Wow! What an absolutely perfect cottage experience. Sauna, swimming, barbecueing, fishing, foraging for mushrooms… Felt in touch with nature and felt amazing to disconnect here from the busy city life. Easy check in, clean cottage with heating with all the amenities you could think of and secluded for your own privacy. Could not have asked for a better experience! Thank you Mikko and Eija! ❤️
This is a beautiful cabin at a perfect location. Serene and restful for us and a short break from a hectic holiday.
Very nice , comfortable cabin in the middle of the forest. Beautiful views, amazing nature just from the deck. Suitable for long stay – equipped kitchen, sauna, very good internet and phone coverage.
We had a great time at your place. Mikko and Eija are super nice and made our days completely easy. Perfect spot to leave everything behind and just enjoy the nature.
