Polaria

Polaria is a spacious and comfortable holiday cottage for 4+4 guests, located in the idyllic countryside of Forssa, Southern Finland. The cottage has a lovely setting by a small swimming lake and extensive grounds. There is a cosy living room with a fireplace, a nice sofa, arm chairs, Smart TV and a beautiful dining table that seats 6 guests. A well equipped kitchen includes a fridge-freezer, electric oven and hobs, microwave oven, dishwasher and coffee maker. There are two bedrooms, one of which has a double bed, while the other has two single beds and a work desk. Wide wooden stairs lead from the living room up to a small sleeping loft, where four additional mattress beds are provided. The cottage also has a separate WC, bathroom with shower and washing machine, and a traditional wood heated sauna. A baby bed and high chair are available by prior request.  

There is a lovely terrace outside with a dining set for 6 guests. The cottage grounds include a traditional wood grill, garden swings and a pretty barbecue hut with a gas grill. There is a private pier by the lake shore and guests are invited to swim in the clean water on warm summer days. The water in the lake comes from a spring, so it is cleaner than in most lakes. The water is already deep at the end of the pier, but the water at the lake shore is shallow enough for children of approximately 5 years and older. If a portable hot tub is brought to the cottage, the owner charges 40 euros for water and logs. A wood store and a small rowing boat are in shared use with the neighbouring cabin (Pinea). Both cottages, however, have their own grounds, own pier and own privacy. In winter, ice-swimming is possible by prior request. There are many nature trails, cycling paths and good areas for berry and mushroom picking nearby. Bicycles can be borrowed from the cottage owner free of charge. Nearby Koijärvi nature reserve has a bird tower and offers opportunities for walking and frying sausages on a camp fire. Several interesting day trip destinations are also nearby, e.g. medieval Häme castle in Hämeenlinna, Torronsuo and Liesjärvi national parks, Lempäälä Ideapark and Särkänniemi amusement park in Tampere.
