Maija was very helpful and easy to contact. The house was neat and comfortable for a couple, much nicer than you can expect from the pictures. It has both an electric sauna inside the house and a traditional one nearby. The are mosquito nets on the kitchen door leading to the backyard and on the balcony door on the second floor. The nature around is very beautiful, and there are supermarkets in the town nearby.

It's not as secluded as some other locations we've been to - there are some other houses and farms nearby, you can hear the railroad and motor boats go past the house sometimes. It didn't bother us much and wasn't very noisy, but it's not the quiet of the remote nature one can be looking for. As for the house, the stairs and floorboards on the top floor are creaky, and there are no doors in the bedroom nook on the ground floor (there are thick curtains that keep off the light but they don't cancel noise), so there's very little privacy. The double bed isn't comfy as well, not if you have back issues (maybe they should get rid of the top thin mattress and leave only the regular thick mattress that is beneath). Otherwise it's a really nice place.

The location by lakeside is amazing. The kitchen set-up, TV, Wifi, Options for Indoor and outdoor games was really nice. Quiet neighbourhood. Wooden as well as electric Sauna available.

Bedroom on ground floor has only curtains and no doors. The wooden floor on the top was weak. It made squeaky noise whenever someone is walking upstairs. It disturbs the people on ground floor. Lacks privacy when 2 families are staying.

Amazing spot right at the lake. Everything you need is available and included.

Have to ride few kilometers on a Gravel road. Might be a problem for some travellers.
