The cottage is a guest house in the same area as the main house. It has its own access from the side and all amenities needed for a short stay! Everything was super clean and cottage was cozy. The lovely couple who hosted are super nice and told us thorough instructions for the house as well as provided recommendations for the area :) Would definitely stay again!

Sankivillat was very clean spotless new compact property, despite being small, very well equipped. Nice nature location, peaceful neighborhood

Oh man, I really don't know where to start. Within the two nights of our stay, so many incredible things happened! First of all, Jori, one of the hosts, made the (very exhausting and hour-long) effort to open up an icehole on the frozen lake for us so that we can use it after the sauna. This was the first time we tried a sauna-icehole combination (with -18 degrees outside) and this experience definitely was one of the highlights of our trip! Then, we got stuck in the snow with our rental car and in order to help us, Matleena, the other host, actually called her father who pulled the car out of the snow with a kind of mini truck. To top it all off, we saw Northern Lights for the first time in our lives at the lakehouse! Not only was it incredibly fascinating and beautiful, it was also really nice to watch even out in the cold because we knew we could warm ourselves up in the sauna afterwards. Matleena's sister even called her to tell us that the Northern Lights are visible right now! To sum it up, not only is the lakehouse worth thousands of articles in interior design magazines, also the sauna is beautiful and definitely worth booking, even without icehole. ;) Before booking, I was a bit worried that the vicinity to the hosts (Matleena and Jori live at the same ground in the house you can see in some of the photos) might be strange because I'm normally the kind of tourist that prefers anonymity, but the experience only turned to the amazing one we had because of them living so close. After a while, it more felt like having booked an airbnb or even like visiting friends than being normal, anonymous tourists. Jori and Matleena, thanks so much for everything you did for us!
