1. Reached By an Electric Motor Boat
When you reach the small harbor – where you’ll find free parking – you’ll take a boat to the island.
It takes about 10 to 15 minutes to reach it from the mainland.
And if you’re worried about the size of the host’s boat because of your luggage, you can rent a bigger one on the spot.
2. Perfect Lakeside Vacation
Aside from the gorgeous views and the absolute privacy that the villa grants its guests, there’s also the vast lake – the largest one in southern Finland.
It’s safe to swim in, and even the drinking water for the villa is being resourced from the lake and purified.
It’s safe to drink, though the host also provides bottled water just in case.
3. Brand New Villa
The villa itself boasts a modern design, and yet it blends in wonderfully with the surrounding nature.
The island may be considered a private backyard that the guests are welcome to explore.
At the lakeside, you’ll find the Finnish classic – a sauna with a wood-burning stove. Of course, the host prepares enough firewood for the guests ahead of time.
The guests get to experience the famous ‘swim and sauna’ combination, where you swim in cold water and then move on to the hot sauna.
4. The Accommodation
An ideal number of guests would be 6, according to the superhost.
There’s a master bedroom, a loft bedroom, and a sofa bed in the living room. There’s also a double bed in the sauna cabin, where an extra four guests could sleep.
However, there is only one bathroom, so I personally wouldn’t recommend such a large group.
Other than this, the villa is equipped with every amenity you may need for a comfortable stay.
Keep in mind that the island isn’t meant for parties, as the noise travels far on the lake. There would likely be complaints.
5. Kitchen
The kitchen, much like the rest of the interior is designed in the Scandinavian style.
It’s contemporary and practical and represents a nice balance between the modern and the rustic.
There’s a large fridge, a stove with an oven, a dishwasher, and a microwave – pretty much everything that you have in your home’s kitchen.
6. Bedrooms
In the picture, you may see the aforementioned loft bedroom.
It supports the color scheme that’s present in the rest of the interior, and the same, Scandinavian style.
The wooden walls and floors and the wicker chests make for a perfect contrast against the monochrome bed linen.
7. Living Room
The living room contains a bunch of traffic space, a large dining table, and an incredible view.
If you’re visiting when it’s too cold, you may as well enjoy the lake from the comfort of the villa with fire popping nearby.
When it comes to the entertainment, you’ll have to bring your own, but the villa does have a stable wifi connection.
Whether you need a dedicated workspace or would just like to unwind to a nice movie, it’s got you covered.
