We were in February 2019. We lived for a week.
Alexander is sociable, friendly. Upon check-in, he explained everything, answered all questions. He reacts to problems and arrives quickly (we lost the light in one room).
The house was cleaned quite well. A significant advantage was the availability of a washing machine. The owner provides tablets for the dishwasher (we had 7 pieces).
Next to the ski slope there are two slides (one even with lighting) for sledding, ice skating, etc. There were more Russians in the cabins than Finns. Plus, for a child who quickly found a pair of peers for skating and other games together. Thanks to Alexander, he provides ice cream for free.
We came to cross-country skiing with an 11-year-old child who started skiing for the first time. The place fits perfectly. The ski run is 50 m from the cabins. It goes one way through the forest. In the other direction, across the lake (the ski track is laid on ice), you can ski to the trails in the village (including the illuminated one). There are a sufficient number of different slides and flat areas. A lighted track is best maintained.
There is a Pyaterochka type store in the village, the assortment is a little poorer, but everything you need is there. There is a cafe nearby, where a buffet lunch on weekdays is 9.7 eur for adults, 5 eur for children. Delicious. The hostess speaks Russian.
· -Upon arrival, we saw the "reception" sign. We drove up to the administrative house, which had signs "Rental", "Cafe", but there was no sign "reception". It is somewhat confusing, apparently it is necessary to call the owner Alexander.
- The ski area near the cabins is being renovated by a local school. Ratrak arrived only on the day of departure. All week this ski track was in a below average condition (on the day of arrival there was a strong wind, which poured branches and needles on the ski track).
-We lived in a house divided into two halves (paritalo). A significant drawback is the wall in the bedroom. There is no sound insulation at all. When you go to bed, it seems that there is no wall at all. You can hear the neighbors coughing, snoring, etc. And the impression is that they are not behind the wall, but next to it. Upon arrival, the first day we were unlucky with our neighbors. We heard all the quiet sounds (especially at night), not to mention the loud music. It was lucky that a very quiet family came by later. I would not rent such a house again. Perhaps this explains its low price.
- Bad Internet connection. For 7 days, everything flew perfectly in the first two days and the last. The Internet was terrible for 4 days. He was tearing up every two or three minutes or was absent altogether.
