Outdoors
The outdoor spaces of this villa are truly its crowning feature, offering a remarkable array of lakeside amenities set against the stunning natural landscape of Finland. Lake Avusjärvi lies approximately 100 metres from the property, stretching roughly 2 kilometres in length and 1 kilometre in width, with a shallow shoreline that begins with a sandy beach before transitioning to a muddy bottom further out. A private pier provides direct access to the water, and guests have exclusive use of a rowing boat and 4 sit-on-top kayaks, perfect for leisurely exploration of the lake. A yard sauna, built in 2021, is located 90 metres from the lake and sits beside the main building, offering a modern and convenient bathing option. On the shore itself, a separate barrel sauna with a wood-heated stove is available for use during the summer season, specifically from 1 May to 30 September. Please be aware that this shoreside barrel sauna has no running water, and water must be carried directly from the lake for use. A hot tub is also available on the beach and can be filled with lake water using a pump provided on site. The rental price includes access to the hot tub as well as firewood sourced from the barn. As the guest, you are responsible for filling, heating, emptying, and washing the hot tub, and you must commit to strictly following the instructions provided by the owner. During periods of frost, the hot tub requires special care, and it is important to note that the hot tub must be filled in 2 rounds to avoid depleting the well too quickly and to ensure sufficient water remains available for the shower, dishwasher, and other household needs. The hot tub is not available during the hardest winter frosts due to the risk of freezing.
Other Information
When planning your stay, it is important to be aware of several practical details that will help ensure a smooth and enjoyable visit. The hot tub is not available during winter frost periods, and during cooler seasons its use requires particular attention and adherence to the owner's guidelines. Guests are responsible for the full management of the hot tub, including filling it in 2 separate rounds to protect the well's water supply, retrieving firewood from the barn, heating the water, and thoroughly emptying and cleaning the tub after use. The barrel sauna on the shore is exclusively available during the summer period from 1 May to 30 September, and as it has no running water, all water for its use must be carried from the lake.
