The hostel is used by guests for family or holiday
celebrations, summer and winter holidays, or just for staying far from
the civilization noise. Sleeping in this wooden house is deep and quiet.
In summer morning birds start their signing, and on the attic a squirrel
family lives.
Guests can cook by themselves in the kitchen or it’s also possible to have cooking services from our experienced cooker.
The same about the sauna. For heating up the sauna we use a big woodstove. On the stove is a big
water pot for hot water and the chimney heats a water reservoir for the shower. Sauna is benevolent for body and soul, but not only when the
sauna is warm, also the process of heating up and preparation is nice to forget the daily businesses at home or work. That’s why many guest like
to help also to prepare the sauna.
Enjoy your second home on the Kola!
