  Description

  I have a really peaceful and beautiful place to stay and work by a lake in East Finland, in Liperi.
  There is a lot different kind of outdoor work to help with: chop firewood, paint building, do small chores, maintain yard and plants and lakeshore.
  There is an old cottage from 1930’s where to lodge, but all the modern facilities available in other buildings: for example lovely modern sauna with bathroom. I live here with my tiny dog.
  
  Here is a possibility to use row boat and SUP-board, go for fishing, pick berries and mushrooms, hike etc.
