The house has every thing you need, even small details. Owner tried his best to help us with different kind of requests. Location is excellent and private. House is clean. A lot of beautiful country views to visit.

Owner care about your stay

We had  an amaizing two week vacation in Valmuska cottage. This is modern house in the middle of forest next to lake. In the cottage you have all necessary equipment and even biliard!
This is very quiet place with a lot of mushrooms and good fishing from the boat ( with electrical motor).
The owners of the hous Esko and Leena are very pleasant and honest people.
Esko gave us a good recomandation about the area.
Highly  recommanded!

Vacation in Valmuska cottage

We stayed in Hapero Cottage (6 people and 2 additional joined in the middle). Everything was great. We enjoined the cottage,  lake-side sauna , motorboat, bikes, fishing, etc..
Every bedroom has separate bathroom + additional bathroom close to electrical sauna and toilet close to dining room. 
Kitchen is well equipped. 
Recommended for family or company of friends.

Hapero Cottage was perfect place for vacation in Finland

The villa is very spacious, clean , modern and has everything you can think of (Sauna, bikes, ping-pong table, TV, boat etc.). The photos and youtube movie are accurate! The place is quiet. The owners are very friendly. We met them as we arrived and got all the special instructions about the villa (which is Ecological). We also got travel tips and maps which was great! The place is close to a supermarket but very isolated (must have a car). We had a very good time there. A great place to relax, and spend time with the family. We really recommend this Villa (and area).

Great Villa in Finland (Valmuska)

Everything was perfect and my favourite things were:

- Great sauna with possibility to go and have break outside (you should try to roll in snow and go back to sauna after it, it really wakes your whole body!)
- Possibility to rent pool table (it was really fun even I need some more practice to win)
- Really good floor plan where everyone can be together even they focus on different activities and when it's time to go to bed you can enjoy silence
- Superb hosts who organized everything better than I expected!

Thank you, can't wait to come back!

Valmuska was a perfect place to relax and spend time with family

The cottage is just great. Modern. Clean. Perfectly equipped. Ecological. Beyond expectations.
It is amazing that even small things like variety of glasses, are addressed.
Everything is functional.
Will return.

Just perfect

This is a difficult review to write. The cottage is great, in a beautiful spot, well equipped, a sauna house with wood oven at a pristine lake. However, there are a few things the owner won't tell you on the website. 
The minor aspect is the advertised private beach in addition to the jetty. One can see that it used to be there, but in cannot be used anymore as the path is overgrown with shrubs and the beach is overgrown with reeds. 
The more critical aspect is that the house has been built as a passive house. In principle, this would commendable and should be praised, BUT it has been implemented in a way that radically effects the comfort of your stay. Imagine you have to sleep at 22°C or warmer even when the outside temperatures are well below 15°C because you can't open windows!!! And because the ventilation system can't handle heat generated by the plain presence of the guests' bodies. The approach offered by the owner was to use the air condition in the living room to bring down the temperature there below 18°C and then cool the bedrooms with a ventilator blowing air from the living room in one of the bedrooms at a time. Of course this means all doors have to be open and the living room is pretty darn cold. This is neither practical nor energy efficient. In any case, you'll have to sleep at 22 to 24°C which impairs the nightly human recovery mechanisms so that the whole point of having a relaxing vacation in a nice place becomes somewhat futile. 
Imagine you want to enjoy the beautiful wood stove in the living room. This will heat up the living room quickly, but you'll need the AC to bring temperatures down when you want to go to bed. You could open the doors, but that aggravates the problem with the bedrooms as the central ventilation shuts down immediately when one or more doors are open, so the temperature in the bedrooms will rise and air quality deteriorates.
Our experience with comparable high quality pricy cabins is that owners tend to be generous when a small items breaks. Not the Valkonen's. We broke a coffee filter holder of an 15+ years old coffee machine, worth 16€. They asked for 30€ to replace it. Nevermind we paid 2815€ for a one week stay.
Overall, the experience has been mixed. A lovely house with major flaws and an unexpected lack of generosity.
