  : We have enjoyed this lovely eco-friendly farm. It is a special place with special hosts, which were very friendly and helpful. The location was perfect for the Ukko-Koli hike and the farm self is located in the middle of the nature. The breakfast was very delicious and organic. The sauna should be amazing - but we didnt have time to used it.
  : The toilet is outside and is eco-friendly (composting) which is really great but needs some getting used to. There is no shower so if you want to clean yourself you have to used the sauna. As mentioned wifi signal wasnt good.

  : Kolin Keidas is a very different style of accommodation! Great location in the national park - its literally on the trails - and ten minutes walk to the main road, where theres a couple of food places, a pub, a supermarket etc.We stayed in the old building which has four rooms for use in summer. Two up and two down. The room was basic. One single bed and a bunk bed. A small dressing table, lamp, fan/heater and a plug socket. Thats it. Our room was up a very steep flight of stairs. This would definitely be an issue for some less mobile people. It was the only room with a window, which was great, except there was no blind or curtain, and it was midsummer! We had to cover the window as best we could with a sheet.The kitchen in the main building was ok for making simple food, but the fridge was packed, so not a place to arrive with lots of groceries.Breakfast was included in the rate. It was great. Perfect before a days hiking.The sauna was awesome. As other people have said, it really is the stand out feature of the property. We had a 45 minute session to ourselves.
  : Drawbacks:The mosquitoes, flies and other biting insects were a total pain. They really affected our enjoyment unfortunately.Wifi is poor - it only works in the main building, so of limited use to us.The bathroom situation isnt good - there are two compost toilets in a separate block for everyone to use. This is ok, but thats all there is. No bathroom or shower. There are bowls of water in the sauna for washing but it didnt seem appropriate to be using soap in there, and this was only in the evening. Nowhere to wash in the morning. And nowhere to brush teeth. I asked the owner and she told me to use the kitchen sink. This really didnt feel right when others were using it! Our stay would have been enhanced by some clearer instructions.Because of the propertys eco credentials, theres nowhere to wash clothes.For more than an overnight stay, these things would definitely become a problem.With a bit of thought and not very much work, these obstacles could be overcome then it really would be a great place to stay for more than a night. But for an overnight stay, it was fantastic!
