"We stayed here for three nights, and it was absolutely fantastic and worth every penny. The location in the national park is stunning, the staff were warm and welcoming, the food was excellent, and the views were simply breathtaking. Everything made for a truly memorable stay. The only small suggestion for improvement would be the scrambled eggs at breakfast. It would have been even better if they were made with fresh eggs instead of powdered eggs. We would highly recommend this place and...

"I was met by the owner Passi who was waiting for me. I had booked into one of the apartments but wes told that I was staying in one of the cottages by the lake. Passi took me to the cottage which has its own wood burning sauna and stunning views looking out to Lake Orivesi. It was really peaceful and it has its own private beach and a rowing boat plus a swing which I must admit I spent quite a bit of time on there. The centre of Kitee is about 20 minutes away in a car so if like me you do not...

The hotel has had a revamp since I last stayed there. Parking is limited behind the hotel but you can park on street after 6pm and before 8am so this wasn't an issue for me. Rooms are clean and good size. Self Service Breakfast is served in lower level restaurant and was ideal and catered for ceoliacs. Its central location has one downside which is the noise at night. Other than that I had a good stay and will return again for my next visit.
