“Our stay at Magical Pond was really great. We were surprised how remote it actually is – we’re talking proper Finnish forest, not just a glimpse of nature.
We had this small, clean igloo with a direct view of the lake, which was perfect. There was this lovely woman running the place who was incredibly kind and even brought breakfast to our room.”
