Water is supplied directly from a natural spring on the property, offering a truly authentic connection to the Finnish landscape.

Outdoors

The outdoor setting of this log house is nothing short of extraordinary, with the property enjoying direct access to pond Pohjaslampi in its entirely natural state, featuring a hard sand bottom that makes it ideal for swimming and wading. A private pier extends over the water, and guests have exclusive use of their own boat, making it easy to explore the pond at leisure or simply drift and enjoy the surrounding wilderness in peaceful solitude. Complementing the main property, a separate wood-heated sauna sits right by the pond's edge, offering a traditional Finnish sauna experience in an idyllic setting. Adjoining the sauna is a dressing room complete with a fireplace and a double sofa bed, providing a cosy and atmospheric space to relax after bathing, whether during the long summer evenings or the crisp winter nights.

The water has been examined and is confirmed safe to drink, though guests who prefer are welcome to bring their own drinking water for personal use.
