Cozy summer cottage in Koitere
The cabin features a main room with an open-plan living and dining area. There are two bedrooms, each with a 120 cm wide bed. In addition, the living room has a sofa bed, and a foldable extra bed and a travel cot for babies are available if needed. There is no running water inside the cabin, but water can be pumped from a private well. The kitchen has a sink, and you can do the dishes and cook as usual — the cabin operates with manually carried water. The water has been tested and is confirmed to be clean. Dogs are allowed. There is also a small dog kennel and an insulated doghouse on the property. The yard is fenced, but we cannot guarantee that dogs cannot escape. There is a covered barbecue area with both a charcoal/wood grill and a gas grill. The lakeside sauna includes a changing room and the sauna itself. Washing water is carried from the lake. The sauna stove has a small water tank for heating wash water. The sandy beach is shallow and ideal for children. The sun shines nicely on the beach during the day.

A secluded cabin at the tip of a headland
A hidden gem by the pond, built by Vuorineuvos S.A. Tervo for himself at the tip of a headland, offers a peaceful haven steeped in history. This atmospheric, electrified cabin offers peace and quiet in the midst of nature, yet is only about 15 km (9 miles) from the services of the town of Nurmes (Bomba and Hyvärilä are about a 10-minute drive away). The shallow, fish-rich pond offers excellent recreational opportunities, and the surrounding area provides good mushroom and berry picking grounds. An idyllic place for a family cabin getaway too!

Between fishes – our house on the lake in Finland
Our piece of land is located on Kaita Järvi– an about 8 km long and a few hundred meter wide lake – it is a small peninsula that looks to the south. That means: sun from morning to evening (if it shines). There right on the shore you find our log cabin, with sauna, bathroom, living room with open kitchen and two small bedrooms. A few meters next to it is a studio like guesthouse, the "Aita". It is also very cosy and comfortable, but provides no own bathroom. Village Savonranta is 5 km away.
