Dear guests,

Welcome to the Taiga School, our tranquil oasis in the heart of Finnish wilderness. I am Judith Rink, your proud host, and the keeper of this unique eco-hotel.

Our journey began with a simple desire - to return to life in its most authentic form. A life lived in harmony with nature, oneself, and the community around us. We found our calling here in Finland, and it is my deepest pleasure to share this beautiful, balanced lifestyle with you.

The Taiga School is more than just an accommodation - it is a home away from home, a place of tranquility, learning, and self-discovery. As your host, I am committed to ensuring your stay with us is comfortable, enriching, and memorable.

Whether you're here for our tailored group weeks, to participate in our 'Art Retreat', or simply to unwind and reconnect with nature, I am here to facilitate your journey.

Welcome to our humble abode. Welcome to the Taiga School.

Warm regards,

Judith Rink

Welcome to the world of the Rink family, Dutch expatriates who chose to swap their homeland for the serene expanse of Finland's wilderness. Driven by a desire to return to life as it ought to be - balanced, connected, and purposeful - they now live amidst the tranquil beauty of nature, miles away from the bustle of the city.

Their life is one of self-discovery and harmony, with days spent in tune with nature's rhythm, their minds enriched by the quiet peace of their surroundings. They firmly believe in the power of community, building connections that are genuine and profound.

Located just a 10-minute drive from Ruka, it is a haven for those seeking to reconnect with nature and themselves. The accommodation offers a perfect blend of relaxation and adventure - from practicing yoga, enjoying saunas, to exploring the beauty of Lake Kitka.

Their story is not just about a change of scenery, but a complete transformation of living. It is a testament to the power of simplicity and mindfulness, and they are eager to share the precious wisdom they've garnered over the years. So, come join the Rinks on this remarkable journey and rediscover life as it should be."
