We have deep running connections to arctic areas and understand the delicate balances of nature at play here.

At Jänkä Resort, nature sets the pace. Here, humans and animals connect through trust and respect. More than pets, our animals are partners and teachers, seeing us beyond words. We ensure our animals live in natural environments, with their well-being always coming first.
This approach draws inspiration from our co-owner, Michele Murphy-Kaulanen:
“We aim to offer authentic connections with animals, moments of stillness, and a deeper presence through them. Working with animals calms the human mind, fostering bonds many have never experienced before. The key is arriving as your true self, open to the moment. This is the experience we wish to share at Jänkä Resort.”
Ranch is opening for the Christmas Season 2025.
