Mäkelän Lomatuvat Cottages

Accommodation and program services at Lake Mäkelänjärvi

Mäkelän Lomatuvat offers well-equipped cottages of various sizes on the lakeshore. All cottages have electricity, are suitable for winter use, and include running hot and cold water. During summer, each cottage also has its own rowing boat. Pets are welcome in the cottages.

It is also possible to rent two larger buildings near the farmyard, which serve as bed and breakfast accommodations for farm tourism. The bed and breakfast option includes accommodation, bed linen and towels, and breakfast. Half board includes breakfast and either dinner on the day of arrival or lunch on the day of departure.

Guests have the opportunity to meet the farm animals with guidance from the hosts! The farm is home mainly to cows and calves, as well as some pets — cats and a dog named Vili.

Our facilities are also ideal for meetings, team-building days, staff wellness and recreational days, or relaxing sauna evenings. On a guided forest walk along the “Green Gold Trail”, you’ll learn fascinating facts about the forest and nature. We also offer a variety of meal services for groups in the log house of the main building.

Activities and experiences

In addition to accommodation, we offer a variety of activities and experiences for both everyday occasions and special celebrations. Contact us, and let’s plan a program that suits your group’s needs!

Conference sauna

A large meeting sauna is available for reservation — perfect for groups of co-workers or friends. The sauna building features a cozy lounge with a fireplace, a kitchenette, microwave, separate fridge, and coffee-making facilities. There are also changing and shower rooms as well as two toilets. The meeting sauna includes a large terrace with outdoor furniture and, of course, a gas grill. There is also a large covered barbecue area in the yard. A movable hot tub can be rented for the sauna upon request.

This well-equipped and beautifully decorated meeting sauna is ideal for all kinds of gatherings! Evening snacks can be ordered to the lounge area. Please note that the premises do not have a liquor license.

In cooperation with local entrepreneurs, wellness treatments or product demonstrations can also be arranged at the sauna and lounge area.

Hot tub

A movable hot tub is available for booking throughout the year. It can be reserved for use at the cottages or the meeting sauna. Enjoy a relaxing bath and cozy atmosphere — perfect for both summer and winter evenings!

Meal services

We provide meals for groups by request.

Meeting services

Mäkelän Lomatuvat offers meeting facilities for groups of 10 to 25 people. Smaller meetings can be held at the Mäkitupa cottage, while the main building’s large room is suitable for bigger groups.

Available meeting equipment includes a flat-screen TV, flip chart, and CD player. Free Wi-Fi is available at the meeting sauna. A flat-screen TV is provided in both the main building and the meeting sauna.

Our meeting package includes morning coffee, lunch, and afternoon coffee. The afternoon coffee can also be brewed over an open fire in a traditional soot pot at the log shelter on Laavumäki hill — a short hike away — where you can enjoy the peace and quiet of nature.

Guided forest tour

The guided forest walk “On the Trails of Green Gold” takes approximately 2–4 hours. During the walk, you’ll learn about the management of commercial forests, forest development, and the many ways forests can be used sustainably.

At the end of the hike, guests enjoy traditional campfire-brewed coffee in the warm glow of the fire at a cozy log shelter.

The walk can also be arranged as a shorter version, a so-called “mini hike” of about 500 meters, ending with the same authentic campfire coffee experience.

Bicycles are available for rent, as well as snowshoes and skis during the winter season.

The linen rental includes a pillowcase, fitted sheet, duvet cover, hand towel, and bath towel.
