Here is our foreign friends' description of the cottage:
This off-the-grid log house is beautifully situated on the brink of the White lake in the deep Finish forest. Come here to spend time in nature, listen to the quitteness of the forest and experience the wonders of the Finish summer. You can spend your days picking berries and mushrooms, you can take the small boat out and catch fish and prepare them over a bonfire. At night you can leave the sauna and cool down in the lake. And perhaps you will stay up late to see the (almost) midnight sun. The house has no neighbours and out here you only hear the sounds of nature. The area hosts a variety of wild animals; wolfs, moose, wolverines, beavers and birds. The town of Outokumpu is 10 kilometers away. This is where you go to visit the old copper mine or get supplies.
The house is without electricity, running water and with a compost toilet, which allows you to enjoy a sustainable vaccination in accordance with a less-is-more philosophy. Välkommen!
