REVIEWS
What our Guests say about their stay:
“We were looking for a short week-long trip close to a lake and not too far from Helsinki. The cottage we rented from Ukonhonka exceeded our expectations, and we were able to relax completely.
The wonderful location by the lake offered so incredible views (both in the morning and evening!) and every day we took the opportunity to walk in the forest.
The private sauna and beach was a fantastic feature and there was a modern BBQ on the terrace. We appreciated the warm welcome of the owner. Next time, we will definitely stay longer!”

“We spent two incredible weeks at the Etelä-Kalaton cottage and couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay.
The environment around the cottage and the private forest lake was truly magical, and the cottage was well equipped with everything we needed. Being able to swim directly in a private forest lake after using the lakeside sauna was a very special experience that we will never forget.
We also enjoyed exploring the surroundings, and the kids loved the blueberry-picking sessions in the forest. Big thank you to Ukonhonka for our pleasant stay!”
