Peaceful forest cottage in the beautiful village of Pyhänkoski in Merijärvi. In the cottage all comforts and pets are welcome. The river Pyhäjoki flows in the immediate vicinity of the cottage. Pyhänkoski itself is already a place worth seeing with its beautiful sparkles. In the courtyard of the cottage there is a newly renovated and renewed sauna (11/2021) The sauna receives gentle steam and has space to wash the traditions of the elections (carrying water). Tenants also have two bicycles at their disposal. During the summer there is a summer kiosk in Pyhänkoski. Near the kiosk there is a cozy children's playground with trampolines. On the river bank you can find an idyllic hut where you can fry sausages and admire the scenery. Good recreational opportunities nearby in summer and winter. Winter: Skiing and snowshoeing can be reached directly from the cottage yard to the ice of Pyhäjoki and snowmobiling along the trail to the ski resort of Ristivuori. The ski slope of the Cross Mountain is a great place for children to learn the basics of downhill skiing. An equipment rental company is located next to the slope. Slope with one lift.
