The cabin offers a stunning river view, a traditional wood-burning sauna, and a year-round cold plunge pool "Avanto", where the water flows from a natural spring. Please note that the cabin does not have a shower or a separate bathroom; washing takes place in the traditional sauna, where you heat the water while heating the sauna.
