Stay in Lalla’s cottage by the lake

Lalla’s cottage and its enclosure accommodates the whole family. The cottage has a double bed and a sofa bed, dining area, kitchenette and lounge area. In Maggan’s enclosure there are bunk beds. Here you have the whole bay to yourselves – relax and enjoy the tranquillity. You have sun all day on the large terrace with both dining area, lounge area and beautiful views of the lake. On the lawn there is plenty of space to play kubb, croquet or mega-yatzy available on site to borrow. There is also a swing position for children.

Sauna and the Tornedalians culture 

Of course, you will find a sauna on the plot. Saunas are a part of every Tornedalians DNA and they have bathed since the beginning of time. Fire with birch wood, pour water on the hot stone and relax in the steam. Take a bath and enjoy the warmth. You don`t need any running water here. You get hot water from the same energy that heats the  sauna. Mix it with the cold water to your desired temperature. Finish by poring the water over your body and feel clean from inside out.

If you feel like taking a swim, take a dip in the lake from the designated spot. There are towels and water to use during your visit.

Did you know that the Nomadic people of Persia, the ancient greeks and Romans and even our Swedish Vikings, have all bathed in saunas.

The boat

If you want, take a rowing trip on the lake. Take the chance to fish, fishing equipment is available to borrow and if you get a bite, you can grill the fish over an open fire at the fire site. Rumour has it that there should be both perch and pike in the water. Goody goody!

 

Cook dinner yourself 

If the fish do not bite and you must cook on your own, you can either use the gas stove in the cabin, barbecue on the patio or maybe have a sausage by the fire. In the refrigerator  you can keep all the food you need for your visit.

Ecological toilet and solar cells

In a separate building there is a Pacto-toilet. It´s an ecological toilet system without electricity and water. Like an outdoors, but fresher and without unpleasant smells. Do you prefer outdoors after all? There is also, in other words, no risk of a queue to the toilet.

There are towels and water to use during visit.

Thanks to solar panels on the cabin, there is lighting and power that allows you to charge your phone and iPad effortlessly. The cottage lacks running water, but the farm family make sure there is sufficient water for you during your stay.
