Very nice and affordable stay at this old wooden house that used to be a shop. FYI: If you book double room you share the bathroom, shower and kitchen with one other double room. It was just us this time but the other room is across the hall so I'd expect very little noise from there. Breakfest is self-help but plentifull. There is sauna available for extra fee. We did not try it this time because we were too tired but I dare to recommend it anyway. Overall definitely worth the money.

Erittäin tunnelmallinen vanhan ajan pirtti ja tilavat huoneet. Talvella pirtin uunia ja huoneiden kakluuneja lämmitettiin joten sisältä oli hyvä sulatella pakkaspäivän jälkeen. Huoneet on tilavat ja siistit. Keittiö hyvin varusteltu ruuanlaittoon. Yhteydenpito majoittajaan oli nopeaa ja vaivatonta, todella hyvä palvelu. Lämpimästi voi suositella tätä majoitusta!

Makuuhuoneesta ei saanut tuuletusikkunaa auki, oli pakko avata ovi yleisiin tiloihin
