Guest experiences

Plenty of space outdoors, an excellently equipped kitchen and beautiful lake views. Special points for the smoke sauna. There was enough sleeping space and privacy when needed, even for a larger group. Communication with the owner was effortless.

Plenty of accommodation and a great setting for a large group. The wood-heated sauna is spacious with excellent steam. The ice hole is a plus. A very well-equipped cottage with everything promised.

The accommodation was very clean and perfect for a larger group. The shared spaces were lovely, while there was still enough room for privacy when wanted.

The host is very friendly, helpful and responds quickly. The accommodation is excellent for large groups. The kitchen is exceptionally well equipped and the accommodation is spotlessly clean.

I absolutely recommend this wonderful forest paradise for a family holiday. Five families stayed together and enjoyed nature, peace, beauty, fishing, boating, sauna and hiking. The children loved fishing, playing outdoors and boating on beautiful Lake Palvia. We have visited in winter for skiing at Himos and again in summer. Both times our children said it was the best place and holiday ever. Thank you for the warm welcome.
