Built in the shape of the Kalevala kokko (eagle), this striking wood-and-concrete building 4.5km southeast of central Kuhmo is the area's best place to stay. Most of its 47 warm-hued rooms have lake views, and the hotel takes full advantage of its gorgeous setting with a relaxing Jacuzzi and sauna area with vistas and plenty of activity options year-round.
Rowboats, canoes, SUPs (stand-up paddleboards) and bikes are available for hire. Its restaurant serves local and international dishes. The property neighbours the Kuhmon Talvisotamuseo Winter War Museum.
