This beautifully restored Näränkä Wilderness Farm Rental Hut farmyard is located in southern Kuusamo in the Näränkä Natural Forests area. The Näränkä wilderness farm serves as a nature and heritage site, showcasing the surrounding nature and protected areas, as well as the life and activities of a remote farm that lived off the land. Additionally, the farm guides hikers trekking in the area. The aim is also to protect and maintain the traditional and cultural landscape, as well as to preserve the traditional forms of work associated with the farm's way of life.
You can book the main building (3 rooms and an open space upstairs) and the sauna but otherwise the farmyard is available to everybody. The Näränkä wilderness farm is not rented in the winter.
A rental hut is a place for an overnight stay that can be rented for only your use.
The reservation day for reservable and rental huts begins at 2 pm and end at 12 noon.
Bring along your invoice and proof of payment to the hut.
Available for rent in June-October.
