Outdoors

The outdoor spaces of this property are defined by their direct relationship with the pristine Lake Rautavesi, located just 30 m from the cottage. The lake stretches an impressive 10 km in length and 800 m in width, featuring a shallow depth and a hard clay bottom that makes it particularly safe and enjoyable for a wide range of water activities. A private boat and canoe are available for guests to explore the lake at their leisure. The cottage pier, which was fully renovated in summer 2025, extends 10 m into the lake and provides an ideal spot for relaxing, fishing, or embarking on aquatic adventures. Along the shoreline, a sandy beach suitable for children has been mechanically created, offering a safe and pleasant area for younger guests to play and swim. A movable hot tub accommodating up to 6 persons is available for rent and can be brought directly to the cottage yard, providing a wonderfully relaxing outdoor feature. As this hot tub is shared across several cottages, availability must be confirmed in advance with the supplier, whose contact information will be provided in the booking confirmation.
