Apartment is very cold. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 5 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication Siisti mökki hyvällä sijainnilla. Miinusta siitä ettei sähkö/hybridiautoa voi ladata mökinpihassa. Makuuhuoneen ilmanvaihto heikko. Alakerran makuuhuoneen sängyt oli huonot. Uusi siisti keittiö. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marjo 28 Dec 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication Rauhallinen paikka.

Kalustus eri lähteistä kasattua, rikkinäistä, likaista. Ilmanvaihto surkea, ruoanlaiton käryt kaikki parvelle, joka ei seisomakorkuinen missään kohdin. Parvelle vievät portaat vaaralliset, ulko-oven lukko jumissa/ vaikea saada auki. Turvallisuusriski? Kävelymatka Masto-rinteiden hisseille, josta ehdottomasti plussaa. Hinta-laatusuhde pettymys, muuten ok. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Antti 21 Jul 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Mökki Itä-rukalla Hyvä mökki mukavalla sijainnilla Itä-rukan puolella. Yleisilmeeltään siisti ja nykyaikainen. Koiran kanssa matkustavalle oikein sopiva kohde hyvien ulkoilumaastojen takia. ##### Antti Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Marko 15 Dec 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication ##### Marko Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 23 Sept 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kirsi 12 Jul 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Kirsi Stayed 1 night in Jul 2019 ---
