Kaunis, perinteinen hirsimökki ja uudempi saunatupa järven rannalla ovat ihan paras paikka viettää rentoa lomaa perheen tai ystävien kesken! Saunassa on mahtavaa löylytellä ja omalla rannalla ilo polskia. Kuistilla ja koivujen katveessa olevalla rantaterassilla on mukava paistatella päivää. Mökissä on sähkölämmitys ja juokseva vesi.

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! ❤️
