Peaceful cabin

We loved this cabin! A short walk to the beach where there's a swimming dock, then back to the cabin to enjoy a sauna. It is a cozy, restful environment and Michael, the host went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed! We would love to stay there again!

And we loved hosting you! This our family heritage, which we can't use nearly enough.., being able to share it with other people is a blessing. A place of love should not be empty... I was also so impressed with how much you managed to get into your stay! The rubber boat, the e-bikes and everything.., despite inevitable technical challenges. It was such a pleasure hosting you, and welcome back!

Little Slice of Heaven

Our stay in Pargas was nothing short of amazing!! Such a cozy home with all the amenities you could possibly need. Short walk to a lovely beach with scenic views and walking trails. Our host Michael was very communicative and helpful with making our stay extra special! We stayed here as a second honeymoon and he went above and beyond to make it great! Hope to come back sometime soon!! Thanks again!

An amazing stay

Such an unusual find, a real home, not the ordinary anonymous tourist place. So much love poured into it. Stylish and spotlessly clean, comfortable beds, great thing you didnt have to plan anything, theres a supermartket (24/7) 5 minutes walkt away with everything you might need. Extremly well equiped kitchen, lots of activities around. We even went for a winter swim before the sauna. i wish we could have stayed longer, would love to come back. Thank you Michael for sharing this

Oh for some reason it's so rare that we get visitors from Stockholm, even though it's just across the water. One night at Viking or Silja Line, and then half an hour by car to the house, one hour if you go by bus. Where are you swedes?

Waldgrundstück mit Blockhütte am See

Wunderbare Lage mit super schönem Blick auf den See, sehr gemütlich, persönlich und privat eingerichtetes Haus, was große Gastfreundschaft und Vertrauen ausstrahlte. Haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt, und es hat an nichts gefehlt. Ausstattung umfangreich und alle „Verbrauchsmaterialien“ wie Zewa, Kerzen, Feuerholz, S pültaps und v.a.m. waren vorhanden. Haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und eine schöne Zeit im üppig bepflanzten Garten verbracht.

It's heartwarming to see that my sister's passion for the garden is appreciated by others, and not just by us. And thank you so much for your gardening tips, I have to start learning more about this word of gardening myself!

Gemütliches Blockhaus mit großem Garten

Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt in dem gemütlichen Blockhaus, in dem es an nichts gefehlt hat. Der Besitzer ist überaus fürsorglich und bemüht, dass die Gäste sich wohlfühlen und die Lage direkt am Wasser ist super. Sehr zu empfehlen!

Yes.., and we do love our little log cabin, and it's been such a pleasure to share it with other people. Actually it's forbidden nowadays to build log houses close to the sea in Finland. New housing rules and restrictions, from what I've understood. "They don't belong in the archipelago" according to new building standards. We choose to disagree.

Yes.., there's a lot of love put into our little house, since we go there ourselves. And it's a blessing to have guests like you and your wife being there. An empty house is a sad thing, it's nice sharing a place you love. Thanks for staying with us!

Wunderschönes Blockhaus mit perfekter Ausstattung

Wir haben im Mai 2023 eine ganze Woche im Hsus gewohnt. Alles war bestens vorbereitet. Die reichliche Ausstattung des Hauses ist nahrzu perfekt, die Nähe zum Wasser ebenso. Geschäfte zum Einkauf befinden sich in unmittelbarer Nähe, diese können zu Fuß oder mit den beiden E-Bikes vom Haus bequem erreicht werden. Der Kontakt zum netten Vermieter wurde auschließlich online gehalten, er war jederzeit erreichbar und stand für alle Fragen zu Verfügung. Insgesamt war es ein toller Aufenthalt, das Haus entspricht genau der Beschreibung im Internet und wird von uns uneingeschränkt weiter empfohlen.

Yep.., having a big shopping center with Lidl and a big 24h Supermarket within a 5 minutes walk from a house that is so peaceful and secluded in nature, I believe it's quite hard to find. Thank you for staying with us, and welcome back!

Erholung Pur!

Die Erholung begann schon bei der Anreise mit Finnlines (30 Stunden von Travemünde) erholt angekommen bei 8 Grad in Pargas ein kurzer Videocall per WhatsApp mit unserem netten und freundlichen Gastgeber für letzte Instruktionen (Heizung, Wasser und Besonderheiten) konnte der Urlaub beginnen...(kleines Manko es war nicht vorgeheizt) aber mit der Klimaanlage und dem Ofen wurde es schnell angenehm arm. Hausaustattung funktionell es fehlt an nichts alles sauber und gepflegt. Im Sommer vermutlich nicht nur von Kindern und Jugendlichen umlagert sondern auch von Mücken stark besiedelt. Für mich erste Wahl im Herbst/Winter (hatte Mitte / Ende Oktober auf ein wenig Winterlandschaft gehofft) ich gebe 11 von 12 Punkten. Liebe Grüße an die Gastfamilie aus Berlin

Oh.., we can't do anything horrible weather, and the summer mosquitoes are a part of nature in the North, but at least we are now able to turn on the heat in the house remotely before arrival. Thanks for staying with us!
