The separate sauna building is complemented by a large covered and partially glazed terrace, creating a versatile outdoor living space that can be enjoyed in various weather conditions. The covered porch of the main cabin, fitted with a gas grill, provides a welcoming setting for al fresco meals and leisurely evenings in the open air.
