CHOOSE YOUR OWN FAVORITE COTTAGE
Cottage guests have been coming to Rantala for more than 50 years. Currently, there are 9 different cabins for our guests’ enjoyment, all of which have their own personality and no similar cabin can be found. Among the cottagers, there are those who come to vacation in the same
“own” cottage year after year. On the other hand, some people always want to try a different cabin for a change. The atmosphere of the new villas is modern, some have centuries-old history in the form of ancient logs, while others are more traditional cottages, but equipped with amenities. The lonely have their own paradise island, where Takuu’s mind and body rest. So choose your favorite!
All our cottages are located on the shore of the clean Iso Paljo lake, rich in fish and birds. (Lake length 2.2 km, width 800 m). The lake is surrounded by a peaceful rural landscape, with varied open fields and mixed wooded and rolling forest areas.
Own yard, beach and rowing boat
All of our cottages are located beside a lake and have own private beach. Depending on the cottage, there is a 10-40m sandy beach with a dock and rowing boat. If needed we also borrow life jackets for both small and bigger guests. All cottages have their own yard, so you can enjoy sun and beautiful scenery, play games with family and dog or read a good book in the yard.
