Villa

This atmospheric log house, built in the 1960s, offers breathtaking lake views over Hummonselkä from both the living room and the front terrace. The terrace is just a few meters from a private sandy beach.

The main building features:

A bedroom, kitchen, living room, fireplace, toilet, and a wood-heated sauna.
The bedroom has a 140 cm wide double bed, while the living room includes two fold-out sofa beds.
A newly renovated kitchen equipped for 6–10 people, featuring an induction stove, dishwasher, microwave, and fridge-freezer.
Running water in the main house.
A wood-burning sauna stove, hand-held shower, and a small sink in the toilet.

Sauna cottage

is a charming little building with bucket water. It has a wood-burning sauna, a wardrobe in the hallway, a small fireplace, a tiny kitchenette, 2 bunk beds, and electricity. There are two bunk beds side by side, the lower bed can accommodate two people and the upper bed one, making a total of six sleeping places.

Linen

Linen is mandatory. You can bring your linen or rent it from us. The linen package includes a sheet, duvet cover, pillowcase, bath towel, and hand towel. The 1 linen is washed in a professional laundry, which follows a high standard of hygiene.

Outdoor Kitchen

A duckboard has been built from the villa house to the outdoor kitchen. It is a sheltered space with a dining area and space for preparing food. There is a wood-burning stove and two mangals. A mangal is a Russian shashlik grill for grilling skewers. You can burn wood or charcoal in a mangal.

Private beaches

There are three different beaches on our cape. One beach has a small pier and a rowing boat. The beach opens onto Mäntylahti, which has fine, white sand and as a child-friendly beach, deepens slowly. There is a fish handling place near this beach. The second beach is in front of the sauna cottage. The beach has round stones and deepens a little faster than the beach on the Mäntylahti side. We recommend swimming shoes. The third beach is in front of the villa. It is a truly wonderful sandy beach with very few stones. The beach opens onto Puruvesi's Hummonselkä.

Puruvesi

Puruvesi is one of the clearest lakes in Finland. Its water quality is tested annually and has been found to meet the quality requirements for well water. When the waters start to cool after summer, the visibility can be over 10 meters. To protect the uniqueness of Puruvesi, an association called ProPuruvesi has been established.

Metsäinen piha, jossa on isoja, vanhoja rodoja, muuten kunttamainen pohja. Autoilla pääsee ihan päärakennuksen ja saunamökin viereen. Runsaasti parkkitilaa. Niemi, josta rantoja on kolmeen eri ilmansuuntiin. Naapureita on lähistöllä, mutta ei näköpiirissä.

Shore

Lake

Shore description

Omat yksityisrannat Yhdellä rannalla on pieni laituri ja soutuvene. Ranta aukeaa Mäntylahteen, joka hienoa, valkoista hiekkaa ja lapsiystävällisenä rantana syvenee hitaasti. Kalankäsittelypaikka on lähellä tätä rantaa. Toinen ranta on saunamökin edessä vain muutaman metrin päässä saunamökin terassilta. Rannassa on pyöreää kiveä ja se syvenee hieman nopeammin kuin Mäntylahden puoleinen ranta. Suosittelemme uimatossuja. Kolmas ranta on päärakennuksen edessä. Se on aivan upea hiekkaranta, jossa kiviä on todella vähän. Valkoista, pehmeää hiekkaa. Ranta aukeaa Puruveden Hummonselälle
