February 2024. We had an incredible stay at SkiTuonela. The cabin was a perfect cozy retreat after enjoying your snowy trails. We are so impressed with it all. We will be back. THANK YOU. Sean, Catherine, Jennie Cameron & Madeline.
“The village is comprised of eight cabins, a hut with an amazing sauna, recreational buildings for socializing and it just looks like it belongs in a fairy tale. When sitting in front of our wood stove, it really felt like we were in a European chalet, somewhere in the forest, far away from the noise and busy demands of everyday life.
Steaming in the wood-fired sauna was the perfect apres-ski activity one could ask for 🙂 And hanging out by the fireplace well into the late hours of the night, while drinking warm beverages felt like a true vacation. We simply did not want to leave. Without a doubt, we will be coming back!”

“Hi Anni: Thank you for being flexible and accommodating for our little wedding. It was perfect! It’s hard to express how special your Ski Tuonela is to me. It’s really how and why I fell in love with Mike and Cape Breton. I am so grateful for you and Chris. Funny how you can never know what impact you may have on some one’s life just by deciding to create a ski-business! You truly have a beautiful place which I hope will be protected for years to come.” Jenni & Mike Van.         Feb 10 2017

Thank you for an amazing experience. You could not have known that the conditions would be this perfect. And the light-show at night rivalled event the Northern Lights. Truly and incredible story in our lives. See you next Valentine’s Day. Daryl & Gina”.    Feb 14 2017
Chris & Anni.
Thanks so much for a perfect escape from reality.
Hospitality was great…even up to the eleventh hour. 🙂

Hi Chris,
Russell and I just wanted to thank you and Anni for another greatÂ
weekend. The ski out was fantastic. The kids did wonderful andÂ
couldn’t believe how quickly we made it to the van. They even skiedÂ
down the steep hill at the end. They had so much confidence when weÂ
reached it. It was a perfect day for learning and your tips were veryÂ
helpful. They said it was the most fun they have ever had!
See you soon,
~Krista and Russell

Chris and Anni,
On behalf of our group of locals, thank you so much for allowing us to kick off our March Break at Tuonela. What an amazing place, right in our own backyard. The accommodations were well stocked, cozy and warm.
We made great use of the Tanzhaus games room and the Lodge where we took in the movies Chris has shot of his adventures. The hospitality was wonderful. We snowshoed and skied; the scenery was beautiful.
We have been letting everyone know about this gem of a spot; hopefully more locals will take advantage of this excellent place, so close to home.
So thanks again, you’ll be seeing us in the fall for a hiking adventure!

Dear Chris and Annie,
I just wanted to thank you both so much for all you did to make our stay at Ski – Tuonela a fabulous experience for all of us. We especially appreciate that you have created such a magical place where nature, snow and friends can be appreciated and one can slow down and relax and have fun.
I know I speak for the others in thanking you and am sure that many or all of us will be back again before long.
Best regards,
Dr. Peter Eatonl
I feel so blessed to have been there to welcome the first winter wonderland gift of the year! Thanks for the wonderful New Year’s celebration – you made it a very special event!
