It is a very quiet location. Nice and clean country house with everything you need to have a great time (boat, grill). There is a very nice sauna right on the lake shore. If you value peace and quiet, this is a good choice.

I visited Puumala several times. Ukonhonka Apartment is the best place to stay in Puumala. Very clean and beautiful apartment with all equipment you need for the vacation. The view from the apartment is just unbelievable. I really enjoyed sitting in the garden. It takes 5 minutes to get to the shop and market. The owner of apartments is fantastic person, very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!

One of the most unique places on this planet. A completely private cottage and lake free of any neighbors. Hidden beautifully between ridges. Everything about this place was magical. When looking for serenity, privacy, quiet and peace this must be one of the few places that this planet has to offer. Highly recommended. This is best for when wanting to disconnect from the world and connect to the people you travel with. It’s one of the most authentic Finnish cottages. If you don’t like an outhouse ecotoilet, no running water (clean yourself and the dishes in the sauna), and no tv, then this is not for you. If you love bbqing, sauna, slow-life, walks, staring at a lake, rowing and fishing then this is amazing.

The house was very clean, well-equipped and had a great location which made my stay very relaxing and comfortable. The host was also very helpful and gave me good tips about local restaurants. Thank you!
