Mökki oli sopiva kahdelle. Sauna erinomainen ja hyvät löylyt. Rauhallista.
− Rappuset yläkertaan osoittautuivat liian jyrkäksi. Onneksi alas sai vuoteen ja siinä nukuttiin.

Viihtyisä ja tunnelmallinen mökki. Hyvät vuoteet ja ihanan muhkeat tyynyt ja täkit. Ehdottomasti yöpyisin uudestaan!

Sauna ja pesutilat olivat siistit sekä hyvät löylyt. Keittiössä oli tarpeellinen. Kompakti asunto. Sijainti hyvä. Parkkipaikka lähellä asuntoa.
− Parvella oli tukahduttavan kuuma, jotta nukkuminen siellä olisi onnistunut. Alakerran sohva oli nukkumiseen jo parhaat päivänsä nähnyt ja valuimme molemmat jatkuvasti sohvan keskelle. Se oli kuitenkin parvea parempi vaihtoehto.

6.0
Sijainti on erinomainen, hyvin lähellä puistoa, jossa halusimme retkeillä. Itse mökki on mukava ja keittiö on kohtalaisen hyvin varusteltu. The location is excellent, very close to the park where we wanted to hike. The house itself is nice and the kitchen is reasonably equipped.
− Extreme lack of accessibility: access to the bedroom is via a ladder only. This is very dangerous, not suitable for older people, and wasn't mentioned anywhere in the description. Furthermore, basic amenities were missing – there was no shampoo or hygiene products, and we were provided with only two rolls of toilet paper. Bed linen is not included, and guests are expected to clean up after themselves. The previous guests clearly didn't clean, so we arrived at a dirty house. Additionally, the sauna didn't get hot enough. Erittäin huono esteettömyys: makuuhuoneeseen pääsee vain tikkaita pitkin. Tämä on vaarallista, ei sovi iäkkäille ihmisille, eikä tästä mainittu kuvauksessa sanallakaan. Lisäksi varustelu oli puutteellinen: ei shampoota tai perushygieniatuotteita, ja saimme vain kaksi rullaa vessapaperia. Hintaan ei sisälly liinavaatteita, ja vieraiden oletetaan siivoavan jälkensä. Edelliset vieraat eivät selvästikään olleet siivonneet, sillä saavuimme likaiseen mökkiin. Lisäksi sauna ei lämmennyt tarpeeksi.
