Idyllic summer cottage on the shore of Keurusselkä, close to the cultural treasures of Keuru and Mänttä. Nearby, there are amazing natural attractions, such as Kotiniemi nature trail and sandy roads for outdoor activities. The bright plot is located in a rural landscape near fields and a natural forest. You have access to a beach sauna, home kitchen, gas grill, rowboat, fishing license and dock. The cottage has a diverse selection of games for the whole family.

Guest access
Explore the surroundings of the cottage! Take a walk to the nearby cape, where you can enjoy the magnificent views. Search for geocaches or visit the village's boat dock. On Midsummer Eve, we burn a bonfire there and eat muurinpohjalaiset with the whole village. In June-August, you are welcome to play or just watch a volleyball game in the courtyard of the clubhouse along the village road on Thursdays at 6 pm.

Other things to note
Real Finnish traditional summer cottage. There is a shower in a sauna and a comfortable and natty composting outdoor toilet near the sauna. In the kitchen only cold water is available. Hot water to wash the dishes can be made by cettle.

Pihlaranta is available from late May to early September.

I live 0,5 km out of the cottage, so do not hesitate to ask help if needed.
