In this place you have all for a perfect Finnish holidays: well-equipped cottage, sauna, lake, boat, barbecue... This was the second year we booked it since we knew it already.

Wonderful location. Everything was perfect. Even the lake water temperature was not so cold. For two days we enjoyed the sauna, the lake, the boat, the silence, the landscape... The house is functional and has good privacy. Mrs. Marketta is a very kind host. Good value for money.

In the evening, mosquitos dominate the scene. One must know and be prepared for that.

Quietness

We loved everything: the location by a lake, boat that we used to go around the lake, barbeque and terrace, well-equipped kitchen, going swimming from sauna...

The previous guests had not made complete cleaning but it didn't affect the comfort level.

Mäntylä cottage is suitable for longer visit, we stayed there four nights. We enjoyed sunny days, sauna and swimming. The centre of Juankoski is a 11 km drive away. We also visited Pisa Nature Preserve Park and Tahko.

There were seagulls at the rocky island nearby. Bit annoying, because their sound is not what I consider as a calming sound. Don't know if they are there only during the nesting time and after that fly away.
