An acre of manicured lawns, private sandy beach, 2 piers (with lounge area) for relaxing and/or docking boats, a floating raft and A HUGE WATER TRAMPOLINE (great for all ages) for guests private use. Lounging on the pier, guests can enjoy the fun 'wake boarding show' that goes by. At the beach, a boat house with living room and extra bedroom/changing room, with stereos, refrigerator and comfortable lounge area for waterside relaxing. Beach side fire pit with built around seating, great for night time family get together with s'mores. Outdoor dining areas both by the beach as well as up on the deck with view all around. Great gourmet gas grill, lounge area and hammock on the deck. Night time star gazing at its best. Swings are hung from the big old maple and elm trees for kids enjoyment. Beautiful scenery. Tranquility. A happy place

SCANDINAVIAN COTTAGE: Huvila Finlandia is a charming, Scandinavian style lake cottage, providing all the necessities for a relaxing getaway. There is a fireplace and a wood burning stove in the house, for cozy evenings. Kitchen is fully equipped for the most serious of a cook and ready for family dinner parties.

The 4th of July fireworks on this lake are impressive, the wild Powers Lake Yacht Club's Venetian Carnival is a must see (pontoon boats dressed up, parading around the lake competing for a winner), February ice-fishing derby and many other activities for kids and grown ups, incl sailing school, regattas, dinner parties, ladies tennis.

Great family trip

Brian & Annie Glen Ellyn, IL
Review Submitted: September 9, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
We'd strongly suggest this well kept home to anyone considering a summer retreat with their family. We were in charge of selecting a place for two other families to join us and thus the selection needed to live up to its biling. When the other families saw the home, boat house, piers and water trampoiine we knew we had hit a home run by the expressions on their faces. The main living area is large enough for hanging around the house however the deck, fire pit and gas grill were more to our liking each evening. If you have a boat or jet skis you'll appreciate the option of two piers secluded in the bay. We plan on visiting again in 2010... it's that good.

Earl and Maureen Aurora, Il
Review Submitted: September 4, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
We are a family of 7 adults, 2 toddlers, and 6 week-old twins that absolutely loved staying at your lakehouse! The sleeping arrangements were perfect for us. The kitchen was great, with plenty of dishes. Having a crib was so helpful for the toddler that used it, and there was plenty of seating space for all. The toys and books were so nice for the kids! We had one day that some extra family members came up, and they really enjoyed it. The deck was great, especially when we had the visitors there, and all the seating down by the lake worked out great.
We set up a portable crib in the boathouse for the twins to use during the day, so Mom and Dad could be down where all the action was during the day, and have the babies nearby. You have a great dock that was enjoyed by many, and of course the water trampoline was a lot of fun!
The 2 toddlers had so much fun running up and down the hill, and it helped to wear them out every day!
We would definitely recommend this place for a fun family vacation. If we go again, we will possibly take along some extra pillows and bedding as some were starting to get a little worn, and extra hand towels are always needed.
The owner was very helpful in answering any questions I had ahead of time and the description of the property was accurate.
Thanks much!
Owner's Response: I would like to thank Earl and Maureen for the review, and to take this opportunity to let you all know that Huvila Finlandia will be ready for the summer 2010 with new and fresh bedding, linens, as well as other upgrades.

Summer 2010 will be the second summer for Huvila Finlandia to be rented out, and with the experience of this summer, we have a better understanding of what is needed, since we really take pride in our cottage being a wonderful treat.

I thank everyone who took time to write a review and wish you all a good winter....Welcome back next summer!
best wishes, Helena

Relaxing get-away for all ages

Reeelax Chicago, IL
Review Submitted: August 28, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
This was truly a great place for my family of 15 that ranged in ages from 2 to 80. An extra bathroom would have made it perfect, but for this type of vacation, it wasn't necessary. The amenities were fantastic from a kitchen with plenty of everything to a huge deck and rolling lawn. The little kids loved fishing off the dock, and everyone had a blast on the water trampoline. I would not hesitate to go back or recommend this property.

Ideal family summer getaway

Elisabeth M. Naperville, IL USA
Review Submitted: August 24, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
My extended family of 12 had a fantastic time at Havila Finlandia! It's the perfect summer cottage, bright, open and relaxing. We stayed a week, and never needed to leave the property to look for entertainment. My single brother was pleased with the quiet privacy of his bed in the boathouse, away from the kids' early morning activity in the main house. There was plenty of comfortable outdoor seating. Many mature trees, with oaks and willows making for pleasant views. Everyone enjoyed the water trampoline and swimming, the water is very clean and cool. Our boys successfully fished off the dock with sticks baited with bread. Throw in the hammock and tree swing and we could not ask for more! Thanks so much for a great vacation!

Take a Break from Reality!

Erin S Allen, TX
Review Submitted: August 24, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
Huvila Finlandia is the perfect setting to lose track of time and get caught up in gorgeous scenery. The neighborhood is quaint and friendly, the house is open and spacious enough for the whole family, and the lake is clean and refreshing. There is plenty to do in the surrounding cities, but we couldn't pull ourselves away to find out. We enjoyed everything the lake had to offer during the day, grilled dinners on the huge deck in the evenings, and had campfires at night. The world around you seems to stop as you take a break from reality at Huvila Finlandia. I definitely recommend this vacation property!
