Activities at Ylä-Tuuhonen Farm
Our beach is located approximately 400 metres away from the farm courtyard, and it is naturally available for our guests to use for refreshing dips. We heat the lakeside saunas as agreed upon, and the shore is only accessible to bathers during the sauna times.
When you want to get to know the stunning scenery of Lake Tarjanne, you can find a rowing boat and a wide canoe from the shore that are at your disposal. If you want to rent the rowing boat or canoe for the entire day, we charge a small extra fee. You can find life jackets from the woodshed close to the sandy beach.
In the winter, when the weather is nice, the farm has a few traditional kicksleds available for you to use.
"This place is a gem, hidden between forest and lakes. The perfect place to enjoy the nature of the region. We enjoyed the cozy warmth of the rooms and the way you made us feel at home and welcome with a friendly smile and delicious honest food. This is what we needed!"
