             Wes004 - Moose Cottage
This traditional lakeside cabin enjoys beautiful views over Kulovesi Lake. The cabin has an open plan kitchen/dining area and lounge with a wood burning fireplace, sauna and shower room, one double bedroom and a second bedroom that has one single bed and a sofa bed for two people (if the sofa bed is opened, there is very little space for moving in the room).

There is a wooden pier and a rowing boat on the private lake shore 30 metres downhill from the cottage. The lake shore is accessed via a number of wooden steps through woodland.

The cabin surrounds are very peaceful and wildlife such as foxes, hares and pine martens can be spotted in the woods. Kulovesi Lake in front of the cabin has plenty of fish and fishing nets and rods can be borrowed from the cabin owners. Wild berries and mushrooms can be picked in the woods in late summer and autumn.  

In winter, Ellivuori Ski Resort is located just 6km away for downhill skiing, while cross-country skiing tracks start directly from the lake shore and run along the frozen lake and fields.
