Wonderful, fantastic, excellent
Thank you so much! We feel the same way. Thank you for your visit! We hope to see you again.
Very Interesting cultural informative tour. Hosts are very polite hospitable kind warm couple. The food was fantastic they try to do their best for guests . Every detail was taken into account. The car ride and the greetings was fantastic . The nature and lake was wonderful. Everything was very nice. and clean. The tour is underpriced for the emotions that we had gotten. Sauna and lake swimming was healthy and fresh.
Thank you so much! It was our pleasure to host you, and it's great to hear you enjoyed it. Thank you for you visit and for the fun and fantastic evening together! We hope to see you again one day.
Beautiful place, and a breathtaking lake scenery. We enjoyed the lake by a float with electric engine, and enjoyed snacks. Sauna was marvellous and went swimming for many times. Afterwards we were served with delicious Finnish food. Really enjoyed and want definitely to go back!
Thank you so much - great to hear you enjoyed the evening as much as we did! We look forward to seeing you here soon again! ❤️
Love it ❤️ In the sauna, you can enjoy an authentic Finnish sauna experience. The wood-burning stove gives soft, gentle steam, and the window offers a beautiful view to the lake. A refreshing swim in the lake completes the experience. Here, both mind and soul can truly rest. Tiia and Antti are both genuine friendly hosts, who can cook and make guests feel warmly welcomed. Love to go back soon!
Thank you so much for the lovely review! We truly enjoyed having you as our guests, and look forward to the next time, hopefully soon! ❤️
It was my first time in Finland and I have to admit that the experience was amazing. Tiia and her husband were extremely kind and servicial. coming from the tropic (Costa Rica) we have no idea about Finland culture and experience on Saunas and cold lake water but Tiia convinced me to try and it was so pleasant and such an experience getting into the lake at night after the sauna. The food was delicious (Wild Dear) with potatoes and a delicious salad with bread. All cooked in front of me. The sight seeing is espectacular, the lake is beautiful and every picture I took could be a postal ! The night before I arrive to this place there were boreal auroras (another amazing experience) that if you are lucky, you can see them from their place in front of the lake. I am looking forward to repeat the experience.
Thank you so much! 💙 We really enjoyed having you here as our guest and being able to share the sauna, dinner and stories with you. And we do admire your brave swim in the cold water - some true Viking spirit there! 😉 We hope to see you here again, maybe with your family, and try our best to arrange the Northern Lights for the next time you visit.
This place is beautiful and Tiia is wonderful host - warm, friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend.
Thank you so much for the recommendation! 💙 It was great to have you here, and we hope you will visit again! All the best!
We had truly amazing time with Tiia and Antti. The sauna is almost "on" the lake and we went back and forth swim in the lake and back to sauna. The whole evening was such enjoyable time.
Thanks so much! We really enjoyed having you here and look forward to the next time! 💙
My family and I had a wonderful afternoon/ evening with the lovely Tiia and Anti. Their hospitality was amazing! They showed us how to prepare reindeer on their outside grill (whilst our boys were entertained chasing the robot lawnmower!) and we enjoyed it with locally picked lingonberries. We had never eaten reindeer before - Delicious! After dinner we headed for the sauna. Our youngest son (6 years) didn’t fancy it, so they kindly set him up with a film on their projector (which he loved) whilst the rest of us enjoyed cool drinks, sauna, and jumping in the lake. It was a fabulous start to our Finnish holiday. Tiia and Anti were so lovely… really great to chat with about life in Finland… and so so hospitable. We couldn’t recommend it more ❤️
Thank you so much, Sarah! It was our pleasure to have you and family join us for dinner and sauna, and we look forward to hosting you again, hopefully soon! ❤️
Absolutely wonderful place! The incredibly friendly and welcoming hosts made our stay unforgettable. The food was truly delicious, and the lake scenery was breathtaking. As a bonus, we got to enjoy a delightful raft ride on the lake. This is an experience you simply can't find anywhere else!
Thank you so much! It was great to spend an evening together, and we look forward to hosting you again, hopefully soon! ❤️
Beautiful place, friendly people, delicious dinner. We felt warmly welcome! Thank you Tiia and Antti!
