Siisti mökki hyvällä sijainnilla. Miinusta siitä ettei sähkö/hybridiautoa voi ladata mökinpihassa.
Makuuhuoneen ilmanvaihto heikko.
Alakerran makuuhuoneen sängyt oli huonot.
Uusi siisti keittiö.

Rauhallinen paikka. Hyvä sijainti lähellä rinteitä, ei tarvi mennä autolla. Sauna tilat on max 2 hengelle kerrallaan.

Majoituksen taso ok, kuitenkin pettymys suhteessa korkeaan hintaan. Kalustus eri lähteistä kasattua, rikkinäistä, likaista. Ilmanvaihto surkea, ruoanlaiton käryt kaikki parvelle, joka ei seisomakorkuinen missään kohdin. Parvelle vievät portaat vaaralliset, ulko-oven lukko jumissa/ vaikea saada auki. Turvallisuusriski? Kävelymatka Masto-rinteiden hisseille, josta ehdottomasti plussaa. Hinta-laatusuhde pettymys, muuten ok.
Hyvä mökki mukavalla sijainnilla Itä-rukan puolella. Yleisilmeeltään siisti ja nykyaikainen. Koiran kanssa matkustavalle oikein sopiva kohde hyvien ulkoilumaastojen takia.
