other cabins. There is plenty of room in the yard to lounge, chill and have barbecues. You can even set up an event tent on the large lawn area. In the outdoor storage, you can find a gas grill or firewood to make an open fire. Outdoor games, a campfire site, a trampoline, and hammocks further increase enjoyment. In addition, you have access to use Purnutar’s private, traditional rowing boat (life jackets). In other words, your family and friends will all enjoy their stay.
