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.

Terms of reservation for huts

Reservations

Tips for a smooth booking

Make all reservations under the same order if you book several huts or other sites for the same trip. According to the reservation terms, the minimum refundable amount per order is €30.
Make reservations under separate orders if you book huts or other sites for several different trips. Managing separate reservations is easier, and you will receive a separate due date for each one, 14 days before the start of the reservation.

Notes for all bookers

The reservation day for shared rental huts, rental huts and other rental structures begins at 2 pm and ends at 12 noon.
Keep the order confirmation of your paid reservation with you. Check the information related to keys in the "Keys" section (located halfway down the page).
By following the hut etiquette, you ensure that the use of hut is smooth. Learn about the hut etiquette (luontoon.fi).

Notes for corporate customers

A foreign company can place an order in the company's name only as an unregistered customer.
When a company regularly takes its customers to destinations with hiking infrastructure maintained by Metsähallitus, it must have a cooperation agreement. Read more in the information bank for entrepreneurs.
