A private boat is also available for guests to explore the lake at their leisure. The cottage benefits from a spacious glazed terrace as well as an additional outdoor terrace, both of which provide ideal settings for outdoor dining, morning coffee, or unwinding in the fresh Finnish air while enjoying the peaceful lakeside scenery.
