The charming Mansikka Cottage (Finnish for strawberry) was built in 1999, the same year the surrounding fields were used to grow organically cultivated strawberries – making the name an easy choice. Mansikka perfectly combines the warmth of traditional Finnish log construction with the comforts of modern living, making it ideal for couples or small families of up to four people.
Inside, you’ll find a cozy living room with a fireplace, a fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher, and a bedroom featuring a queen-size bed with a single upper bunk. A twin sofa bed in the living area provides additional sleeping space. The wood-heated sauna with a shower offers a soft, authentic heat – a truly Finnish experience.
Just 20 meters from the lakeshore, the water is shallow and child-friendly, with a private jetty, grill, and rowing boat available for guests. For a touch of luxury, there’s also a…

The fishing area
The water, fishing and key local conditions at a glance.
The water
Lake Näsijärvi is an impressive, approximately 40 km long and narrow lake, with depths reaching up to 60 m. Right in front of the cottage, you’ll find shallow bays, reed zones, and shores rich in water lilies - perfect for relaxing by the water. The bay at the cottage has a depth of around 3 m at the outer edge and about 10 m in the middle. The water has a natural brownish color and features numerous varied drop-offs between 6 and 10 m, which are especially popular with zander anglers.
