The farm is located within walking distance of the cottage, making it easy for guests to get acquainted with the everyday life of the farm or just drop in for a chat. The comfortable cottage is ideal for both families with children and older holidaymakers. Electric bikes and sup boards for rent. Rantala Farm cultivates cereals and caraway seeds, some of the fields being scenic rather than productive. Forestry being important to the farmer, there are plenty of opportunities for guests to roam the forests or make use of the local logging roads or trails for walks and backpacking. Wild berries and mushrooms can be freely gathered in the forest and the Rantala area is rich in this natural produce. There is a village society tepee on the farm’s land where guests are free to go to roast sausages or brew coffee over an open fire. The Vuorenkylä nature trail with its splendid scenery is also well worth a visit! In winter there are 2-8 km long maintained ski trails nearby. At Purnu you can experience the exhilarating speed of downhill skiing. It is also easy to reach the national snowmobile trail network from the cottage. Kytöranta acquired its name due to its association with kytövuori hill and kytösuo mire, where land (so-called “kytö”) used to be burned over for cultivation purposes. The sun shines on Kytöranta’s terrace almost all day round. The cottage has a garden swing; the terrace has a table and a set of chairs, as well as a kettle grill for barbecues. Using the rowing boat, guests can fish for perch near the small island, then roast the catch on the grill on the shore. Right next to the cottage there is excellent berry and mushroom picking terrain, which is also ideal for rambling in general. Come and enjoy the heat in a cottage sauna with a traditional wood-burning stove. We at Rantala Farm want you to enjoy your holiday and we are ready and willing to assist you to achieve this.
