Guest Reviews
- Maximilian (10/5): хорошо - место очень красивое
- sami (1/5): Pettynyt - Tiedot mökistä, sen varustelusta ja siitä, että se sijaitsi vaikeakulkuisen reitin päässä saaressa oli ilmoitettu erittäin puutteellisesti ja vajavaisesti. Kyseiset tiedot selvisi meille vasta maksettuamme majoitus, vuokraajan lähettämästä infoviestistä. Jouduimme jättämään koko varauksen käyttämättä, koska meillä ei ollut liikuntarajoitteisuudesta johtuen mahdollisuutta päästä vesireitin ja hankalakulkuisen metsätaipaleen takana sijaitsevaan kohteeseen. Vuokraaja ei suostunut perumaan varausta, vaikka sitä pyydettiin edellä mainittuun vedoten.
Tuli tunne, että vuokrailmoitus oli selvästi tehty tarkoituksella harhaanjohtavaksi ja vaikeaselkoiseksi. Tämä kävi hyvin selväksi myös luettuamme jälkikäteen muidenkin henkilöiden jättämiä kommentteja kyseisestä kohteesta.
- Frank (1/5): Sterk afgeraden accommodatie!! - De locatie is mooi Het contact met verhuurder. Er was GEEN contact mogelijk. De verhuurder reageerde NIET op mijn telefoongesprekken. Sterker nog hij drukte mijn telefoongesprekken gewoon weg. Het leek of de verhuurder geen logisch verstand had. Want het was donker en mistig. Het was daardoor GEEN makkelijke opgave dit te doen. Mijn advies, ga hier NIET heen!
- Johanna (9/5): Ein schönes Abenteuer.
Super schöne Lage . - Die Lage ist traumhaft. Die Hütte hat alles was man braucht. Die Hunde konnten frei herum laufen und wir hatten eine tolle Zeit.
Der See ist wunderschön und bei gutem Wetter super zum Kanufahren und Schwimmen.
Es ist die meiste Zeit ganz still und friedlich. Ein toller Platz um die Seele baumeln zu lassen.
Die Sauna haben wir sehr gerne genutzt und man kann dort auch Wasser warm machen um sich zuwaschen. Die Beschreibung des Wegs zu der Hütte ist sehr wohlwollend gehalten.
Den Landweg haben wir gar nicht genutzt, da wir den Ankerplatz auf der Inseln nicht ausmachen konnten und der Fußweg ist so zugewachen, daß man schon eine Machtte bräuchte um ihn zubegehen. Wir haben es von der Hütte aus so 1 km in den Wald rein probiert, aber haben dann
aufgegeben, weil uns dass zu wild war.
Das Ruderboot ist sehr basic und es steht Wasser drin. Der Motor durfte nicht genutzt werden. Das Rudern ist schon bei etwas Wind recht heftig und wir haben bestimmt 30 Minuten gebraucht. Zum Glück hatten wir unsere eigenen Kanus mit und haben diese genutzt um, den Seeweg zur Hütte zunehmen. Das war bei windstille super schön und ein Highlight der Tour, aber wenn der Wind stärker ist wird das ganze zu einem echten Abenteuer.
Die Hütte war etwas unordentlich und das Equipment war drumherum verstreut.
Das Plumskloh ist sehr sehr voll.
Trotzdem war es ein super schöner Urlaub.
- Ernst (9/5): Excellent place to stay if you like quiet natural environment. - Scenic location with basic facilities and excellent sauna. Parts of the cabin seem under construction.
- J (9/5): I love Finnish lakeside life! - The location right by the lake was absolutely beautiful—so peaceful and quiet, just what I needed. The red cabin had this charming, rustic vibe, and it had everything I needed. I especially loved the wood-burning sauna—it made the whole place feel so warm and inviting. And the rowing boat? Such a nice touch! It was so much fun to get out on the water and enjoy the lake. The lack of electricity actually added to the charm—it felt like a proper escape from the everyday hustle. Owner informed me that they will install solar panel for phone charging in the near future. The walk to the cabin from the mainland was a little longer than I expected, but it wasn’t a big deal at all. And while Finnish summer nights aren’t really dark, having a bit more lighting inside the cabin would’ve been handy especially if you are not visiting during summer time. Also I would pay extra for cleaning service. But honestly, these were tiny things, and they didn’t take away from how great the stay was.
